Operational Matrix Method

A numerical method for solving a class of fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients based on Legendre polynomials is proposed. A fractional order operational matrix of Legendre polynomials is also derived. The initial equations are transformed into the products of several matrixes by using the operational matrix. A system of linear equations is obtained by dispersing the coefficients and the products of matrixes. Only a small number of Legendre polynomials are needed to acquire a satisfactory result. Results obtained using the scheme presented here show that the numerical method is very effective and convenient for solving fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients.

In this chapter, the authors discuss the effectiveness of the invariant subspace method (ISM) for solving fractional partial differential equations. For this purpose, they have chosen a nonlinear time fractional partial differential equation (PDE) with variable coefficients to be investigated through this method. One-, two-, and three-dimensional invariant subspace classifications have been performed for this equation. Some new exact solutions have been obtained using the ISM. Also, the authors give a comparison between this method and the homogeneous balance principle (HBP).

In this paper, we introduce a series solution to a class of hyperbolic system of time-fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients. The fractional derivative has been considered by the concept of Caputo. Two expansions of matrix functions are proposed and used to create series solutions for the target problem. The first one is a fractional Laurent series, and the second is a fractional power series. A new approach, via the residual power series method and the Laplace transform, is also used to find the coefficients of the series solution. In order to test our proposed method, we discuss four interesting and important applications. Numerical results are given to authenticate the efficiency and accuracy of our method and to test the validity of our obtained results. Moreover, solution surface graphs are plotted to illustrate the effect of fractional derivative arrangement on the behavior of the solution.

We implement relatively analytical methods, the homotopy perturbation method and the variational iteration method, for solving singular fractional partial differential equations of fractional order. The process of the methods which produce solutions in terms of convergent series is explained. The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo sense. Some examples are given to show the accurate and easily implemented of these methods even with the presence of singularities.

Purpose This paper aims to suggest the approximate solution of time fractional heat-like and wave-like (TFH-L and W-L) equations with variable coefficients. The proposed scheme shows that the results are very close to the exact solution. Design/methodology/approach First with the help of some basic properties of fractional derivatives, a scheme that has the capability to solve fractional partial differential equations is constructed. Then, TFH-L and W-L equations with variable coefficients are solved by this scheme, which yields results very close to the exact solution. The derived results demonstrate that this scheme is very effective. Finally, the convergence of this method is discussed. Findings A traditional method is combined with the Laplace transform to construct this scheme. To decompose the nonlinear terms, this paper introduces the homotopy perturbation method with He’s polynomials and thus the solution is provided in the form of a series that converges to the exact solution very quickly. Originality/value The proposed approach is original and very effective because this approach is, to the authors’ knowledge, used for the first time very successfully to tackle the fractional partial differential equations, which are of great interest.
