Synopsis

We present a generalisation of the continuous Gronwall inequality and show its use in bounding solutions of discrete inequalities of a form that arise when analysing the convergence of product integration methods for Volterra integral equations. We then use these ideas to prove convergence of a numerical method which is effective in approximating Volterra integral equations of the second kind with weakly singular kernels.
