Taylor collocation method for solution of systems of high-order linear Fredholm–Volterra integro-differential equations

Abstract

A Taylor collocation method is presented for numerically solving the system of high-order linear Fredholm–Volterra integro-differential equations in terms of Taylor polynomials. Using the Taylor collocations points, the method transforms the system of linear integro-differential equations (IDEs) and the given conditions into a matrix equation in the unknown Taylor coefficients. The Taylor coefficients can be found easily, and hence the Taylor polynomial approach can be applied. This method is also valid for the systems of differential and integral equations. Numerical examples are presented to illusturate the accuracy of the method. The symbolic algebra program Maple is used to prove the results.
