Abstract

We aim in this paper to develop a new algorithm for approximating the analytic solution for the integrodifferential
equations using the Galerkin method. The bases of the solution obtained by the proposed algorithm
are Chebyshev polynomials. Meanwhile, some theorems are deducted to simplify the nonlinear algebraic set
resulted from applying the Galerkin method, while Newton's method is used to solve the resulting nonlinear
algebraic system. Examples are introduced to prove the effectiveness of this algorithm in comparison with some
other methods.
