Numerical solutions to initial and boundary value problems for linear fractional partial differential equations

Abstract In this article, Haar wavelets have been employed to obtain solutions of boundary value problems for linear fractional partial differential equations. The differential equations are reduced to Sylvester matrix equations. The algorithm is novel in the sense that it effectively incorporates the aperiodic boundary conditions. Several examples with numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the simplicity and effectiveness of the method.
