Neutral functional equation including scalar differential-difference equation, determining sufficient conditions for zero solution
The theory of consistent step-by-step methods for solving Volterra integral equations is extended to nonsingular Volterra integro-differential equations. It is shown that standard step-by-step algorithms for these more general equations are convergent. Several numerical examples are included.

A new method for the solution of non-linear partial differential equations by an ADI procedure is described. Although the method is second order accurate in time, it does not require either iterations or predictor corrector methods to overcome the nonlinearity of the equations. Thus the computational effort required for the solution of the non-linear problem becomes similar to that required for the linear case. The method is applied to a two-dimensional 'extended Burgers equation'. Linear stability is studied, and some numerical solutions obtained. The improved accuracy obtained by the 2nd order truncation error is clearly manifested.
The relationship between the eigenvalues of the linearized differential equations of orbital mechanics and the stability characteristics of numerical methods is presented. It is shown that the Cowell, Encke, and Encke formulation with an independent variable related to the eccentric anomaly all have a real positive eigenvalue when linearized about the initial conditions. The real positive eigenvalue causes an amplification of the error of the solution when used in conjunction with a numerical integration method. In contrast an element formulation has zero eigenvalues and is numerically stable.
This paper provides a solution to the fundamental linear fractional order differential equation, namely, (sub c)d(sup q, sub t) + ax(t) = bu(t). The impulse response solution is shown to be a series, named the F-function, which generalizes the normal exponential function. The F-function provides the basis for a qth order "fractional pole". Complex plane behavior is elucidated and a simple example, the inductor terminated semi- infinite lossy line, is used to demonstrate the theory.
