Summary
Finite dimensional iteration schemes which provide pointwise bounds for the solutions of nonlinear integral equations are considered. The method is based on a discretization technique which takes advantage of apriori known structure properties of the solutions. The resulting iteration can be carried out on a computer for as many steps as desired. Its high degree of accuracy is shown by numerical examples.
