Solving neutral delay differential equations using least square method based on successive integration technique

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to propose the Least square method (LSM) using successive integration technique for solving Neutral delay differential equations (NDDEs). Continuous LSM and Discrete LSM have been presented by adopting different orthogonal polynomials as weighted basis functions. In this study, the most widely used classical orthogonal polynomials, namely, the Bernoulli polynomial, the Chebyshev polynomial, the Hermite polynomial, and the Fibonacci polynomial are considered. Numerical examples of linear and nonlinear NDDEs have been provided to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method. Approximate solutions obtained by the proposed method are well comparable with exact solutions. From the results it is observed that the accuracy of the numerical solutions by the proposed method increases as N (order of the polynomial) increases. The proposed method is very effective, simple, and suitable for solving the linear and nonlinear NDDEs in real-world problems.
