Abstract

We are concerned here with a nonlinear quadratic integral equation (QIE). The existence
of a unique solution will be proved. Convergence analysis of Adomian decomposition method
(ADM) applied to these type of equations is discussed. Convergence analysis is reliable enough
to estimate the maximum absolute truncated error of Adomian’s series solution. Two methods
are used to solve these type of equations; ADM and repeated trapezoidal method. The obtained
results are compared.
