In this paper, numerical solutions of Riccati and fractional Riccati differential equations are obtained by the Haar wavelet collocation method. An operational matrix of integration based on the Haar wavelet is established, and the procedure for applying the matrix to solve these equations. The fundamental idea of Haar wavelet method is to convert the proposed differential equations into a group of non-linear algebraic equations. The accuracy of approximate solution can be further improved by increasing the level of resolution and an error analysis is computed. The examples are given to demonstrate the fast and flexibility of the method. The results obtained are in good agreement with the exact in comparison with existing ones and it is shown that the technique introduced here is robust, easy to apply and is not only enough accurate but also quite stable.

Abstract In this paper a general method for the analysis of multidimensional second-order dynamic systems with periodically varying parameters is presented. The state vector and the periodic matrices appearing in the equations are expanded in Chebyshev polynomials over the principal period and the original differential problem is reduced to a set of linear algebraic equations. The technique is suitable for constructing either numerical or approximate analytical solutions. As an illustrative example, approximate analytical expressions for the Floquet characteristic exponents of Mathieu’s equation are obtained. Stability charts are drawn to compare the results the proposed method with those obtained by Runge-Kutta and perturbation methods. Numerical solutions for the flap-lag motion of a three blade helicopter rotor are constructed in the next example. The numerical accuracy and efficiency of the proposed technique is compared with standard numerical codes based on Runge-Kutta, Adams-Moulton and Gear algorithms. The results obtained in the both examples indicate that the suggested approach extremely accurate and is by far the most efficient one.

The numerical solutions to a non-linear Fractional Fokker–Planck (FFP) equation are studied estimating the generalized diffusion coefficients. The aim is to model anomalous diffusion using an FFP description with fractional velocity derivatives and Langevin dynamics where Lévy fluctuations are introduced to model the effect of non-local transport due to fractional diffusion in velocity space. Distribution functions are found using numerical means for varying degrees of fractionality of the stable Lévy distribution as solutions to the FFP equation. The statistical properties of the distribution functions are assessed by a generalized normalized expectation measure and entropy and modified transport coefficient. The transport coefficient significantly increases with decreasing fractality which is corroborated by analysis of experimental data.

A numerical method for solving a class of heat conduction equations with variable coefficients in one dimensional space is demonstrated. This method combines the Crank-Nicolson and Monte Carlo methods. Using Crank-Nicolson method, the governing equations are discretized into a large sparse system of linear algebraic equations, which are solved by Monte Carlo method. To illustrate the usefulness of this technique, we apply it to two problems. Numerical results show the performance of the present work.

A spectral collocation approach is constructed to solve a class of time-fractional stochastic heat equations (TFSHEs) driven by Brownian motion. Stochastic differential equations with additive noise have an important role in explaining some symmetry phenomena such as symmetry breaking in molecular vibrations. Finding the exact solution of such equations is difficult in many cases. Thus, a collocation method based on sixth-kind Chebyshev polynomials (SKCPs) is introduced to assess their numerical solutions. This collocation approach reduces the considered problem to a system of linear algebraic equations. The convergence and error analysis of the suggested scheme are investigated. In the end, numerical results and the order of convergence are evaluated for some numerical test problems to illustrate the efficiency and robustness of the presented method.

Purpose In the past few years, Haar wavelet-based numerical methods have been applied successfully to solve linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. This study aims to propose a wavelet collocation method based on Haar wavelets to identify a parameter in parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). As Haar wavelet is defined in a very simple way, implementation of the Haar wavelet method becomes easier than the other numerical methods such as finite element method and spectral method. The computational time taken by this method is very less because Haar matrices and Haar integral matrices are stored once and used for each iteration. In the case of Haar wavelet method, Dirichlet boundary conditions are incorporated automatically. Apart from this property, Haar wavelets are compactly supported orthonormal functions. These properties lead to a huge reduction in the computational cost of the method. Design/methodology/approach The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the source control parameter arises in quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation using Haar wavelet-based numerical method. Haar wavelets possess various properties, for example, compact support, orthonormality and closed form expression. The main difficulty with the Haar wavelet is its discontinuity. Therefore, this paper cannot directly use the Haar wavelet to solve partial differential equations. To handle this difficulty, this paper represents the highest-order derivative in terms of Haar wavelet series and using successive integration this study obtains the required term appearing in the problem. Taylor series expansion is used to obtain the second-order partial derivatives at collocation points. Findings An efficient and accurate numerical method based on Haar wavelet has been proposed for parameter identification in quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations. Numerical results are obtained from the proposed method and compared with the existing results obtained from various finite difference methods including Saulyev method. It is shown that the proposed method is superior than the conventional finite difference methods including Saulyev method in terms of accuracy and CPU time. Convergence analysis is presented to show the accuracy of the proposed method. An efficient algorithm is proposed to find the wavelet coefficients at target time. Originality/value The outcome of the paper would have a valuable role in the scientific community for several reasons. In the current scenario, the parabolic inverse problem has emerged as very important problem because of its application in many diverse fields such as tomography, chemical diffusion, thermoelectricity and control theory. In this paper, higher-order derivative is represented in terms of Haar wavelet series. In other words, we represent the solution in multiscale framework. This would enable us to understand the solution at various resolution levels. In the case of Haar wavelet, this paper can achieve a very good accuracy at very less resolution levels, which ultimately leads to huge reduction in the computational cost.

Abstract This paper presents formulations, computations and investigations of the solutions of classes C00 and C11 for two dimensional viscoelastic fluid flows in u, v, p, τijp, τijs with Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) constitutive model using p-version least squares finite element formulation (LSFEF). The main thrust of the research work presented in the paper is to employ ‘right classes of interpolations’ and the ‘best computational strategy’ 1) to obtain numerical solutions of governing differential equations (GDEs) for increasing Deborah numbers 2) investigate the nature of the computed solutions with the aim of establishing limiting values of the flow parameters beyond which the solutions may be possible to compute, but may not be meaningful. The investigations presented in this paper reveal the following: a) The manner in which the stresses are non-dimensionalized significantly influences the performance of the iterative procedure of solving non-linear algebraic equations. b) Solutions of the class C00 are always the wrong class of solutions of GDEs in variables u, v, p, τijp and τijs and thus spurious. c) C11 class of solutions are the right class of solutions of the GDEs in variables u, v, p, τijp and τijs. d) In the flow domains, containing sharp gradients of the dependent variables, conservation of mass is difficult to achieve at lower p-levels (worse for coarse meshes). e) An augmented form of GDEs are proposed that always ensure conservation of mass at all p-levels regardless of the mesh and the nature of the solution gradients. f) Stick-slip problem is used as a model problem. We demonstrate that converged solutions are possible to compute for all flow rates reported and that the detailed examination of the solution characteristics reveals them to be in agreement with all the physics of the flow, g) Numerical studies with graded meshes and high p-levels presented in this paper are aimed towards establishing and demonstrating detail behavior of local as well as global nature of the computed solutions, h) Various norms are proposed and tested to judge local and global dominance of elasticity or viscous behavior i) New definitions are proposed for elongational (extensional) viscosity. The proposed definitions are more in conformity and agreement with the flow physics compared to currently used definitions j) A significant aspect and strength of our work is that we utilize straightforward p-version LSFEF with C00 and C11 type interpolations without linearizing GDEs and that SUPG, SUPG/DC, SUPG/DC/LS operators are neither needed nor used.
