The modeling of various physical questions in plasma kinetics and heat conduction lead to nonlinear boundary value problems involving a nonlocal operator, such as the integral of the unknown solution, which depends on the entire function in the domain rather than at a single point.

Abstract
The modeling of various physical questions in plasma kinetics and heat conduction lead to nonlinear boundary value problems involving a nonlocal operator, such as the integral of the unknown solution, which depends on the entire function in the domain rather than at a single point. This talk concerns a particular nonlocal boundary value problem recently studied in [1] by J.R.Cannon and D.J.Galiffa, who proposed a numerical method based on an interval-halving scheme. Starting from their results, we provide a more general convergence theorem and suggest a different iterative procedure to handle the nonlinearity of the discretized problem.
