Convergence and stability of extended block boundary value methods for Volterra delay integro-differential equations (Q655550)

The authors apply block boundary value methods for initial value problems of ordinary differential equations to the solution of Volterra delay integro-differential equations. They propose a class of extended block boundary value methods and show that under Lipschitz conditions the method is convergent of order \(p\) if the underlying boundary value method has consistency order \(p\). The authors study the delay-dependent and delay-independent stability for the solution of linear problems and test the method by applying it to the Volterra delay dynamical model of two interacting species.
