SOLUTION of VARIABLE-ORDER NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS USING HAAR WAVELET COLLOCATION TECHNIQUE

A numerical method for the solution of nonlinear variable-order (VO) fractional differential equations (FDEs) is proposed in this paper. To determine the numerical solution of nonlinear VO FDEs, we used the Haar wavelet collocation method (HWCM) with a combination of Caputo fractional derivatives. For checking the efficiency of the HWCM, some examples are given. The maximum absolute error and mean square root errors of each test problem are computed for a different number of collocation points (CPs) to check the validity and applicability of the presented technique. The comparison of the exact and approximate solution is shown in figures for various numbers of CPs.
