Innovative Method for Computing Approximate Solutions of Non-Homogeneous Wave Equations with Generalized Fractional Derivatives

Abstract

In this work, a well-known non-homogeneous wave equation with temporal fractional derivative is approximately investigated. A recently defined generalized non-local fractional derivative is utilized as the fractional operator. A novel technique is proposed to approximate the solutions of wave equation with generalized fractional derivative. The proposed method is based on the shifted Chebyshev polynomials and a combination of collocation and residual function methods. Theoretical analysis of the convergence of the proposed method is performed. Approximate solutions are derived in both rectangular and non-rectangular (general) domains.
