Two Schemes Based on the Collocation Method Using Müntz–Legendre Wavelets for Solving the Fractional Bratu Equation

Abstract

Our goal in this work is to solve the fractional Bratu equation, where the fractional derivative is of the Caputo type. As we know, the nonlinearity and derivative of the fractional type are two challenging subjects in solving various equations. In this paper, two approaches based on the collocation method using Müntz–Legendre wavelets are introduced and implemented to solve the desired equation. Three different types of collocation points are utilized, including Legendre and Chebyshev nodes, as well as uniform meshes. According to the experimental observations, we can confirm that the presented schemes efficiently solve the equation and yield superior results compared to other existing methods. Also, the schemes are convergent.
