Description

A finite difference method and Gauss method of numerical integration are used to approximate the integro-differential system of an equation with the global error z(h)=O(h/sup 4/). The resulting system of algebraic equations is solved by efficient implicit iterations. A Mathematica module is designed for the purpose of testing and using the method. An example of an integral-differential equation with the Green's function as the kernel is solved.
