Direct Method for Variational Problems Using Boubaker Wavelets

Abstract

The wavelets have many applications in engineering and the sciences, especially mathematics. Recently, in 2021, the wavelet Boubaker (WB) polynomials were used for the first time to study their properties and applications in detail. They were also utilized for solving the Lane-Emden equation. The aim of this paper is to show the truncated Wavelet Boubaker polynomials for solving variation problems. In this research, the direct method using wavelets Boubaker was presented for solving variational problems. The method reduces the problem into a set of linear algebraic equations. The fundamental idea of this method for solving variation problems is to convert the problem of a function into one that involves a finite number of variables. Different numerical examples were given to demonstrate the applicability and validity of this method using the Matlab program. Also, the results of this technique were compared with the exact solution, and graphs were added to these examples to test the convergence of Wavelet Boubaker polynomials using this method.
