Numerical Analysis of the Fractional-Order Nonlinear System of Volterra Integro-Differential Equations

This paper presents the nonlinear systems of Volterra-type fractional integro-differential equation solutions through a Chebyshev pseudospectral method. The proposed method is based on the Caputo fractional derivative. The results that we get show the accuracy and reliability of the present method. Different nonlinear systems have been solved; the solutions that we get are compared with other methods and the exact solution. Also, from the presented figures, it is easy to conclude that the CPM error converges quickly as compared to other methods. Comparing the exact solution and other techniques reveals that the Chebyshev pseudospectral method has a higher degree of accuracy and converges quickly towards the exact solution. Moreover, it is easy to implement the suggested method for solving fractional-order linear and nonlinear physical problems related to science and engineering.

The onset of magnetic nanofluid convection because of selective absorption of radiation

This article reports a linear stability analysis of the onset of convection stimulated by selective absorption of radiation in a horizontal layer of magnetic nanofluid (MNF) under the impact of an external magnetic field. The Chebyshev pseudospectral method is utilized to obtain the numerical solution for water-based magnetic nanofluids (MNFs). The confining boundaries of the magnetic nanofluid layer are considered to be rigid–rigid, rigid–free, and free–free. The results are derived for two different conditions, viz., when the system is heated from the below and when the system is heated from the above. It is observed that an increase in the value of the Langevin parameter , diffusivity ratio and a decrease in the value of nanofluid Lewis number , the parameter which represents the impact of selective absorption of radiation and modified diffusivity ratio delays the onset of MNF convection for both the two configurations. Moreover, as the value of concentration Rayleigh number increases, the convection commences easily when the system is heated from the below, whereas the onset of MNF convection gets delayed as the system is heated from the above.

On successive linearization method for differential equations with nonlinear conditions

This paper presents a new technique for solving linear and nonlinear boundary value problems subject to linear or nonlinear conditions. The technique is based on the blending of the Chebyshev pseudospectral method. The rapid convergence and effectiveness are verified by several linear and nonlinear examples, and results are compared with the exact solutions. Our results show a remarkable improvement in the convergence of the results when compared with exact solutions.
