The eigenvalues of the integral equation are
λ=α0.5{−12(α+1)±12α+2α+0.5},(α=0),(3.43)
and hence, for any non-eigenvalue $\mu \neq \lambda$, the integral Eq. (3.42) has a unique solution.
Now, let $\phi(x) = a_0 + a_1 x$ be an approximate solution to the Eq. (3.42). Substituting this approximate solution in the Eq. (3.42), we obtain
a0−μ(32+αx)a0−10μ(4+5αx)a1+xa1=f(x),0≤x≤1.(3.44)
Multiplying the Eq. (3.44) by $1$ and $x$ and then integrating from $x=0$ to $x=1$, we get
−31{−3+2(1+α)μ}a0−301{−15+2(6+5α)μ}a1=f1(3.45)
and
301{15−2(5+6α)μ}a0+151{5−3(1+α)μ}a1=f2,(3.46)
where
f1=∫01f(x)dx,f2=∫01xf(x)dx.(3.47)
Eqs. (3.45) and (3.46) are solvable if and only if the determinant of their coefficients is non-zero which leads to
μ=α0.125{−50(1+α)±50α+0.5068α+1.9732},(α=0),(3.48)
showing that there exists a value of $\mu \neq \lambda$ for which the matrix of the system of Eqs. (3.45) and (3.46) becomes singular.
Example-II:
ϕ(x)−λ∫0π(αsinx+cost)ϕ(t)dt=f(x),0≤x≤π.(3.49)
The eigenvalues of the integral Eq. (3.49) are
λ=2α1,(α=0).(3.50)
If $\phi(x) = a_0 + a_1 x$ is an approximate solution of the Eq. (3.49), we obtain
(1−μαπsinx)a0+(x+2μ−2π2μαsinx)a1=f(x),0≤x≤1.(3.51)
Then, multiplying the Eq. (3.51) by $x$ and $x^2$ and integrating from $x=0$ to $x=\pi$, we get
(2π2−απ2μ)a0+(−2π3αμ+31π2(3μ+π))a1=f3(3.52)
and
(3π3+4απμ−απ3μ)a0+(4π2+2απ2μ+32π3μ−21απ4μ)a1=f4,(3.53)
where
f3=∫0πxf(x)dx,f4=∫0πx2f(x)dx.(3.54)
