Abstract

In this paper, we use operational matrices of piecewise constant orthogonal functions on the interval [0,1) to solve Volterra integral and integro-differential equations of convolution type without solving any system. We first obtain Laplace transform of the problem and then we find numerical inversion of Laplace transform by operational matrices. Numerical examples show that the approximate solutions have a good degree of accuracy.
