In this paper, we present and analyze a single interval Legendre-Gaussspectral collocation method for solving the second order nonlinear delay differentialequations with variable delays. We also propose a novel algorithm for the singleinterval scheme and apply it to the multiple interval scheme for more efficient implementation. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the high accuracy ofthe proposed methods.
We analyze an h-p version Petrov-Galerkin finite element method for linear Volterra integrodifferential equations. We prove optimal a priori error bounds in the L2- and H1-norm that are explicit in the time steps,the approximation orders and in the regularity of the exact solution. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results. Moreover,we observe that the numerical scheme superconverges at the nodal points of the time partition.
