Bernoulli wavelet operational matrix of fractional order integration and its applications in solving the fractional order differential equations

Abstract

In this paper, a new numerical method for solving fractional differential equations is presented. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The method is based upon Bernoulli wavelet approximations. The Bernoulli wavelet is first presented. An operational matrix of fractional order integration is derived and is utilized to reduce the initial and boundary value problems to system of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.
