Abstract
In this paper, we present a fractional spectral collocation method for solving a class of weakly singular Volterra integro-differential equations (VDIEs) with proportional delays and cordial operators. Assuming the underlying solutions are in a specific function space, we derive error estimates in the $L^2_{ω^{α,β,λ}}$ and $L^{\infty}$-norms. A rigorous proof reveals that the numerical errors decay exponentially with the appropriate selections of parameters $λ$. Subsequently, numerical experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the method.
