Numerical solution of variable fractional order advection‐dispersion equation using Bernoulli wavelet method and new operational matrix of fractional order derivative

Abstract

In this article, the Bernoulli wavelet method is used to solve the space‐time variable fractional order advection‐dispersion equation. The equation contains Coimbra time fractional derivatives with variable order of γ1false(xfalse) as well as the Riemann‐Liouville space fractional derivatives with variable orders of γ2false(x,tfalse) and γ3false(x,tfalse). In fact, first, using the new operational matrices, we study the relationship between Bernoulli wavelets and piecewise functions. Then, according to the properties of piecewise functions and computing operational matrices of their fractional derivatives, we obtain operational matrices of the Bernoulli wavelet fractional derivatives. Using new operational matrices furnished from Caputo and Riemann‐Liouville and also suitable collocation points, the advection‐dispersion equation would be converted to a system of algebraic equations. Then, we would solve the equation numerically by utilizing a common method. Finally, the upper bound of the errors of the defined operational matrices and convergence analysis of the proposed method would be discussed. We would also reveal high accuracy of the method using some numerical samples.

Modified wavelet method for solving fractional variational problems

“…Recently, the applications of various wavelets have emerged in analyzing problems of high computational complexity. Typical examples are the Haar wavelet (HW) method for solving the Riccati differential equation (Li et al, 2014), Bernoulli wavelet method (BWM) for the solution of problems in calculus of variations (Keshavarz et al, 2019) and for the solution of variable fractional-order advection–dispersion equation (Soltanpour Moghadam et al, 2020), Genocchi wavelet method for different kinds of fractional-order differential equations with delay (Dehestani et al, 2019), Chebyshev cardinal wavelets in solving nonlinear stochastic differential equations (Heydari et al, 2018), HW and Adams–Bashforth–Moulton methods for solving fractional Lotka–Volterra population model (Kumar et al, 2020), and so on.…”
