Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Legendre spectral Galerkin and Legendre spectral collocation methods to approximate the solution of Hammerstein integral equation. The convergence of the approximate solutions to the actual solution is discussed and the rates of convergence are obtained. We are able to obtain similar superconvergence rates for the iterated Legendre Galerkin solution for Hammerstein integral equations with smooth kernel as in the case of piecewise polynomial based Galerkin method.
