The main idea proposed in this paper is the perturbed shifted Chebyshev Galerkin method for the solutions of delay Fredholm and Volterra integrodifferential equations. The application of the proposed method is also extended to the solutions of integro-differential difference equations. The method is validated using some selected problems from the literature. In all the problems that are considered, the new proposed approach performs better than many other methods. Manuscript profile

Adomian decomposition method and He’s variational Iteration method are applied to nonlinear oscillator problems that involve conservative type of oscillators. The methods proved to be effective for the general and specific cases due to their algorithms that admit nonlinear terms in the problems. The two methods are tested on some specific problems in the literature, and the results obtained compared favourably with those obtained via the use of Energy balance method. Manuscript profile
