A novel collocation method based on residual error analysis for solving integro-differential equations using hybrid Dickson and Taylor polynomials

In this study, a novel matrix method based on collocation points is proposed to solve some linear and nonlinear integro-differential equations with variable coefficients under the mixed conditions. The solutions are obtained by means of Dickson and Taylor polynomials. The presented method transforms the equation and its conditions into matrix equations which comply with a system of linear algebraic equations with unknown Dickson coefficients, via collocation points in a finite interval. While solving the matrix equation, the Dickson coefficients and the polynomial approximation are obtained. Besides, the residual error analysis for our method is presented and illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method

Polynomial solution of high-order linear Fredholm integro-differential equations with constant coefficients

In this study, a practical matrix method is presented to find an approximate solution of high-order linear Fredholm integro-differential equations with constant coefficients under the initial-boundary conditions in terms of Taylor polynomials. The method converts the integro-differential equation to a matrix equation, which corresponds to a system of linear algebraic equations. Error analysis and illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. (c) 2008 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
