Operational Tau method for nonlinear multi-order FDEs

Abstract

This paper presents an operational formulation of the Tau method based upon orthogonal polynomials by using a reduced set of matrix operations for the numerical solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations(FDEs). The main characteristic behind the approach using this technique is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of non-linear algebraic equations. Some numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method.
