This paper aims to present an efficient and convenient numerical algorithm for space-time fractional differential equations of the Fokker–Planck type. Design/methodology/approach The main idea of the presented algorithm is to combine polynomials function approximation and fractional differential operator matrices to reduce the studied complex equations to easily solved algebraic equations. Findings Based on Taylor basis, simple and useful fractional differential operator matrices of alternative Legendre polynomials can be quickly obtained, by which the studied space-time fractional partial differential equations can be transformed into easily solved algebraic equations. Numerical examples and error date are presented to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of this technique. Originality/value Various numerical methods are proposed in complex steps and are computationally expensive. However, the advantage of this paper is its convenient technique, i.e. using the simple fractional differential operator matrices of polynomials, numerical solutions can be quickly obtained in high precision.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a computational technique based on Newton–Cotes quadrature rule for solving fractional order differential equation. Design/methodology/approach The numerical method reduces initial value problem into a system of algebraic equations. The method presented here is also applicable to non-linear differential equations. To deal with non-linear equations, a recursive sequence of approximations is developed using quasi-linearization technique. Findings The method is tested on several benchmark problems from the literature. Comparison shows the supremacy of proposed method in terms of robust accuracy and swift convergence. Method can work on several similar types of problems. Originality/value It has been demonstrated that many physical systems are modelled more accurately by fractional differential equations rather than classical differential equations. Therefore, it is vital to propose some efficient numerical method. The computational technique presented in this paper is based on Newton–Cotes quadrature rule and quasi-linearization. The key feature of the method is that it works efficiently for non-linear problems.

AbstractIn this work, we propose a new operational method based on a Genocchi wavelet-like basis to obtain the numerical solutions of non-linear fractional order differential equations (NFDEs). To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a Genocchi wavelet-like basis is presented. The Genocchi wavelet-like operational matrix of a fractional derivative is derived through waveletpolynomial transformation. These operational matrices are used together with the collocation method to turn the NFDEs into a system of non-linear algebraic equations. Error estimates are shown and some illustrative examples are given in order to demonstrate the accuracy and simplicity of the proposed technique.

At present, the theory of fractional calculus is widely used in many fields of science for modeling various processes. Differential equations with fractional derivatives are used to model the migration of pollutants in porous inhomogeneous media and allow a more correct description of the behavior of pollutants at large distances from the source. The analytical solution of differential equations with fractional order derivatives is often very complicated or even impossible. There has been proposed a numerical method for solving fractional differential equations in partial derivatives with respect to time to describe the migration of pollutants in groundwater. An implicit difference scheme is developed for the numerical solution of a non-stationary fractional differential equation, which is an analogue of the well-known implicit Crank-Nicholson difference scheme. The system of difference equations is presented in matrix form. The solution of the problem is reduced to the multiple solution of a tridiagonal system of linear algebraic equations by the tridiagonal matrix algorithm. The results of evaluating the spread of pollutant in groundwater based on the numerical method for model examples are presented. The concentrations of the substance obtained on the basis of the analytical and numerical solutions of the unsteady one-dimensional fractional differential equation are compared. The results obtained using the proposed method and on the basis of the well-known analytical solution of the fractional differential equation are in fairly good agreement with each other. The relative error is on average 9%. In contrast to the well-known analytical solution, the developed numerical method can be used to model the spread of pollutants in groundwater, taking into account their biodegradation.

This paper presents an efficient numerical method for solving the distributed fractional differential equations (FDEs). The suggested framework is based on a hybrid of block-pulse functions and Taylor polynomials. For the first time, the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator for the hybrid of block-pulse functions and Taylor polynomials has been derived directly and without any approximations. By taking into account the property of this operator, the problem under consideration is converted into a system of algebraic equations. The present method can be applied to both linear and nonlinear distributed FDEs. Easy implementation, simple operations, and accurate solutions are the essential features of the proposed hybrid functions. Illustrative examples are examined to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the developed approximation technique, and a comparison is made with the existing results.
