Abstract

Purpose

In the past few years, Haar wavelet-based numerical methods have been applied successfully to solve linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. This study aims to propose a wavelet collocation method based on Haar wavelets to identify a parameter in parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). As Haar wavelet is defined in a very simple way, implementation of the Haar wavelet method becomes easier than the other numerical methods such as finite element method and spectral method. The computational time taken by this method is very less because Haar matrices and Haar integral matrices are stored once and used for each iteration. In the case of Haar wavelet method, Dirichlet boundary conditions are incorporated automatically. Apart from this property, Haar wavelets are compactly supported orthonormal functions. These properties lead to a huge reduction in the computational cost of the method.

Design/methodology/approach

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the source control parameter arises in quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation using Haar wavelet-based numerical method. Haar wavelets possess various properties, for example, compact support, orthonormality and closed form expression. The main difficulty with the Haar wavelet is its discontinuity. Therefore, this paper cannot directly use the Haar wavelet to solve partial differential equations. To handle this difficulty, this paper represents the highest-order derivative in terms of Haar wavelet series and using successive integration this study obtains the required term appearing in the problem. Taylor series expansion is used to obtain the second-order partial derivatives at collocation points.

Findings

An efficient and accurate numerical method based on Haar wavelet has been proposed for parameter identification in quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations. Numerical results are obtained from the proposed method and compared with the existing results obtained from various finite difference methods including Saulyev method. It is shown that the proposed method is superior than the conventional finite difference methods including Saulyev method in terms of accuracy and CPU time. Convergence analysis is presented to show the accuracy of the proposed method. An efficient algorithm is proposed to find the wavelet coefficients at target time.

Originality/value

The outcome of the paper would have a valuable role in the scientific community for several reasons. In the current scenario, the parabolic inverse problem has emerged as very important problem because of its application in many diverse fields such as tomography, chemical diffusion, thermoelectricity and control theory. In this paper, higher-order derivative is represented in terms of Haar wavelet series. In other words, we represent the solution in multiscale framework. This would enable us to understand the solution at various resolution levels. In the case of Haar wavelet, this paper can achieve a very good accuracy at very less resolution levels, which ultimately leads to huge reduction in the computational cost.

Abstract

Purpose

The main purpose of this work is to develop a novel algorithm based on Scale-3 Haar wavelets (S-3 HW) and quasilinearization for numerical simulation of dynamical system of ordinary differential equations.

Design/methodology/approach

The first step in the development of the algorithm is quasilinearization process to linearize the problem, and then Scale-3 Haar wavelets are used for space discretization. Finally, the obtained system is solved by Gauss elimination method.

Findings

Some numerical examples of fractional dynamical system are considered to check the accuracy of the algorithm. Numerical results show that quasilinearization with Scale-3 Haar wavelet converges fast even for small number of collocation points as compared of classical Scale-2 Haar wavelet (S-2 HW) method. The convergence analysis of the proposed algorithm has been shown that as we increase the resolution level of Scale-3 Haar wavelet error goes to zero rapidly.

Originality/value

To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that new Haar wavelets Scale-3 have been used in fractional system. A new scheme is developed for dynamical system based on new Scale-3 Haar wavelets. These wavelets take less time than Scale-2 Haar wavelets. This approach extends the idea of Jiwari (2015, 2012) via translation and dilation of Haar function at Scale-3.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose an efficient computational technique, which uses Haar wavelets collocation approach coupled with the Newton-Raphson method and solves the following class of system of Lane–Emden equations:

(tk1y(t))=tω1f1(t,y(t),z(t)),
(tk2z(t))=tω2f2(t,y(t),z(t)),
where t > 0, subject to the following initial values, boundary values and four-point boundary values:
y(0)=γ1, y(0)=0, z(0)=γ2, z(0)=0,
y(0)=0, y(1)=δ1, z(0)=0, z(1)=δ2,
y(0)=0, y(1)=n1z(v1), z(0)=0, z(1)=n2y(v2),
where n1,n2,v1,v2(0,1) and k10,k20,ω1<1,ω2<1, γ1, γ2, δ1, δ2 are real constants.

Design/methodology/approach

To deal with singularity, Haar wavelets are used, and to deal with the nonlinear system of equations that arise during computation, the Newton-Raphson method is used. The convergence of these methods is also established and the results are compared with existing techniques.

