Abstract
Abstract To solve fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) under various physical conditions, this study developed a novel method known as the Hermite wavelet method employing the functional integration matrix. The method that has been suggested is based on the Hermite wavelet collocation process. To determine the solution of the fractional differential equations, the Caputo fractional derivative operator of order $$\alpha \in (0,1]$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∈</mml:mo> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>]</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> is used. With the use of appropriate grid points, this method converts FPDEs into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. We achieve a solution by solving these nonlinear algebraic equations by the Newton–Raphson method. Tables and graphs show that the suggested method produces superior results. We provide various illustrative examples to establish the effectiveness of the suggested concept, and the outcomes support the applicability of the suggested strategy. Obtained results are numerically expressed in terms of absolute errors. Finally, convergence analyses are discussed as some theorem with proof.
