In this paper, two-dimensional Genocchi polynomials and the Ritz–Galerkin method were developed to investigate the Fractional Diffusion Wave Equation (FDWE) and the Fractional Klein–Gordon Equation (FKGE). A satisfier function that satisfies all the initial and boundary conditions was used. A linear system of algebraic equations was obtained for the considered equation with the help of two-dimensional Genocchi polynomials along with the Ritz–Galerkin method. The FDWE and FKGE, including the nonlinear case, were reduced to solve the linear system of the algebraic equation. Hence, the proposed method was able to greatly reduce the complexity of the problems and provide an accurate solution. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated through several examples.
