The conjugate gradient method for solving fredholm integral equations of the second kind

Abstract

The conjugate gradient method (CG method) is applied to linear integral equations of the second kind. Based on a result from Winther [23] rate of convergence is given for several integral operators considering the smoothness of the kernel function. Numerical examples are included.
