Abstract
A Taylor matrix method is developed to find an approximate
solution of the most general linear Fredholm
integrodifferential-difference equations with variable
coefficients under the mixed conditions in terms of Taylor
polynomials. This method transforms the given general linear
Fredholm integrodifferential-difference equations and the mixed
conditions to matrix equations with unknown Taylor coefficients.
By means of the obtained matrix equations, the Taylor coefficients
can be easily computed. Hence, the finite Taylor series approach
is obtained. Also, examples are presented and the results are
discussed.
