Abstract

A method to enclose the solution of an integral equation of the Fredholm type is presented. The enclosure is based on an interval mean value extension of the integral operator T for which y=T(y) and y is a solution. If T is a contraction near y then the method is proven to converge for appropriate initial conditions. If the region specified by the user does not contain any solution, then the method may be able to disprove the existence of solutions in this region. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by numerical examples.
