The purpose of the paper is to extend the differential quadrature method (DQM) for solving time and space fractional non-linear partial differential equations on a semi-infinite domain.

The proposed method is the combination of the Legendre polynomials and differential quadrature method. The authors derived and constructed the new operational matrices for the fractional derivatives, which are used for the solutions of non-linear time and space fractional partial differential equations.

The fractional derivative of Lagrange polynomial is a big hurdle in classical DQM. To overcome this problem, the authors represent the Lagrange polynomial in terms of shifted Legendre polynomial. They construct a transformation matrix which transforms the Lagrange polynomial into shifted Legendre polynomial of arbitrary order. Then, they obtain the new weighting coefficients matrices for space fractional derivatives by shifted Legendre polynomials and use these in conversion of a non-linear fractional partial differential equation into a system of fractional ordinary differential equations. Convergence analysis for the proposed method is also discussed.

Many engineers can use the presented method for solving their time and space fractional non-linear partial differential equation models. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the differential quadrature method has never been extended or implemented for non-linear time and space fractional partial differential equations.

In this article, the aim is to obtain an approximate analytical solution of time‐fraction generalized Hirota‐Satsuma coupled KDV with the help of the two dimensional differential transformation method (DTM). Exact solutions can also be obtained from the known forms of the series solutions.

Two dimensional differential transformation method (DTM) is used.

In this paper, the fractional differential transformation method is implemented to the solution of time‐fraction generalized generalized Hirota‐Satsuma coupled KDV with a number of initial and boundary values has been proved. DTM can be applied to many complicated linear and strongly nonlinear partial differential equations and does not require linearization, discretization, restrictive assumptions or perturbation. The presented method is a numerical method based on the generalised Taylor series expansion which constructs an analytical solution in the form of a polynomial.

This paper employs a hybrid numerical method combining the differential transformation method (DTM) and the finite difference method (FDM) to study the bifurcation and nonlinear behavior of a rigid rotor supported by a relative short gas lubricated journal bearing system with herringbone grooves. The analysis reveals a complex dynamic behavior comprising periodic, subharmonic and quasi‐periodic responses of the rotor center. The dynamic behavior of the bearing system varies with changes in the rotor mass and bearing number. The current analytical results are found to be in good agreement with those of other numerical methods. This paper discusses these issues.

In this paper, DT is used to deal Reynolds equation and is also one of the most widely used techniques for solving differential equations due to its rapid convergence rate and minimal calculation error. A further advantage of this method over the integral transformation approach is its ability to solve nonlinear differential equations. In solving the Reynolds equation for the current gas bearing system, DTM is used for taking transformation with respect to the time domain τ, and then the FDM is adopted to discretize with respect to the directions of coordinates.

From the Poincaré maps of the rotor center as calculated by the DTM&FDM method with different values of the time step, it can be seen that the rotor center orbits are in agreement to approximately four decimal places for the different time steps. The numerical studies also compare the results obtained by the SOR&FDM and DTM&FDM methods for the orbits of the rotor center. It is observed that the results calculated by DTM&FDM are more accurately than SOR&FDM. Therefore, the DTM&FDM method suits this gas bearing system and provides better convergence than SOR&FDM method.

This study utilizes a hybrid numerical scheme comprising the DTM and the FDM to analyze nonlinear dynamic behavior of a relative short gas lubricated journal bearing system with herringbone grooves. The system state trajectory, phase portraits, the Poincaré maps, the power spectra, and the bifurcation diagrams reveal the presence of a complex dynamic behavior comprising periodic, subharmonic and quasi‐periodic responses of the rotor center. Therefore, the proposed method provides an effective means of gaining insights into the nonlinear dynamics of relative short gas lubricated journal bearing systems with herringbone grooves.

Some examples are given to illustrate the ability and reliability of the modified differential transform method for solving fractional oscillators.

The main conclusion is that the proposed method is a good way for solving such problems. The results are compared with those obtained by the fourth‐order Runge‐Kutta method. It is shown that the results reveal that the modified differential transform method in many instances gives better results.

Differential Transformation Method (DTM) is used to obtain a complete analytic solution for the velocity and temperature fields and the effects of different governing parameters on these fields are discussed through the graphs.

The obtained results showed that by adding a magnetic field to this system, transverse velocity component reduces between the two plates. Also as the Prandtl number increases, in presence of viscous dissipation, the temperature between the two plates enhances while an opposite behavior is observed when the viscous dissipation is negligible.

This study aims to derive a novel spatial numerical method based on multidimensional local Taylor series representations for solving high-order advection-diffusion (AD) equations.

The parabolic AD equations are reduced to the nonhomogeneous elliptic system of partial differential equations by utilizing the Chebyshev spectral collocation method (ChSCM) in the temporal variable. The implicit-explicit local differential transform method (IELDTM) is constructed over two- and three-dimensional meshes using continuity equations of the neighbor representations with either explicit or implicit forms in related directions. The IELDTM yields an overdetermined or underdetermined system of algebraic equations solved in the least square sense.

The IELDTM has proven to have excellent convergence properties by experimentally illustrating both h-refinement and p-refinement outcomes. A distinctive feature of the IELDTM over the existing numerical techniques is optimizing the local spatial degrees of freedom. It has been proven that the IELDTM provides more accurate results with far fewer degrees of freedom than the finite difference, finite element and spectral methods.

This study shows the derivation, applicability and performance of the IELDTM for solving 2D and 3D advection-diffusion equations. It has been demonstrated that the IELDTM can be a competitive numerical method for addressing high-space dimensional-parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in various fields of science and engineering. The novel ChSCM-IELDTM hybridization has been proven to have distinct advantages, such as continuous utilization of time integration and optimized formulation of spatial approximations. Furthermore, the novel ChSCM-IELDTM hybridization can be adapted to address various other types of PDEs by modifying the theoretical derivation accordingly.

The purpose of this paper is to use the generalized differential transform method (GDTM) and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving time‐fractional Burgers and coupled Burgers equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense.

In these schemes, the solutions takes the form of a convergent series. In GDTM, the differential equation and related initial conditions are transformed into a recurrence relation that finally leads to the solution of a system of algebraic equations as coefficients of a power series solution. HPM requires a homotopy with an embedding parameter which is considered as a small parameter.
