In this article, the second kind Chebyshev wavelet method is presented for solving a class of multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs) with variable coefficients. We first construct the second kind Chebyshev wavelet, prove its convergence and then derive the operational matrix of fractional integration of the second kind Chebyshev wavelet. The operational matrix of fractional integration is utilized to reduce the fractional differential equations to a system of algebraic equations. In addition, illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
