This paper introduces a new numerical approach to solving a system of fractional differential equations (FDEs) using the Legendre wavelet operational matrix method (LWOMM). We first formulated the operational matrix of fractional derivatives in some special conditions using some notable characteristics of Legendre wavelets and shifted Legendre polynomials. Then, the system of fractional differential equations was transformed into a system of algebraic equations by using these operational matrices. At the end of this paper, several examples are presented to illustrate the effectivity and correctness of the proposed approach. Comparing the methodology with several recognized methods demonstrates that the advantages of the Legendre wavelet operational matrix method are its accuracy and the understandability of the calculations.

This paper proposes a new technique which rests upon Legendre wavelets for solving linear and non-linear forms of fractional order initial and boundary value problems. In some particular circumstances, a new operational matrix of fractional derivative is generated by utilizing some significant properties of wavelets and orthogonal polynomials. We approached the solution in a finite series with respect to Legendre wavelets and then by using these operational matrices, we reduced the fractional differential equations into a system of algebraic equations. Finally, the introduced technique is tested on several illustrative examples. The obtained results demonstrate that this technique is a very impressive and applicable mathematical tool for solving fractional differential equations.

In this paper, the Legendre wavelet operational matrix method has been introduced for solving high-order linear and non-linear multi-point: initial and boundary value problems. It has been suggested that the technique is rest upon practical application of the operational matrix and its derivatives. The differential equation is presented that it is converted to a system of algebraic equations via the properties of Legendre wavelet together with the operational matrix method. As a result of this study, the scheme has been tested on five linear and non-linear problems. The results have demonstrated that this method is a very effective and advantageous tool in solving such problems.
