Solving Volterra Integro-Differential Equations involving Delay: A New Higher Order Numerical Method

Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to introduce a new numerical method for solving nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations involving delay. We apply trapezium rule to the integral involved in the equation. Further, Daftardar-Gejji and Jafari method (DGJ) is employed to solve the implicit equation. Existence-uniqueness theorem is derived for solutions of such equations and the error and convergence analysis of the proposed method is presented. We illustrate efficacy of the newly proposed method by constructing examples.
