Study of hybrid orthonormal functions method for solving second kind fuzzy Fredholm integral equations

The approximate numerical solution of the linear second kind of fuzzy integral Fredholm equations is discussed in this article. A new approach uses hybrid functions, and some useful properties of these functions are proposed to transform linear second type fuzzy integral Fredholm equations into an algebraic equation. The new approach is a mixture of Bernstein polynomials (BPs) and enhanced block-pulse functions (IBPFs) at interval [0,1)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$[0, 1)$\end{document}.

Introduction
There are many fuzzy mathematical models for the analysis of fuzzy systems with applications. The main objective of these models is to focus on how to use the model of a fuzzy system to solve fuzzy mathematics problems. Some mathematical models are based on fuzzy set theory; see [1]. In various cases of data collection one may identify situations, where measurements in a data sample are only partially associated with their underlying population. The presence of such data imposes challenges to any statistical procedure of the comparison of distributions or numerical characteristics of variables. Some work presents procedures to test the identity of distributions on the basis of one key, the socalled fuzzy samples; see for example [2]. Moreover, fuzzy systems and neural network techniques seem very well suited for typical technical problems; for example, see [3,4] where the generalized net model is addressed to the appraisal of lecturers with intuitionistic fuzzy estimations that represent a model of a digital university.
Integral fuzzy forms equations in applied mathematics are necessary to research and solve a large proportion of the problems in different topics. Fuzzy integral equations (FIEs) topics have been of increasing interest for some time, particularly in physics, geography, medicine, biology, and fuzzy control, and have grown rapidly in recent years. Some of the parameters for our problems are usually set for several applications that are typically defined by fuzzy numbers rather than smooth, and therefore it is important to establish mathematical models and computational methods for appropriate care and resolution of general fuzzy integral equations. Those were studied in particular by Nanda [5], Kaleva [6], Ralescu and Adams [7], Goetschel and Voxman [8], Wang [9], and Bede and Gal [10]. Molabahrami et al. [11] recently used the parametric shape of a fuzzy number and in the crisp case they transformed a linear fuzzy integral Fredholm equation to two linear systems of second type integral equations. These equations are usually analytically difficult to solve. Therefore approximate solutions need to be found. A variety of computational methods for solving linear fuzzy Fredholm integral equations have recently been investigated. Block-pulse functions [12][13][14][15][16][17], hair functions [18], triangular functions [19][20][21], Chebyshev hybrids with functions of block-pulse form [22,23], Legendre hybrid with functions of block-pulse form [24][25][26], hybrid Taylor, block-pulse functions [27], Fourier hybrid with functions of block-pulse form [28] and Bernstein polynomials hybrid with functions of block-pulse form [29][30][31]. Harmuth first introduced block-pulse functions to electrical engineering, and other scholars addressed the block pulse [32][33][34][35]. Bernstein polynomials play a prominent role in various mathematical fields. These polynomials were also used to solve integral equations, differentials and in approximation theory [36][37][38][39][40]. The improved block-pulse function is introduced by Farshid Mirzaee [41]. These modified block-pulse functions are applied to numerical solution of stochastic Volterra integral equations [42]. The Bernstein polynomials (BPs) and improved block-pulse functions (IBPFs) are introduced in [43].
The purpose of this article is the application of the HBIBP method, for the first time, to get an approximate solution for the second kind of linear Fredholm fuzzy equations. Finally, we test the system on a few examples to demonstrate its accuracy and effectiveness.
The paper is organized as follows: Several notes and theorems on fuzzy set structures and analysis of integral equations of fuzzy Fredholm type, improved block-pulse function and polynomials of Bernstein and its properties are briefly discussed in Sect. 2. In Sect. 3, we are launching a new blend of the Bernstein and enhanced block-pulse functions. The linear integral Fredholm equation is solved using a new basis in Sect. 4. The error estimate is given in Sect. 5 for the proposed method. Test problems to demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of the proposed scheme are considered in Sect. 6. Finally, we make our closing remarks.

Bernstein-type polynomials
By binomial expansion of (1x) M-i , we get The Bernstein polynomials can be proved to be positive and the sum of all the Bernstein polynomials is unity, for all real x ∈ [0, 1], i.e., M i=0 B i,M (x) = 1 (unity partition property). We can easily prove that every Mth degree polynomial can be extended in terms of these basis functions.

