A Biorthogonal Hermite Cubic Spline Galerkin Method for Solving Fractional Riccati Equation

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the wavelet Galerkin method to solve the Fractional Riccati equation. To this end, biorthogonal Hermite cubic Spline scaling bases and their properties are introduced, and the fractional integral is represented based on these bases as an operational matrix. Firstly, we obtain the Volterra integral equation with a weakly singular kernel corresponding to the desired equation. Then, using the operational matrix of fractional integration and the Galerkin method, the corresponding integral equation is reduced to a system of algebraic equations. Solving this system via Newton’s iterative method gives the unknown solution. The convergence analysis is investigated and shows that the convergence rate is O(2−s). To demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method, some numerical simulations are provided.
