Implicit Runge-Kutta-Nyström methods for general second-order Volterra integro differential equations (Q1095622): Difference between revisions

Collocation methods for second order integro differential equations of the form \[ y''(t)=f(t,y(t),y'(t))+\int^{t}_{0}k(t,s,y(s),y'(s))ds \] are considered. Optimal order of convergence is proven in the case when the method is based on the Gauss, Radau II or Lobatto quadrature. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretically predicted convergence rates.
