Submission of an original manuscript to the Mathematical Communications will be taken to mean that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication; and, if accepted for publication, it will be published in print and online form and it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, for commercial purposes, in any language, without the consent of the publisher. The journal takes the stance that the publication of scholarly research is meant to disseminate knowledge and, in a not-for-profit regime, benefits neither publisher nor author financially. It sees itself as having an obligation to its authors and to society to make content available online now that the technology allows for such a possibility.

Abstract

In the current paper, we present an efficient direct scheme for weakly singularVolterra integro-differential equations arising in theory of anomalous diffusion. The behav-ior of the system demonstrating the anomalous diffusion is significant for small times. Themethod is based on operational matrices of Chebyshev and Legendre polynomials with sometechniques to reduce the total errors of the already existing scheme. The proposed schemeconverts these equations into linear systems of algebraic equations. The main advantagesof the method are high accuracy, simplicity of performing, low storage requirement. Themain focus of this study is to obtain an analytical explicit expression to estimate the error. Numerical results confirm the superiority and applicability of our scheme in comparisonwith the other methods in literature.
