Legendre wavelets approach for numerical solutions of distributed order fractional differential equations

In this study, a new numerical method for the solution of the linear and nonlinear distributed fractional differential equations is introduced. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The suggested framework is based upon Legendre wavelets approximations. For the first time, an exact formula for the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator for the Legendre wavelets is derived. We then use this formula and the properties of Legendre wavelets to reduce the given problem into a system of algebraic equations. Several illustrative examples are included to observe the validity, effectiveness and accuracy of the present numerical method.     

Numerical solution of two-dimensional time fractional cable equation with Mittag-Leffler kernel

The main motive of this article is to study the recently developed Atangana-Baleanu Caputo (ABC) fractional operator that is obtained by replacing the classical singular kernel by Mittag-Leffler kernel in the definition of the fractional differential operator. We investigate a novel numerical method for the nonlinear two-dimensional cable equation in which time-fractional derivative is of Mittag-Leffler kernel type. First, we derive an approximation formula of the fractional-order ABC derivative of a function t^k using a numerical integration scheme. Using this approximation formula and some properties of shifted Legendre polynomials, we derived the operational matrix of ABC derivative. In the author of knowledge, this operational matrix of ABC derivative is derived the first time. We have shown the efficiency of this newly derived operational matrix by taking one example. Then we solved a new class of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) by the implementation of this ABC operational matrix. The two-dimensional model of the time-fractional model of the cable equation is solved and investigated by this method. We have shown the effectiveness and validity of our proposed method by giving the solution of some numerical examples of the two-dimensional fractional cable equation. We compare our obtained numerical results with the analytical results, and we conclude that our proposed numerical method is feasible and the accuracy can be seen by error tables. We see that the accuracy is so good. This method will be very useful to investigate a different type of model that have Mittag-Leffler fractional derivative.     

Gegenbauer spectral method for time‐fractional convection–diffusion equations with variable coefficients

In this paper, we study the numerical solution to time‐fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients that involve temporal Caputo derivative. A spectral method based on Gegenbauer polynomials is taken for approximating the solution of the given time‐fractional partial differential equation in time and a collocation method in space. The suggested method reduces this type of equation to the solution of a linear algebraic system. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The construction of operational matrix of fractional derivatives using B-spline functions

Fractional calculus has been used to model physical and engineering processes that are found to be best described by fractional differential equations. For that reason we need a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of fractional differential equations. Here we construct the operational matrix of fractional derivative of order α in the Caputo sense using the linear B-spline functions. The main characteristic behind the approach using this technique is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations thus we can solve directly the problem. The method is applied to solve two types of fractional differential equations, linear and nonlinear. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new technique presented in the current paper.

This paper studies the variation of constant formulae for linear Caputo fractional delay differential systems. We discuss the exponential estimates of the solutions for linear time invariant fractional delay differential systems by using the Gronwall＇s integral inequality. The variation of constant formula for linear time invariant fractional delay differential systems is obtained by using the Laplace transform method. In terms of the superposition principle of linear systems and fundamental solution matrix, we also establish the variation of constant formula for linear time varying fractional delay differential systems. The obtained results generalize the corresponding ones of integer-order delayed differential equations.

A new Jacobi operational matrix: An application for solving fractional differential equations

In this paper, we derived the shifted Jacobi operational matrix (JOM) of fractional derivatives which is applied together with spectral tau method for numerical solution of general linear multi-term fractional differential equations (FDEs). A new approach implementing shifted Jacobi operational matrix in combination with the shifted Jacobi collocation technique is introduced for the numerical solution of nonlinear multi-term FDEs. The main characteristic behind this approach is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations which greatly simplifying the problem. The proposed methods are applied for solving linear and nonlinear multi-term FDEs subject to initial or boundary conditions, and the exact solutions are obtained for some tested problems. Special attention is given to the comparison of the numerical results obtained by the new algorithm with those found by other known methods.

