Pell Collocation Approach for the Nonlinear Pantograph Differential Equations

Pantograph equations, which we encounter in the branches of pure and applied mathematics such as electrodynamics, control systems and quantum mechanics, are essentially a particular form of the functional differential equations characterized with proportional delays. This study focuses on exploring the approximate solution to the Pantograph differential equation. Since there is no analytic solutions for this equation class, only the approximate solutions can be obtain. For this purpose, Pell Collocation Method which is one of the numerical solution methods is chosen. As the result of applying the method to the equation, an algebraic equation system has been gained and then the approximate solution has been found by using MATHEMATICA via the given initial conditions. The method is applied to the some test examples and then the results are presented by both graphically and by table. The error estimations show that the method works accurately and efficiently.
