In this paper, we propose and analyze Chebyshev spectral collocation approximation for highorder nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations. Under reasonable assumptions on the nonlinearity, it is shown that this numerical method converges exponentially in both L ∞-norm and L 2-norm. Numerical results of several test examples are presented and comparisons are made with some existing numerical methods to prove the superiority and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
