Abstract
In this paper a collection of efficient algorithms are described for solving an algebraic system
with a symmetric Toeplitz coecient matrix. Systems of this form arise when approximating the solution of
boundary value Volterra integro-differential equations with finite difference methods. In the nonlinear case,
an iterative procedure is required and is incorporated into the algorithms presented. Numerical examples
illustrate the results.
