Numerical Solution of Second-Order Linear Delay Differential and Integro-Differential Equations by Using Taylor Collocation Method

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to provide a numerical approach for linear second-order differential and integro-differential equations with constant delay. An algorithm based on the use of Taylor polynomials is developed to construct a collocation solution [Formula: see text] for approximating the solution of second-order linear DDEs and DIDEs. It is shown that this algorithm is convergent. Some numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity of this algorithm.