Findings

The authors propose three methods based on uniform Haar wavelets approximation coupled with the Newton-Raphson method. The authors obtain quadratic convergence for the Haar wavelets collocation method. Test problems are solved to validate various computational aspects of the Haar wavelets approach. The authors observe that with only a few spatial divisions the authors can obtain highly accurate solutions for both initial value problems and boundary value problems.

Originality/value

The results presented in this paper do not exist in the literature. The system of nonlinear singular differential equations is not easy to handle as they are singular, as well as nonlinear. To the best of the knowledge, these are the first results for a system of nonlinear singular differential equations, by using the Haar wavelets collocation approach coupled with the Newton-Raphson method. The results developed in this paper can be used to solve problems arising in different branches of science and engineering.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is the comparative analysis of Haar Wavelet Method and Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method for fractional Fisher type equation. In this paper, two reliable techniques, Haar wavelet method and optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM), have been presented. The Haar wavelet method is an efficient numerical method for the numerical solution of fractional order partial differential equation like the Fisher type. The approximate solutions of the fractional Fisher-type equation are compared with those of OHAM and with the exact solutions. Comparisons between the obtained solutions with the exact solutions exhibit that both the featured methods are effective and efficient in solving nonlinear problems. However, the results indicate that OHAM provides more accurate value than the Haar wavelet method.

Design/methodology/approach

Comparisons between the solutions obtained by the Haar wavelet method and OHAM with the exact solutions exhibit that both featured methods are effective and efficient in solving nonlinear problems.

Findings

The comparative results indicate that OHAM provides a more accurate value than the Haar wavelet method.

Originality/value

In this paper, two reliable techniques, the Haar wavelet method and OHAM, have been proposed for solving nonlinear fractional partial differential equation, i.e. fractional Fisher-type equation. The proposed novel methods are well suited for only nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. It also exhibits that the proposed method is a very efficient and powerful technique in finding the solutions for the nonlinear time fractional differential equations. The main significance of the proposed method is that it requires less amount of computational overhead in comparison to other numerical and analytical approximate methods. The application of the proposed methods for the solutions of time fractional Fisher-type equations satisfactorily justifies its simplicity and efficiency.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to identify significant factors of environmental variables and pollutants that have an effect on PM2.5 through wavelet and regression analysis.

Design/methodology/approach

In order to provide stable data set for regression analysis, multiresolution analysis using wavelets is conducted. For the sampled data, multicollinearity among the independent variables is removed by using principal component analysis and multiple linear regression analysis is conducted using PM2.5 as a dependent variable.

Findings

It is found that few pollutants such as NO2, NOx, SO2, benzene and environmental factors such as ambient temperature, solar radiation and wind direction affect PM2.5. The regression model developed has high R2 value of 91.9 percent, and the residues are stationary and not correlated indicating a sound model.

Research limitations/implications

The research provides a framework for extracting stationary data and other important features such as change points in mean and variance, using the sample data for regression analysis. The work needs to be extended across all areas in India and for various other stationary data sets there can be different factors affecting PM2.5.

Practical implications

Control measures such as control charts can be implemented for significant factors.

Social implications

Rules and regulations can be made more stringent on the factors.

Originality/value

The originality of this paper lies in the integration of wavelets with regression analysis for air pollution data.

The purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for approximate solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for approximate solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, an algorithm based on the Haar wavelets operational matrix for computational modelling of nonlinear hyperbolic type wave equations has been developed. These types of equations describe a variety of physical models in nonlinear optics, relativistic quantum mechanics, solitons and condensed matter physics, interaction of solitons in collision-less plasma and solid-state physics, etc. The algorithm reduces the equations into a system of algebraic equations and then the system is solved by the Gauss-elimination procedure. Some well-known hyperbolic-type wave problems are considered as numerical problems to check the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The numerical results are shown in figures and Linf, RMS and L2 error forms.

Findings

The developed algorithm is used to find the computational modelling of nonlinear hyperbolic-type wave equations. The algorithm is well suited for some well-known wave equations.

Originality/value

This paper extends the idea of one dimensional Haar wavelets algorithms (Jiwari, 2015, 2012; Pandit et al., 2015; Kumar and Pandit, 2014, 2015) for two-dimensional hyperbolic problems and the idea of this algorithm is quite different from the idea for elliptic problems (Lepik, 2011; Shi et al., 2012). Second, the algorithm and error analysis are new for two-dimensional hyperbolic-type problems.
