### Sinc-collocation methods for Volterra integro-differential equations

T. Okayama

Abstract
In this talk, numerical schemes by means of Sinc methods for Volterra integro-differential equations $u'(t)&=g(t)+\mu(t)u(t)+\mathcal{V}[u](t), a\leq t\leq b, u(a)&=u_a$ are considered. Here, $g$ and $\mu$ are known functions, $u$ is the solution to be determined, and $\mathcal{V}$ is the Volterra integral operator defined by $\mathcal{V}[f](t)=\int_a^tk(t,r)f(r)\mathrm{d}r$, where $k(t,r)$ is a known function. As a related study, Zarebnia [1] reduced the given equations to Volterra integral equations, and applied the Sinc-Nyström method developed by Muhammad et al. [2]. However, the computational cost of the method is relatively high, because the approximate solution includes double summation. Instead, a Sinc-collocation method is developed in this study, where only single summation is included. This study further improves the method by replacing the standard variable transformation with the trending one [3].
