Abstract

The blow-up phenomenon may occur in nonlinear integral equations and differential equations, which has important significance for the simulation of some practical problems. This paper is devoted to predicting the blow-up time for convolution Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations using the series expansion of the solution about the origin. First, the finite-term series expansion for the solution about the origin is obtained via Picard iteration and symbolic computation, which has high accuracy near the origin. Second, the Padé approximation of the series expansion is made to extend the convergence region of the series. The blow-up time of the solution is estimated by calculating the smallest positive root of the denominator of the rational function. Third, an integral transform is performed to the series expansion to convert the branch point to a pole of order one at the blow-up time, so the predicted accuracy of the blow-up time is improved remarkably. Numerical examples illustrate that the proposed method is very efficient for estimating the blow-up time of Volterra integral equations and some kinds of differential equations.
