A new Jacobi rational-Gauss collocation method for numerical solution of generalized pantograph equations

This paper is concerned with a generalization of a functional differential equation known as the pantograph equation which contains a linear functional argument. In this article, a new spectral collocation method is applied to solve the generalized pantograph equation with variable coefficients on a semi-infinite domain. This method is based on Jacobi rational functions and Gauss quadrature integration. The Jacobi rational-Gauss method reduces solving the generalized pantograph equation to a system of algebraic equations. Reasonable numerical results are obtained by selecting few Jacobi rational-Gauss collocation points. The proposed Jacobi rational-Gauss method is favorably compared with other methods. Numerical results demonstrate its accuracy, efficiency, and versatility on the half-line.
