M.Sc. (Applied Mathematics) / Numerous studies on linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equations (VIEs), have been performed. These studies mainly considered the existence and uniqueness of the solution, and numerical solutions of these equations. In this work, a class of nonlinear (nonstandard) Volterra integral equation that has received very little attention in the literature is considered. The existence and uniqueness of the solution for the nonlinear VIE is proved using the contraction mapping theorem in the space C[0; d]. Collocation methods, repeated trapezoidal rule and repeated Simpson's rule are used to solve the nonlinear (nonstandard) VIE. For the collocation solutions we considered two cases: implicit Euler method and implicit midpoint method. Examples are used to compare the performance of these methods and the results show that the repeated Simpson's rule performs better than the other methods. An analysis of the collocation solution and the solution by the repeated trapezoidal rule is performed. Su cient conditions for existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution are given. The collocation methods and repeated trapezoidal rule yield convergence of order one.
