Abstract

In this paper a study of the existence, uniqueness, stability and convergence of a class of C2-spline collocation methods for solving delay differential equations (DDEs) is introduced. Letting the interior collocation points [image omitted] , j=1(1)3 be dependent on the parameters c1, c2∈(0, 1) and c3=1 it is shown that the proposed methods for DDEs possess a convergence rate of order six if 58-57(c1+c2)+55c1 c2=0, and they are unstable if c1+c2
