A new approach, Coiflet-type wavelet Galerkin method, is proposed for numerically solving the Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. Based on the Coiflet-type wavelet approximation scheme, arbitrary nonlinear term of the unknown function in an equation can be explicitly expressed. By incorporating such a modified wavelet approximation scheme into the conventional Galerkin method, the nonsingular property of the connection coefficients significantly reduces the computational complexity and achieves high precision in a very simple way. Thus, one can obtain a stable, highly accurate, and efficient numerical method without calculating the connection coefficients in traditional Galerkin method for solving the nonlinear algebraic equations. At last, numerical simulations are performed to show the efficiency of the method proposed.
