High-Order Chebyshev Pseudospectral Tempered Fractional Operational Matrices and Tempered Fractional Differential Problems

Abstract

This paper focuses on presenting an accurate, stable, efficient, and fast pseudospectral method to solve tempered fractional differential equations (TFDEs) in both spatial and temporal dimensions. We employ the Chebyshev interpolating polynomial for g at Gauss–Lobatto (GL) points in the range [−1,1] and any identically shifted range. The proposed method carries with it a recast of the TFDE into integration formulas to take advantage of the adaptation of the integral operators, hence avoiding the ill-conditioning and reduction in the convergence rate of integer differential operators. Via various tempered fractional differential applications, the present technique shows many advantages; for instance, spectral accuracy, a much higher rate of running, fewer computational hurdles and programming, calculating the tempered-derivative/integral of fractional order, and its spectral accuracy in comparison with other competitive numerical schemes. The study includes stability and convergence analyses and the elapsed times taken to construct the collocation matrices and obtain the numerical solutions, as well as a numerical examination of the produced condition number κ(A) of the resulting linear systems. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are studied from the standpoint of the L2 and L∞-norms error and the fast rate of spectral convergence.
