Abstract:
In this paper, we use multistep block method for solving linear and nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations (VIDEs) of the second kind. The VIDEs will be solved by using the combination of multistep block method of order three and Newton-Cotes quadrature rule of suitable order. The proposed method will solve VIDEs for $K(x, s) = 1$ and $K(x, s) \neq 1$. The stability region of the method will be given. Numerical problems are included to represent the performance of the proposed method.

Keywords: Volterra integro-differential equations, multistep block method, quadrature rule
