Jacobi Operational Matrix Approach for Solving Systems of Linear and Nonlinear Integro-Differential Equations

This paper aims to construct a general formulation for the shifted Jacobi operational matrices of integration and product. The main aim is to generalize the Jacobi integral and product operational matrices to the solving system of Fredholm and Volterra integro--differential equations which appear in various fields of science such as physics and engineering. The Operational matrices together with the collocation method are applied to reduce the solution of these problems to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Indeed, to solve the system of integro-differential equations, a fast algorithm is used for simplifying the problem under study. The method is applied to solve system of linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the presented method. It is further found that the absolute errors are almost constant in the studied interval. Also, several theorems related to the convergence of the proposed method, will be presented.
