Abstract. A semidiscrete finite volume element (FVE) approximation to a parabolic integrodifferential equation (PIDE) is analyzed in a two-dimensional convex polygonal domain. An optimalorder L2-error estimate for smooth initial data and nearly the same optimal-order L2-error estimate for nonsmooth initial data are obtained. More precisely, for homogeneous equations, an elementary energy techni...

The paper deals with a semilinear integrodifferential equation that characterizes several dissipative models of Viscoelasticity, Biology and Superconductivity. The initial boundary problem with Neumann conditions is analyzed. When the source term F is a linear function, then the explicit solution is obtained. When F is non linear, some results on existence, uniqueness and a priori estimates are...

This paper is concerned with the derivation of hybrid kinetic partial integrodifferential equations that can be proposed for the mathematical modeling of multicellular systems subjected to external force fields and characterized by nonconservative interactions. In order to prevent an uncontrolled time evolution of the moments of the solution, a control operator is introduced which is based on t...

In this note, convex Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is presented for the approximate solution of the linear Fredholm-Volterra integral and integro-differential equation. Convergence and rate of convergence of the HPM are proved for both equations. Five numerical examples are provided to verify the validity and accuracy of the proposed method. Example reveals that HPM is very accurate and si...

Simplest results presented here are the stability criteria of collocation methods for the second-order Volterra integrodifferential equation (VIDE) by polynomial spline functions. The polynomial spline collocation method is stable if all eigenvalues of a matrix are in the unit disk and all eigenvalues with |λ| = 1 belong to a 1× 1 Jordan block. Also many other conditions are derived depending u...

A semidiscrete finite volume element(FVE) approximation to parabolic integrodifferential equation(PIDE) is analyzed in a two-dimensional convex polygonal domain. Optimal order L-error estimates are derived for both smooth and nonsmooth initial data. More precisely, for homogeneous equations, an elementary energy technique and duality argument is used to derive optimal L-error estimate of order ...
