Abstract:
The shifted Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto pseudospectral (SJGLP) method is applied to neutral functional-differential equations (NFDEs) with proportional delays. The proposed approximation is based on shifted Jacobi collocation approximation with the nodes of Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. The shifted Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto Pseudo-spectral and Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto Pseudo-spectral methods can be obtained as special cases of the underlying method. Moreover, the SJGLP method is extended to numerically approximate the nonlinear high-order NFDE with proportional delay. Some examples are displayed for implicit and explicit forms of NFDEs to demonstrate the computation accuracy of the proposed method. We also compare the performance of the method with variational iteration method, one-leg theta-method, continuous Runge-Kutta method, and reproducing kernel Hilbert space method.
