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

To find methods for solving non‐linear partial differential equations. The decomposition method may be applied, but a difficulty arises when applied to non‐linear partial differential equations with initial and boundary conditions. In this work, two methods are described that take into account the boundary conditions.

Design/methodology/approach

The decomposition method whilst being a powerful tool for solving non‐linear functional equations encounters difficulties in finding solutions of partial differential equations with boundary conditions. In this paper, two methods are introduced which consist of setting boundary conditions to the equations so that the decomposition methods can be applied.

Findings

By using the two proposed methods the decomposition method can then be easily used. In this work the two methods taking account of the boundary conditions were found to be efficient and allows a solution to be found using the Adomian decomposition method.

Research limitations/implications

The two new methods provide solutions by the application of the decomposition method of George Adomian as extended by other researchers. Both are efficient: the first giving interesting results for linear and non‐linear problems; the second one is also efficient, but difficulties could arise from the calculations of the required series.

Practical implications

The research provides two efficient methods. The first method gives the demonstrated results for linear and non‐linear problems due to the use of symbolic software such as Mathematica or Maple.

Originality/value

Both methods illustrate the powerful use of the decomposition techniques pioneered by Adomian and as a result of their application may be applied to the solving of non‐linear functional equations of any kind. This paper tackles the problems by introducing new methods of applying the Adomian techniques to partial differential equations with boundary conditions.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the circuit analysis differential equations, which play an important role in the field of electrical and electronic engineering, and it was necessary to propose a very simple and direct method to obtain approximate solutions for the linear or non-linear differential equations, which should be simple for engineers to understand.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper introduces a simple novel Maclaurin series method (MSM) to propose an approximate novel solution in the area of circuit analysis for linear and non-linear differential equations. These equations describe the alternating current circuit of the resistor–capacitor, which evaluates the effect of non-linear current resistance. Linear and non-linear differential equations are evaluated as a computational analysis to assist the research, which reveals that the MSM is incredibly simple and effective.

Findings

Simulation findings indicate that the achieved proposed solution using the novel suggested approach is identical to the exact solutions mentioned in the literature. As the Maclaurin series is available to all non-mathematicians, this paper reflects mostly on theoretical implementations of the numerous circuit problems that occur in the field of electrical engineering.

Originality/value

A very simple and efficient method has been proposed in this paper, which is very easy to understand for even non-mathematicians such as engineers. The paper introduced a method of the Maclaurin series to solve non-linear differential equations resulting from the study of the circuits. The MSM mentioned here will be a useful tool in areas of physical and engineering anywhere the problem of the circuits is studied.

Abstract

Purpose

The present critical analysis has been performed to explore the steady stagnation point flow of Jeffery fluid toward a stretching surface, in the presence of convective boundary conditions. It is assumed that the fluid strikes the wall obliquely. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for the flow field are converted to ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is operated to deal the resulting ordinary differential equations. OHAM is found to be extremely effective analytical technique to obtain convergent series solutions of highly non-linear differential equations. Graphically, non-dimensional velocities and temperature profile are expressed. Numerical values of skin friction coefficients and heat flux are computed. The comparison of results from this paper with the previous existing literature authorizes the precise accuracy of the OHAM for the limited case. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a computational technique based on Newton–Cotes quadrature rule for solving fractional order differential equation.

Design/methodology/approach

The numerical method reduces initial value problem into a system of algebraic equations. The method presented here is also applicable to non-linear differential equations. To deal with non-linear equations, a recursive sequence of approximations is developed using quasi-linearization technique.

Findings

The method is tested on several benchmark problems from the literature. Comparison shows the supremacy of proposed method in terms of robust accuracy and swift convergence. Method can work on several similar types of problems.

Originality/value

It has been demonstrated that many physical systems are modelled more accurately by fractional differential equations rather than classical differential equations. Therefore, it is vital to propose some efficient numerical method. The computational technique presented in this paper is based on Newton–Cotes quadrature rule and quasi-linearization. The key feature of the method is that it works efficiently for non-linear problems.

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.

Findings

The purpose of utilizing the new operational matrices is to make the method more efficient, because the operational matrices contains many zero entries. 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

This paper aims to present solutions of uncertain linear and non-linear shallow water wave equations. The uncertainty has been taken as interval and one-dimensional interval shallow water wave equations have been solved by homotopy perturbation method (HPM). In this study, basin depth and initial conditions have been taken as interval and the single parametric concept has been used to handle the interval uncertainty.

Design/methodology/approach

HPM has been used to solve interval shallow water wave equation with the help of single parametric concept.

Findings

Previously, few authors found solution of shallow water wave equations with crisp basin depth and initial conditions. But, in actual sense, the basin depth, as well as initial conditions, may not be found in crisp form. As such, here these are considered as uncertain in term of intervals. Hence, interval linear and non-linear shallow water wave equations are solved in this study using single parametric concept-based HPM.

Originality/value

As mentioned above, uncertainty is must in the above-titled problems due to the various parametrics involved in the governing differential equations. These uncertain parametric values may be considered as interval. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no work has been reported on the solution of uncertain shallow water wave equations. But when the interval uncertainty is involved in the above differential equation, then direct methods are not available. Accordingly, single parametric concept-based HPM has been applied in this study to handle the said problems.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to suggest a novel modified Laplace decomposition method (MLDM) for MHD flow over a non-linear stretching sheet with slip condition by suitable choice of an initial solution.

Design/methodology/approach

The governing partial differential equations are converted into dimensionless non-linear ordinary differential equation by similarity transformation, which is solved by MLDM. The method is based on the application of Laplace transform to boundary layers in fluid mechanics. The non-linear term can be easily handled by the use of He's polynomials.

Findings

The series solution of the MHD flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet subject to slip condition is obtained. An excellent agreement between the MLDM and HPM is achieved. Convergence of the obtained series solution is properly checked by using the ratio test.

Practical implications

Stretching surface is an important type of flow occurring in a number of engineering processes such as heat-treated materials travelling between a feed roll and a wind up roll, aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets, glass fiber and paper production, cooling of an infinite metallic plate in a cooling path, manufacturing of polymeric sheets are few examples of flow due to stretching surfaces. This work provides a very useful source of information for researchers on this subject.

Originality/value

Such flow analysis is even not available yet for the hydrodynamic fluid. The series solution for MHD boundary layer problem with slip condition by means of MLDM is yet not available in the literature.
