In this paper, an efficient numerical method is considered for solving the fractional wave equation (FWE). The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The method is based on Laguerre approximations. The properties of Laguerre polynomials are utilized to reduce FWE to a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by the finite difference method. An approximate form...

We propose and analyze a spectral Jacobi-collocation approximation for fractional order integro-differential equations of FredholmVolterra type. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. We provide a rigorous error analysis for the collection method, which shows that the errors of the approximate solution decay exponentially in L∞ norm and weighted L2-norm. The numerical examp...

A Legendre spectral collocation method is presented for the solution of the biharmonic Dirichlet problem on a square. The solution and its Laplacian are approximated using the set of basis functions suggested by Shen, which are linear combinations of Legendre polynomials. A Schur complement approach is used to reduce the resulting linear system to one involving the approximation of the Laplacia...

In this paper, we propose an iterative spectral method for solving differential equations with initial values on large intervals. In the proposed method, we first extend the Legendre wavelet suitable for large intervals, and then the Legendre-Guass collocation points of the Legendre wavelet are derived. Using this strategy, the iterative spectral method converts the differential equation to a s...

In this study, a spectral collocation domain decomposition method is developed for the numerical solution of second and fourth order problems in circular domains. The method is applied to the Navier-Stokes equations and its performance is investigated in the cases of the stream function and the stream function-vorticity formulations.

This paper gives an efficient numerical method for solving the nonlinear system of Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. A Legendre-spectral method based on the Legendre integration Gauss points and Lagrange interpolation is proposed to convert the nonlinear integral equations to a nonlinear system of equations where the solution leads to the values of unknown functions at collocation points.
