TY - EJOU AU - Li, Baofeng TI - The Second Kind Chebyshev Wavelet Method for Fractional Differential Equations with Variable Coefficients T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2013 VL - 93 IS - 3 SN - 1526-1506 AB - 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.
