A Legendre-Gauss collocation method for nonlinear delay differential equations (Q974360)

The authors discuss the single-step Legendre-Gauss collocation method for integration processes involving nonlinear delay differential equations. They also describe the multi-domain version and establish related convergence results. The numerical errors of the methods are characterized by the semi-norm of the exact solutions in certain Sobolev spaces. These sharp norms are in particular necessary for problems with degenerated initial data. The numerical results demonstrate the spectral accurary of proposed algorithms and coincide with the theoretical analysis developed in this paper.
