Write your integro-differential equation as
w1'=w2
w2'=w3
w3'=w4
w4'=w3*integral_{t=0}^{t=1}w2^2(t') dt'
Then discretize the interval [0:1] in n subintervals 0=t(1)<t(2)<...<t(n)=1.
Compute the derivatives as
wj'(t(i))=(wj(t(i+1))-wj(t(i)))/dt (j=1,2,3,4)
and compute the integral using the trapezoidal rule.
You'll arrive at a polynomial system (order 3) of equations for the unknowns
which can be solved by fsolve, e.g.
No chance to use ODE45 in this case.
Another way might be to use ODE45 and iteratively adjust the value of the integral, but I'm not sure whether this method will converge.
Good luck !
Best wishes
Torsten.
