We consider the numerical solution of boundary value problems for general neutral functional differential equations by the collocation method. The collocation method can be applied in two versions: the finite element method and the spectral element method. We give convergence results for the collocation method deduced by the convergence theory developed in [S. Maset, Numer.

Abstract: | We consider the numerical solution of boundary value problems for general neutral functional differential equations by the collocation method. The collocation method can be applied in two versions: the finite element method and the spectral element method. We give convergence results for the collocation method deduced by the convergence theory developed in [S. Maset, Numer.
