Convergence of Runge-Kutta methods for neutral Volterra delay-integro-differential equations

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the error behavior of Runge-Kutta methods for nonlinear neutral Volterra delay-integro-differential equations (NVDIDEs) with constant delay. The convergence properties of the Runge-Kutta methods with two classes of quadrature technique, compound quadrature rule and Pouzet type quadrature technique, are investigated.

Keywords
