Numerical solutions for linear ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients using Haar wavelet method

Abstract

Recently, wavelet analysis or wavelet transform has been developed as a mathematical instrument for many problems. In the present paper, the numerical technique is based on Haar wavelet collocation points and operational matrices over a new interval [-ϑ,ϑ]. So, we have established a new operational matrix of integration the Haar wavelets functions for a chosen domain from -ϑ to 0. The operational matrices of integration and product are utilized to convert the linear ordinary differential equations together with variable coefficients into algebraic matrix equation which can be resolved by MATLAB. Three numerical examples have been displayed which involving first order differential equations including variable coefficients. The results illustrate that the suggested approach is completely reasonable in comparison with correct solution. Moreover, the exactness of the variable can be enhanced by increasing the Haar wavelets resolution.
