Abstract

The numerical techniques are regarded as the backbone of modern research. In literature, the exact solution of time delay differential models are hardly achievable or impossible. Therefore, numerical techniques are the only way to find their solution. In this article, a novel numerical technique known as Legendre spectral collocation method is used for the approximate solution of time delay differential system. Legendre spectral collocation method and their properties are applied to determined the general procedure for solving time delay differential system with detail error and convergence analysis. The method first convert the proposed system to a system of ordinary differential equations and then apply the Legendre polynomials to solve the resultant system efficiently. Finally, some numerical test problems are given to confirm the efficiency of the method and were compared with other available numerical schemes in the literature.
