This paper focuses on the approximate solutions of the higher order fractional differential equations with multi terms by the help of Hermite Collocation method (HCM). This new method is an adaptation of Taylor's collocation method in terms of truncated Hermite Series. With this method, the differential equation is transformed into an algebraic equation and the unknowns of the equation are the coefficients of the Hermite series solution of the problem. This method appears as a useful tool for solving fractional differential equations with variable coefficients. To show the pertinent feature of the proposed method, we test the accuracy of the method with some illustrative examples and check the error bounds for numerical calculations.

AbstractIn this paper a new way to compute analytic approximate polynomial solutions for a class of nonlinear variable order fractional differential equations is proposed, based on the Polynomial Least Squares Method (PLSM). In order to emphasize the accuracy and the efficiency of the method several examples are included.

The operational matrices of fractional-order integration for the Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets are derived. Block pulse functions and collocation method are employed to derive a general procedure for forming these matrices for both the Legendre and the Chebyshev wavelets. Then numerical methods based on wavelet expansion and these operational matrices are proposed. In this proposed method, by a change of variables, the multiorder fractional differential equations (MOFDEs) with nonhomogeneous initial conditions are transformed to the MOFDEs with homogeneous initial conditions to obtain suitable numerical solution of these problems. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of the numerical scheme based on the Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets.

By fractional generalised Boussinesq equations we mean equations of the form \begin{equation} \Delta\equiv D_{t}^{2\alpha}-[\mathcal{N}(u)]_{xx}-u_{xxxx}=0, \: 0<\alpha\le1,\label{main}\nonumber \end{equation} where $\mathcal{N}(u)$ is a differentiable function and $\mathcal{N}_{uu}\ne0$ (to ensure nonlinearity). In this paper we lay emphasis on the cubic Boussinesq and Boussinesq-like equations of fractional order and we apply the Laplace homotopy analysis method (LHAM) for their rational and solitary wave solutions respectively. It is true that nonlinear fractional differential equations are often difficult to solve for their {\em exact} solutions and this single reason has prompted researchers over the years to come up with different methods and approach for their {\em analytic approximate} solutions. Most of these methods require huge computations which are sometimes complicated and a very good knowledge of computer aided softwares (CAS) are usually needed. To bridge this gap, we propose a method that requires no linearization, perturbation or any particularly restrictive assumption that can be easily used to solve strongly nonlinear fractional differential equations by hand and simple computer computations with a very quick run time. For the closed form solution, we set $\alpha =1$ for each of the solutions and our results coincides with those of others in the literature.
