A new technique to solve linear integro-differential equations (IDEs) with modified Bernoulli polynomials
share
In this work, a new technique has been presented to find approximate solution of linear integro-differential equations. The method is based on modified orthonormal Bernoulli polynomials and an operational matrix thereof. The method converts a given integro-differential equation into a set of algebraic equations with unknown coefficients, which is easily obtained with help of the known functions appearing in the equation, modified Bernoulli polynomials and operational matrix. Approximate solution is obtained in form of a polynomial of required degree. The method is also applied to three well known integro-differential equations to demonstrated the accuracy and efficacy of the method. Numerical results of approximate solution are plotted to compared with available exact solutions. Considerably small error of approximation is observed through numerical comparison, which is further reducible to a required level of significance. Method is comparatively simpler and shorter than many existing methods.
