Solving nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations of fractional order by using Euler wavelet method

Abstract

In this paper, a wavelet numerical method for solving nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations of fractional order is presented. The method is based upon Euler wavelet approximations. The Euler wavelet is first presented and an operational matrix of fractional-order integration is derived. By using the operational matrix, the nonlinear fractional integro-differential equations are reduced to a system of algebraic equations which is solved through known numerical algorithms. Also, various types of solutions, with smooth, non-smooth, and even singular behavior have been considered. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.
