We consider an initial value problem for a linear first-order Volterra delay integro-differential equation. We develop a novel difference scheme for the approximate solution of this problem via a finite difference method. The method is based on the fitted difference scheme on a uniform mesh which is achieved by using the method of integral identities which includes the exponential basis functions and applying to interpolate quadrature formulas that contain the remainder term in integral form. Also, the method is proved to be first-order convergent in the discrete maximum norm. Furthermore, a numerical experiment is performed to verify the theoretical results. Finally, the proposed scheme is compared with the implicit Euler scheme.
Finite difference technique is applied to numerical solution of the initial-boundary value problem for the semilinear delay Sobolev or pseudoparabolic equation. By the method of integral identities two-level difference scheme is constructed. For the time integration the implicit rule is being used. Based on the method of energy estimates the fully discrete scheme is shown to be absolutely stable and convergent of order two in space and of order one in time. The error estimates are obtained in the discrete norm. Some numerical results confirming the expected behavior of the method are shown.