Numerical solution of fractional differential equations with a Tau method based on Legendre and Bernstein polynomials

In this paper, we state and prove a new formula expressing explicitly the integratives of Bernstein polynomials (or B‐polynomials) of any degree and for any fractional‐order in terms of B‐polynomials themselves. We derive the transformation matrices that map the Bernstein and Legendre forms of a degree‐n polynomial on [0,1] into each other. By using their transformation matrices, we derive the operational matrices of integration and product of the Bernstein polynomials. These matrices together with the Tau method are then utilized to reduce the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The method is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional differential equations. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Obtained results from mathematical experiments are in full agreement with the results obtained by other methods. Furthermore, according to the results obtained we can conclude that the proposed method is efficient, reliable and easy to be implemented on related many problems in real-life science and engineering.     

Numerical solutions of distributed order fractional differential equations in the time domain using the Müntz–Legendre wavelets approach

In this paper, a numerical method is presented to obtain and analyze the behavior of numerical solutions of distributed order fractional differential equations of the general form in the time domain with the Caputo fractional derivative. The suggested method is based on the Müntz–Legendre wavelet approximation. We derive a new operational vector for the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral of the Müntz–Legendre wavelets by using the Laplace transform method. Applying this operational vector and collocation method in our approach, the problem can be reduced to a system of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations. The arising system can be solved by the Newton method. Discussion on the error bound and convergence analysis for the proposed method is presented. Finally, seven test problems are considered to compare our results with other well‐known methods used for solving these problems. The results in the tabulated tables highlighted that the proposed method is an efficient mathematical tool for analyzing distributed order fractional differential equations of the general form.     

A numerical technique for solving fractional variational problems

This paper presents an accurate numerical method for solving a class of fractional variational problems (FVPs). The fractional derivative in these problems is in the Caputo sense. The proposed method is called fractional Chebyshev finite difference method. In this technique, we approximate FVPs and end up with a finite‐dimensional problem. The method is based on the combination of the useful properties of Chebyshev polynomials approximation and finite difference method. The Caputo fractional derivative is replaced by a difference quotient and the integral by a finite sum. The fractional derivative approximation using Clenshaw and Curtis formula introduced here, along with Clenshaw and Curtis procedure for the numerical integration of a non‐singular functions and the Rayleigh–Ritz method for the constrained extremum, is considered. By this method, the given problem is reduced to the problem for solving a system of algebraic equations, and by solving this system, we obtain the solution of FVPs. Special attention is given to study the convergence analysis and evaluate an error upper bound of the obtained approximate formula. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed technique. A comparison with another method is given. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

New predictor‐corrector scheme for solving nonlinear differential equations with Caputo‐Fabrizio operator

In this paper, we develop a new, simple, and accurate scheme to obtain approximate solution for nonlinear differential equation in the sense of Caputo‐Fabrizio operator. To derive this new predictor‐corrector scheme, which suits on Caputo‐Fabrizio operator, firstly, we obtain the corresponding initial value problem for the differential equation in the Caputo‐Fabrizio sense. Hence, by fractional Euler method and fractional trapeziodal rule, we obtain the predictor formula as well as corrector formula. Error analysis for this new method is derived. To test the validity and simplicity of this method, some illustrative examples for nonlinear differential equations are solved.     

Solutions to BSDEs driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions

The backward stochastic differential equations driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions (or, in short, SFBSDE) are studied. A Wick-Itô stochastic integral for a fractional Brownian motion is adopted. The fractional Itô formula for the standard and fractional Brownian motions is provided. Introducing the concept of the quasi-conditional expectation, we study some its properties. Using the quasi-conditional expectation, we also discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions to general SFBSDEs, where a fixed point principle is employed. Moreover, solutions to linear SFBSDEs are investigated. Finally, an explicit solution to a class of linear SFBSDEs is found.     

Extension of the Kalman–Bucy Filter to Elementary Linear Systems with Fractional Brownian Noises

We investigate the optimal filtering problem in the simplest Gaussian linear system driven by fractional Brownian motions. At first we extend to this setting the Kalman–Bucy filtering equations which are well-known in the specific case of usual Brownian motions. Closed form Volterra type integral equations are derived both for the mean of the optimal filter and the variance of the filtering error. Then the asymptotic stability of the filter is analyzed. It is shown that the variance of the filtering error converges to a finite limit as the observation time tends to infinity. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
