Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying the boundary value method for Volterra integral equations. High order numerical schemes are devised by using special multistep collocation methods, which depend on numerical approximations of the solution in the next several steps. Stability analysis illustrates these methods enjoy wide absolutely stable regions. With the help of efficient evaluation for highly oscillatory integrals, these methods are applied to solving Volterra integral equations with highly oscillatory kernels. Both theoretical and numerical results show they share the property that the higher the oscillation, the better the accuracy of the approximations.

Notes

  1. In the remaining part, we will abbreviate \(F_n(t_{n,i})\) to [Lag Term] for simplicity.

  2. To make use of the same collocation grid as CBVM, the stepsize of CCM is chosen to be 2h.