Improved block-pulse function
Definition An (n + 1)-set of IBPFs consists of (n + 1) functions that are specified over a region D, with a slight change in the definition of function, as follows [41]: Here n is an arbitrary positive integer, and h = 1 n .
The most important properties for these functions are disjointness, orthogonality, and completeness.
Lemma Let a set of improved block-pulse functions (IBPFs) ϕ i (x), i = 1, 2, . . . , N + 1 be defined on the interval [0, 1) such that The properties of such functions correspond to the following: Proof Using the definition of an improved block pulse, the disjointness property can be obtained as follows: The other property of IBPFs is mutual orthogonality, where x ∈ D, For the completeness property: every f ∈ L 2 [0, 1]. If n goes to infinity, Parseval's identity holds:

Vector forms of IBPFS
Consider the first (n + 1) terms of IBPFs and write them concisely as (n + 1)-vector

IBPFs expansions
A continuous function f (x) ∈ L 2 (D) may be expanded by the IBPFs as where F n is a (n + 1) × 1 vector given by and n (x) is defined in (2.1) and f i is obtained as Similarly a function of two variables K(x, y) ∈ L 2 (D × D) can be approximated by IBPFs as follows: Here n (x) and n (y) are IBPFs vector of dimension (n + 1) and K n = [k i,j ] is the (n + 1) × (n + 1) IBPFs coefficient matrix of k(x, y).

Fuzzy functions
Now recall the following definitions needed throughout the paper.

New hybrid Bernstein improved block-pulse functions (HBIBPFs) method
Definition ( [43]) HBIBP i,j (x) is the combination of Bernstein polynomials and improved block-pulse functions where both are complete and orthogonal, then the set is a complete orthogonal complete system. Hybrid orthonormal Bernstein and improved block-pulse functions where j = 0, 1, . . . , M, i = 1, 2, . . . , N + 1, HBIBP i,j (x) have two arguments; i and j are the order of IBPFs and degree of BPs, respectively. HBIBP(x) is defined on the interval [0, 1) as follows:

Function approximation by HBIBPFs
In terms of the HBIBP basis a function u(x) can be expressed as follows: where ·, · is the standard inner product and L is an ((N + 1)(M + 1) × (N + 1)(M + 1)) matrix that is said to be the dual matrix; that is,

Solving integral Fredholm equation of second kind via HBIBP function
In this section, a HBIBPF method is presented to transform the fuzzy Fredholm integral equation of the second kind that is linear (FFIE-2) to two crisp coupled systems. First we consider the fuzzy Fredholm case as the integral Eq. (2.2) in this article with a = 0, b = 1 and λ = 1, whereũ(x),f (x) ∈ L 2 ([0, 1)) and k(x, t) ∈ L 2 ([0, 1) × [0, 1)). Our task is to evaluate HBIBP coefficients from the information functions and kernel within the interval [0, 1). So, we can add the FFIE-2 parametric form as follows: Here I is the (N + 1)(M + 1) identity matrix, then the above equation can be written as follows: For the solution of the above matrix, we can find the matrix U1. So u(x, r) = HBIBP T (x).U1. HBIBP(r). The same pattern is true of Eq. (4.2).

Proof Assumeũ E (x) andũ(x) are the exact and approximate solutions of Eq. (2.2), respectively. Then Therefore if M < 1, we will have

Numerical examples
The accuracy of the proposed solution is demonstrated by solving the following test problems, where all the computations were carried out using the Matlab program (R2018b).
The exact solution in this case is given by u(x, r) = (2r)x. Table 1 shows the comparison of the approximate solution for presented method, blockpulse functions [46] for m = 32, hybrid block-pulse functions and Taylor series (HBT) with M = 4, N = 2 (N and M are the order of block-pulse functions and Taylor polynomials, respectively) [45] and the exact solution.
Example 2 Consider the following linear Fredholm integral fuzzy equation [47]: and k(x, t) = (2t -1) 2 (1 -2x), 0 ≤ x, t ≤ 1 and λ = 1. The exact solution in this case is given by u(x, r) = (2r)x. Table 2 shows the comparison of the approximate solution for presented method, two methods in [47] (hybrid block-pulse functions and Bernoulli polynomials (HBPBPs) and Bernoulli polynomials (BPs)) with M = 10, N = 10 where N and M are the order of blockpulse functions and Bernoulli polynomials, respectively and the exact solution.   u(x, r), u(x, r) . Table 4 shows the comparison of the approximate solution for presented method and the exact solution.
