Abstract

In this paper, exponential Runge-Kutta methods of collocation type (ERKC) which were originally proposed in (Appl Numer Math 53:323-339, 2005) are extended to semilinear parabolic problems with time-dependent delay. Two classes of the ERKC methods are constructed and their convergence properties are analyzed. It is shown that methods with ss arbitrary nonconfluent collocation parameters achieve convergence of order ss. Provided that the collocation parameters fulfill some additional conditions and the solutions of the problems exhibit sufficient temporal and spatial smoothness, we derive superconvergence results. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
