We consider finding asymptotic solutions of the singularly perturbed linear Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernels. An interesting aspect of these problems is that the discontinuity of the kernel causes layer solutions to decay algebraically rather than exponentially within the initial (boundary) layer. To analyse this phenomenon, the paper demonstrates the similarity that these solutions have to a special function called the Mittag-Leffler function.
The additive decomposition singular perturbation method and the theory of fractional integration are used to study asymptotic solutions of singularly perturbed Volterra integrodifferential equations with kernels having integrable singularity. The validity of the approximation is also demonstrated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
