Abstract

In this paper, a  fuzzy numerical procedure for solving fuzzy linear Volterra integro-differential
 equations of the second kind under strong  generalized differentiability is designed. Unlike the existing numerical methods, we do not replace the original fuzzy equation by a $2\times 2$ system of
crisp equations, that is the main difference between our method  and other numerical methods.
Error analysis and numerical examples are given to show the convergency and efficiency of the
proposed method, respectively.
