On the numerical solution of space fractional order diffusion equation via shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the third kind

Abstract

KEYWORDSSpace fractional order diffusion equation; Caputo derivative; Chebyshev collocation method; Finite difference method; Chebyshev polynomials of the third kind Abstract In this paper, we propose a numerical scheme to solve space fractional order diffusion equation. Our scheme uses shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the third kind. The fractional differential derivatives are expressed in terms of the Caputo sense. Moreover, Chebyshev collocation method together with the finite difference method are used to reduce these types of differential equations to a system of algebraic equations which can be solved numerically. Numerical approximations performed by the proposed method are presented and compared with the results obtained by other numerical methods. The results reveal that our method is a simple and effective numerical method. ª 2015 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.

Numerical solution of multiterm variable‐order fractional differential equations via shifted Legendre polynomials

“…The fractional differential equations model areal problem in life that needs a solution. Therefore, there are many different numerical methods that solve these equations, such as the predictor‐corrector method, Legendre wavelets, Legendre spectral method, Legendre collocation method, pseudo‐spectral scheme, Haar wavelet collocation method, Chebyshev spectral methods,() other techniques,() and the references therein.…”

Numerical approach for solving space fractional orderdiffusion equations using shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the fourth kind

“…Cui [11] and Geo and Sun [17] used the compact finite difference scheme. On the other hand, Sweilam et al [37,38,40,41] used the Chebyshev collocation method with finite difference method for solving fractional diffusion equations. Saaddmant and Dehghan [29][30][31] used an operational matrix.…”

On the numerical solution of Hammerstein integral equations using shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the third kind method

“…The Chebyshev polynomials V n (x) of the third kind are orthogonal polynomials of degree n in x defined on [−1, 1] [2,20].…”

“…In order to use the these polynomials on the interval [0, 1], we define the so called shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the third kind by the introducing the change of variable V (x) = 2x − 1 [20]. The shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the third kind are define as V * n (x) = V n (2x − 1).…”
