Abstract

In this paper, we examine the nonlinear Weakly Singular Volterra Integral Equation(WSVIE),  u(x)=f(x)+0xtμ1xμ[u(t)]βdt. AL-Jawary and Shehan used Daftardar-Jafari Method(DJM) and solved the above integral equation for the investigation parameter μ>1 using specific force functions with μ and β values and obtained unique solutions. We have discovered a force function f(x)=xk1xγk1γk1+μ, that allows the introduction of noise terms phenomena discovered by Wazwaz; that cancel out the terms of the power series in the successive solution terms um, m=0,1,2,...,n: we thus obtain a maximum finite power series terms for each solution term called truncation point and denoted by xg(n).  Such that the integral solution can be written as u(x)=u0+m=1num, where n is finite. Simplifying the solution terms we get the unique solution u(x)=xk1, irrespective of nvalue in the truncation point. We discovered a formula relation between the last solution term un and the truncation point as un=anxg(n). Our results confirm the results of the two solution examples of AL-Jawary and Shehan for the investigation parameter μ>1. We extend the parameter range to include μ>1 and 0<μ1 for our solution. In addition, for any chosen rational parameter k1, the solution u(x)=xk1 is extrapolated to be valid for all integer parameter values β2, and positive rational parameter value μ>0  and for any finite value of n2.
