This study introduces a novel numerical scheme for singularly perturbed Fredholm integro-differential equations. The method achieves second-order uniform convergence, validated by theoretical analysis and computational results.
Area of Science:
- Numerical Analysis
- Computational Mathematics
- Differential Equations
Background:
- Singularly perturbed Fredholm integro-differential equations present significant numerical challenges.
- Existing methods may struggle with uniform convergence across various parameter values.
Purpose of the Study:

- To ensure stability and uniform convergence of the proposed method.
Main Methods:
- The scheme combines the exact (non-standard) finite difference method for the differential part.
- The composite Simpson's 1/3 rule is employed for the integral part.
Main Results:
- Stability and uniform convergence are rigorously analyzed using solution and truncation error bounds.
- Computational results demonstrate second-order uniform convergence for model examples.
- The method shows excellent agreement between theoretical predictions and numerical outcomes.
Conclusions:
- The proposed numerical scheme is effective and accurate for solving the target equations.
- The method exhibits robust performance across different perturbation parameters and mesh sizes.
- This work contributes a valuable tool for the numerical solution of these complex equations.
