Abstract

Purpose

In this article, the authors aims to introduce a novel Vieta–Lucas wavelets method by generalizing the Vieta–Lucas polynomials for the numerical solutions of fractional linear and non-linear delay differential equations on semi-infinite interval.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors have worked on the development of the operational matrices for the Vieta–Lucas wavelets and their Riemann–Liouville fractional integral, and these matrices are successfully utilized for the solution of fractional linear and non-linear delay differential equations on semi-infinite interval. The method which authors have introduced in the current paper utilizes the operational matrices of Vieta–Lucas wavelets to converts the fractional delay differential equations (FDDEs) into a system of algebraic equations. For non-linear FDDE, the authors utilize the quasilinearization technique in conjunction with the Vieta–Lucas wavelets method.

Authors have worked out on both error and convergence analysis of the present method. Procedure of implementation for FDDE is also provided. Furthermore, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the reliability and accuracy of the method.

Originality/value

Many engineers or scientist can utilize the present method for solving their ordinary or Caputo–fractional differential models. To the best of authors’ knowledge, the present work has not been used or introduced for the considered type of differential equations.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel approach based on the high-order matrix derivative of the Bernstein basis and collocation method and its employment to solve an interesting and ill-posed model in the heat conduction problems, homogeneous backward heat conduction problem (BHCP).

Abstract

Purpose

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.

Design/methodology/approach

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.

Findings

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.

Originality/value

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.

Abstract

Purpose

Recently, a new formulation has been introduced for non-local mechanics in terms of fractional calculus. Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies the differential operators of an arbitrary (real or complex) order and is used successfully in various fields such as mathematics, science and engineering. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new fractional non-local theory which may be applicable in various simple or complex mechanical problems.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper (by using fractional calculus), a fractional non-local theory based on the conformable fractional derivative (CFD) definition is presented, which is a generalized form of the Eringen non-local theory (ENT). The theory contains two free parameters: the fractional parameter which controls the stress gradient order in the constitutive relation and could be an integer and a non-integer and the non-local parameter to consider the small-scale effect in the micron and the sub-micron scales. The non-linear governing equation is solved by the Galerkin and the parameter expansion methods. The non-linearity of the governing equation is due to the presence of von-Kármán non-linearity and CFD definition.

Findings

The theory has been used to study linear and non-linear free vibration of the simply-supported (S-S) and the clamped-free (C-F) nano beams and then the influence of the fractional and the non-local parameters has been shown on the linear and non-linear frequency ratio.

Originality/value

A new parameter of the theory (the fractional parameter) makes the modeling more fixable – this model can conclude all of integer and non-integer operators and is not limited to special operators such as ENT. In other words, it allows us to use more sophisticated mathematics to model physical phenomena. On the other hand, in the comparison of classic fractional non-local theory, the theory applicable in various simple or complex mechanical problems may be used because of simpler forms of the governing equation owing to the use of CFD definition.
