Abstract
In this paper an application of the homotopy analysis method for some type of nonlinear and linear integral equations of the second kind is presented. A special case of considered equation is the Volterra- Fredholm integral equation. In homotopy analysis method a series is created. It has shown that if the series is convergent, its sum is the solution of the considered equation. It has been also shown that under proper assumptions the considered equation possesses a unique solution and the series obtained in homotopy analysis method is convergent. The error of the approximate solution was estimated. This approximate solution is obtained when we limit to the partial sum of the series.Application of the method is illustrated with examples.
