Abstract

We investigate multi-step Chebyshev spectral collocation method for Volterra integro-differential equations. We obtain numerical solution Y(t) and \(Y'(t)\) to approximate unknown function y(t) and its derivative \(y'(t)\) while Y(t) and \(Y'(t)\) keep the relation that \(Y'(t)\) is the derivative of Y(t). We discuss existence and uniqueness of the solution to corresponding discrete system. We provide convergence analysis for proposed method. Numerical experiments are carried out to confirm theoretical results.
