The second kind Chebyshev wavelet operational matrix of fractional order integration is derived. A truncated second kind Chebyshev wavelet series together with the wavelet operational matrix is utilized to reduce the fractional integral and differential equations of Bratu-type to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The convergence and the error analysis of the method are also given. Two examples are included to verify the validity and applicability of the proposed approach.
