In this paper, a modified algorithm is proposed for solving linear integro-differential equations of the second kind. The main idea is based on applying Romberg extrapolation algorithm (REA), on Trapezoidal rule. In accordance with the computational perspective, the comparison has shown that Adomian decomposition approach is more effective to be utilized. The numerical results show that the modified algorithm has been successfully applied to the linear integro-differential equations and the comparisons with some existing methods appeared in the literature reveal that the modified algorithm is more accurate and convenient.


Introduction
Mathematical modelling of real-life problems usually results in functional equations, such as differential, integral, and integro-differential equations.Many mathematical formulations of physical phenomena reduced to integro-differential equations, like fluid dynamics, biological models and chemical kinetics [1] [2] [3].
The numerical solution of integro-differential equation is a part of numerical analysis, which has been changed by the ongoing revolution in numerical methods.With the development of technology, useful methods are evolving for full utilization of the inherent powers of high speed and large memory computing machine.Many significant methods were discovered to approximate the solution of linear integro-differential equations, such as the Improved Bessel collocation method [4], the Legendre wavelets method [5], the finite element method [6], the Tau method [7], Euler polynomials [8], Sherman-Morrison formula [9], the Adomian's decomposition method [10] [11], the Cas wavelet [12], the homotopy perturbation method [13], the Variational iteration method [14] [15] [16], the comined Laplace transform and the Adomian decomposition methods [17], the Sinc method [18] [19], the Galerkin method [20], Romberg extrapolation [21], the Chebyshev polynomial approach [22] [23], Lagrange Interpolation [24], and many mathematicians still search to get strong methods and powerful techniques to solve problems in integro-differential equations.
Without loss of generality, the linear Fredholmintegro differential equation of the second kind was considered.
where, α is a real constant.Some authors studied the numerical solution of the nonlinear integro-differential equations by the Adomian decomposition method and compared it with the variational iteration method [14] [15] [16].Therefore, results show that the variation iteration method (VIM) has been successfully employed to obtain the approximate analytical solutions of the nonlinear integro-differential equations.
Others solve it through a comparison of the Adomian decomposition method and the wavelet-Galerkin method [20].From the computational view point, the comparison shows that the Adomian decomposition method is more efficient and easy to use.

In [22] [23], the Chebyshev polynomial was used to approximate the solution of integral equations, system of higher-order linear Fredholm-Volterra integro-differential equations, and integro-differential equations.The main idea of their techniques based on transforming these equations to a system of algebraic equations.They showed that the method has some major advantages: Chebyshev coefficients of the solution are found very easily and this process is very fast.An interesting feature of the method obtained analytical solution in many cases.
Many studies have indicated the variational iteration method to solve the linear and nonlinear integro differential equations (Volterra, Fredholm) [3] [14] [15] [16] [17].They applied the variational iteration method to approximate the solutions of the integro-differential equations.The results show that this method is very effective with low computation time.Also, some authors concluded that the method can be used to find exact solution for some cases.
M. T. Rashed [24] computed the solution of the integro-differential equation numerically by using the Lagrange interpolation.It is being concluded that the method is the very rapid convergence, and successfully treated Volterra type and Fredholm type without any difficulties.In this paper, the solutions of the linear integro-differential equations of different types are studied, analyzed and implemented using a modified algorithm based on the Romberg extrapolation techniques.
Jaradat et al.

The Modified Algorithm
In this section, the chosen algorithm is introduced for the solution of Fredholm integro-differential equation of the second kind.First, the Trapezoidal rule is applied to approximate the integral and the finite difference to approximate the derivative in (1), and then Romberg extrapolation is applied to increase the accuracy of the solution.
The numerical setting and the approximation of the integral for the Volterra Equation (1) will result in the coefficient matrix of the linear system of equations being a lower triangular one, which is exactly due to the variable upper limit x of the integration in (1), because in this equation the kernel ( ) as the integrand can be considered identically zero above it is upper limit of integration x.So, for the discrete case ( ) > is used.Then the system of linear equations with such a natural triangular coefficient matrix can be solved easily.
To use Trapezoidal rule the interval of integration ( ) , a x has been partitioned into n equally spaced subintervals of width , 1, where n x is the end point chosen for x; set t 0 = a should be set and Then the approximation of the integral in the integro-differential Equation ( 1) is given by, where, , , 1 ., Replace n by 2 n m = , then (4) becomes, which is called R(n, 0).Then Romberge algorithm (REA) R k,j can be applied, where, , , , 1 4 1 Now, substitute Equation ( 6) in (1), thus obtain, If n values of ( ) ( ) , , For simplicity Equation ( 9) becomes, The finite difference formula is applied, in Equation (10) to get the following equation In matrix notation, Equation (11) transform into the following system of linear equations:
