A numerical method is presented to obtain the approximate solutions of the fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs). The basic idea of this method is to achieve the approximate solutions in a generalized expansion form of two-dimensional fractional-order Legendre functions (2D-FLFs). The operational matrices of integration and derivative for 2D-FLFs are first derived. Then, by these matrices, a system of algebraic equations is obtained from FPDEs. Hence, by solving this system, the unknown 2D-FLFs coefficients can be computed. Three examples are discussed to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of two-dimensional flows in a rectangular meandering channel. The technique of boundary-fitted coordinate system is used to overcome the difficulties resulting from the complicated shape of natural river boundaries; the method of physical fractional steps is used to solve the partial differential equations in the transformed plane. Comparison between computed and experimental data shows a satisfactory agreement.

Abstract This paper considers two categories of fractional-order population growth models, where a time component is defined by Riemann–Liouville derivatives. These models are studied under the Lie symmetry approach, and we reduce the fractional partial differential equations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Subsequently, solutions of the latter are determined numerically or with the aid of Laplace transforms. Graphical representations for integral and trigonometric solutions are presented. A key feature of these models is the connection between spatial patterning of organisms versus competitive coexistence.
