This paper studies the second kind linear Volterra integral equations (IEs) with a discontinuous kernel obtained from the load leveling and energy system problems. For solving this problem, we propose the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). We then discuss the convergence theorem and the error analysis of the formulation to validate the accuracy of the obtained solutions. In this study, the Controle et Estimation Stochastique des Arrondis de Calculs method (CESTAC) and the Control of Accuracy and Debugging for Numerical Applications (CADNA) library are used to control the rounding error estimation. We also take advantage of the discrete stochastic arithmetic (DSA) to find the optimal iteration, optimal error and optimal approximation of the HPM. The comparative graphs between exact and approximate solutions show the accuracy and efficiency of the method.
The main solutions in sense of Kantorovich of nonlinear Volterra operatorintegral equations are constructed. Convergence of the successive approximations is established through studies of majorant integral and majorant algebraic equations. Estimates are derived for the solutions and for the intervals on the right margin of which the solution has blow-up or solution start branching.
