A block by block method for the numerical solution of Volterra integral equations

4. Conclusions TheO(h ⁶) block-by-block method developed here gives accurate results without the requirement of a start-up procedure and with good computational efficiency. The computing cost, based upon the number of timesk is evaluated, is proportional ton ²/2+3n wheren is the number of mesh points. The examples are linear, but were solved by iterating the system of equations (4) fifteen times.
