Bivariate Chebyshev polynomials of the fifth kind for variable-order time-fractional partial integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernel

Abstract

Abstract The shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the fifth kind (SCPFK) and the collocation method are employed to achieve approximate solutions of a category of the functional equations, namely variable-order time-fractional weakly singular partial integro-differential equations (VTFWSPIDEs). A pseudo-operational matrix (POM) approach is developed for the numerical solution of the problem under study. The suggested method changes solving the VTFWSPIDE into the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations. Error bounds of the approximate solutions are obtained, and the application of the proposed scheme is examined on five problems. The results confirm the applicability and high accuracy of the method for the numerical solution of fractional singular partial integro-differential equations.
