Numerical solution of a type of weakly singular nonlinear Volterra integral equation by Tau Method

‎In this paper‎, ‎a matrix based method is considered for the solution of a class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations with a kernel of the general form $s^{beta}(t-s)^{-alpha}G(y(s))$ based on the Tau method‎. ‎In this method‎, ‎a transformation of the independent variable is first introduced in order to obtain a new equation with smoother solution‎. ‎Error analysis of this method is also presented‎. ‎Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the method‎.
