Crank-Nicolson Quasi-Wavelet Based Numerical Method for Volterra Integro-Differential Equations on Unbounded Spatial Domains

Abstract

AbstractThe numerical solution of a parabolic Volterra integro-differential equation with a memory term on a one-dimensional unbounded spatial domain is considered. A quasi-wavelet based numerical method is proposed to handle the spatial discretisation, the Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for the time discretisation, and second-order quadrature to approximate the integral term. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of this approach.
