Objectives: Introduction to new numerical techniques to solve differential, difference, and integro-differential equations (IDEs) are always remaining the thrust area of research for many scientists over the centuries. The prime objective of this work is to contribute a new numerical technique to solve IDEs. Method: To address non-linear integro-differential equations, we computed an operational matrix of derivatives based on the Hosoya polynomial of the path graph in this work. Findings: Using the derived operational matrix, we have solved both Volterra and Fredholm integrodifferential equations. Taking suitable examples accuracy of the projected method is demonstrated in this paper in terms of a graphical representation of the absolute error. The results of the examples reveal that the projected method is a suitable method to solve IDEs. Novelty: The application of the Hosoya polynomial of path graph to solve integro-differential equations is a novel approach in the field of numerical analysis.
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.
