We establish some decay properties of the semigroup generated by a linear integro-differential equation in a Hilbert space, which is an abstract version of the equation ut(t)− β∆u(t)− ∫ ∞ 0 k(s)∆u(t− s)ds = 0 describing hereditary heat conduction.

Homotopy perturbation method is a well-known method for solving many functional equations such as differential equations, integral equations, integro-differential equations and so on. Applying this method needs some computations which are boring by hand. Therefore, creating a program to do all computations would be useful. In this work, a maple program is prepared to solve the second kind of Vo...

the spline collocation method  is employed to solve a system of linear and nonlinear fredholm and volterra integro-differential equations. the solutions are collocated by cubic b-spline and the integrand is approximated by the newton-cotes formula. we obtain the unique solution for linear and nonlinear system $(nn+3n)times(nn+3n)$ of integro-differential equations. this approximation reduces th...

A new class of numerical methods for Volterra integro-differential equations with memory is developed. The methods are based on the combination of general linear methods with compound quadrature rules. Sufficient conditions that guarantee global and asymptotic stability of the solution of the differential equation and its numerical approximation are established. Numerical examples illustrate th...

An integro-differential equation involving a convolution integral with a weakly singular kernel is considered. The kernel can be that of a fractional integral. The integro-differential equation is discretized using the discontinuous Galerkin method with piecewise constant basis functions. Sparse quadrature is introduced for the convolution term to overcome the problem with the growing amount of...

In this paper we derive an effective equation for derivative pricing which accounts for the presence of virtual arbitrage opportunities and their elimination by the market. We model the arbitrage return by a stochastic process and find an equation for the average derivative price. This is an integro-differential equation which, in the absence of the virtual arbitrage or for an infinitely fast m...
