Numerical computational technique for solving Volterra integro-differential equations of the third kind using meshless collocation method

Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to give an approximate algorithm for solving Volterra integro-differential equations (VIDEs) of the third kind using meshless collocation techniques. The basic framework of the novel approach is based on a collocation scheme and radial basis functions (RBFs) created on scattered points. This technique requires no background approximation cells, and the algorithm is powerful, has greater stability, and does not require much computer memory. This approach represents the solution of VIDEs of the third kind by interpolating the RBFs based on the Gauss–Legendre quadrature formula. The problem is reduced to a system of algebraic equations that can be easily solved. A description of the technique for the proposed equations is provided. Furthermore, the error analysis of this scheme is examined. A few numerical experiments are presented to prove the reliability and precision of the suggested approach for solving VIDEs of the third kind. Certain problems were compared with analytical solutions, the moving least squares method, and other methods to prove the effectiveness and applicability of the approach described.
