Abstract

The spline collocation method  is employed to solve a system of linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations. The solutions are collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula. We obtain the unique solution for linear and nonlinear system $(nN+3n)\times(nN+3n)$ of integro-differential equations. This approximation reduces the system of integro-differential equations to an explicit system of algebraic equations. At the end, some examples are presented to illustrate the ability and simplicity of the method.
