Abstract: Integral equations play major roles in different fields of science and engineering, therefore, a new method for finding a solution of the Volterra integral equation is presented. So we have applied a structure of hybrid neural networks (NNs). The proposed neural net can get a real input vector and calculates its corresponding output vector. Next, a learning algorithm based on the gradient descent method has been defined for adjusting the connection weights. Eventually, we have showed this method in comparison with existing numerical methods such as trapezoidal quadrature rule provides solutions with good generalisation and high accuracy. The proposed method is illustrated by several examples with computer simulations.
