The iterated Galerkin method for linear integro-differential equations (Q1104065)

The iterated Galerkin method is applied to the approximate solution of linear integro-differential equations. The author gets results similar to those of \textit{I. H. Sloan} [Treatment of integral equations by numerical methods, Proc. Symp., Durham 1982, 197-207 (1982; Zbl 0502.65076)], which studied the superconvergence for the approximate solution of integral equations of the second kind. Two approaches are presented to obtain superconvergence for the first iterates of the Galerkin procedure in the spaces \(W_ 2^ m\) and \(C^ m\).
