Abstract

This paper investigates the approximate solution of linear first-kind Fredholm integral equation (LFFIE). The LFFIE is an ill-posed problem  (ILPP) and often requires solving linear system of equations with high condition number, which makes it difficult or impossible to solve. A  novel approach is introduced, employing a mix of Benstein polynomials (BEPLs) and improved block-pulse functions (IBLPFs) within the  domain [0,1) as hybrid functions. Various properties of these functions are used to convert the LFFIE in to algebraic equations. Analysis of  the method's convergence together with numerical examples are provided to demonstrate how relevant the method is. The numerical  results proves that the hybrid function of IBLPFs together with BEPLs solve the LFFIE even with large condition number of the matrix.
