Consider a linear operator equation $x - Kx = f$, where $f$ is given and $K$ is a Fredholm integral operator with a Green's function type kernel defined on $C[0, 1]$. For $r \geq 0$, we employ the interpolatory projection at $2r + 1$ collocation points (not necessarily Gauss points) onto a space of piecewise polynomials of degree $\leq 2r$ with respect to a uniform partition of $[0, 1]$. Previous researchers have established that, in the case of smooth kernels with piecewise polynomials of even degree, iteration in the collocation method and its variants improves the order of convergence by projection methods. In this article, we demonstrate the improvement in order of convergence by modified collocation method when the kernel is of Green's function type.
