Abstract
We present new two numerical methods for the solution of non-singular integral of
the first kind, which they are simple to use. Numerical comparisons indicate that they
achieves comparable accuracy. Numerical results are illustrated by different examples.

1. Introduction
where gðxÞ and kðx; tÞ are known function, yðtÞ is the unknown function to be
determined and X is some large constant. Equations of this form are in general
ill-posed, for a given k, g; (1.1) may have no solution, while if a solution exists
the response ratio koyk=kogk to small perturbations in g may be arbitrary
large. We shall consider here the use of Chebyshev interpolation. Baker [1,4]
studied the numerical treatment of integral equations, Brunner [2] investigated
the solution of Volterra integral equations of the first kind by piecewise
polynomials. Babolian and Delves [3] discuss an augmented Galerkin method
for first kind Fredholm equations, Holyhead and Mckee [5] investigate Taylor,
multistep method for solving linear Volterra integral equations of the first kind.
Lewis [6] studied the numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the
first kind.

We compare these methods on several examples two have also been con-
sidered by Lewis (1975) and Delves (1979) compared the performance of sev-
eral versions of both the regularization and eigenfunction expansion
algorithms for first kind.
