AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">A class of numerical methods is developed for second order
Volterra integro-differential equations by using
a Legendre spectral approach. We provide a rigorous error analysis
for the proposed methods, which shows that the numerical errors
decay exponentially in the $L^\infty$-norm and $L^2$-norm.
Numerical examples illustrate the convergence and effectiveness of
the numerical methods.</p>
