Abstract

In this paper, the problem of solving the parabolic partial differential equations subject to given initial and nonlocal boundary conditions is considered. We change the problem to a system of Volterra integral equations of convolution type. By using Sinc-collocation method, the resulting integral equations are replaced by a system of linear algebraic equations. The convergence analysis is included, and it is shown that the error in the approximate solution is bounded in the infinity norm by the condition number of the coefficient matrix multiplied by a factor that decays exponentially with the size of the system. Some examples are considered to illustrate the ability of this method.
