Numerical analysis of a high order method for state-dependent delay integral equations (Q2453476)

The authors give some preliminary concepts and results regarding the continuity and smoothing properties of the solution. The numerical solvability of the problem \[ \begin{cases} y(t)=g(t)+(w_{\theta}y)(t),\qquad\qquad & t\in I:=[a,T], \\ \theta(t,y(t))\leq t, & \\ y(t) = \phi(t), & t\in [\lambda, a], \end{cases} \] where \(\lambda=\inf\{ \theta(t,y(t)), t\in I \}\) andthe Volterra integral operator \(w_{\theta}:C[\lambda,T]\to C[\lambda,T]\) is defined as: \[ \displaystyle (w_{\theta}y)(t) :=\int_{\theta(t,y(t))}^{t}K(t,s)y(s)ds \] using the piecewise collocation method is studied. They investigate a general convergence theorem using an alternative approaching. In Section 5, numerical results are given by tables and graphics.
