For the pantograph integro-differential equation (PIDE) with nonhomogeneous term:
Cannot display formula, with proportional delays
σ(q)t and
ρ(q)t,0<σ(q),ρ(q)≤1,0<q≤1, we consider the attainable order of
m-stage implicit (collocation-based) Runge–Kutta methods at the first mesh point
t=h, and give conditions on the collocation polynomials
Mm(t) of degree
m to
v(th),t
[0,1] such that
|v(h)−y(h)|=O(h2m+1), where
y(t) is the solution and
v(t) is the collocation solution of PIDE. If
m=2 or
f(t) is a polynomial of
t whose degree is less than or equal to
m, then such conditions of
Mm(t) are simplified. A numerical example is also included.
