We introduce and analyze a fully discrete numerical method for solving second order integrodifferential equations modelling dynamical systems whose evolution depends also on the past states. We show it is fourth order convergent. Then from the numerical approximate values for the unknown function, we reconstruct by means of deficient quartic splines a smooth solution of the problem. The reconstruction scheme is shown to be cubically convergent. Both methods when assuming analytic evaluation of the integrals are convergent with superquartic and supercubical rates respectively. For ordinary differential equations the scheme for the calculation of the solution at the grid knots gains one order of convergence. Numerical experiments confirm our theoretical findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
