A computational method for numerically solving linear integro-differential equations

Saeed Hatamzadeh-Varmazyar, Zahra Masouri

Abstract



A special representation of vector forms of triangular functions (TFs) is used for formulation of an efficient direct method for numerical solution of linear Volterra and Fredholm integrodifferential equations. Using this approach, an integro-differential equation reduces to a linear system of algebraic equations. No integration is needed for setting up the system and, therefore, all calculations can easily be implemented. Moreover, no projection method such as collocation, Galerkin, and so on, is used for implementation of this approach which leads to a lower computational cost. Some test problems are provided to illustrate that the method is practical and has a good accuracy.

Keywords


Integro-differential equations, Direct method, Vector forms, Triangular functions, Operational matrix of integration.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
