In this paper, a class of variable-order fractional convection diffusion equations have been solved with assistance of the second kind Chebyshev wavelets operational matrix. The operational matrix of variable-order fractional derivative is derived for the second kind Chebyshev wavelets. By implementing the second kind Chebyshev wavelets functions and also the associated operational matrix, the considered equations will be reduced to the corresponding Sylvester equation, which can be solved by some appropriate iterative solvers. Also, the convergence analysis of the proposed numerical method to the exact solutions and error estimation are given. A variety of numerical examples are considered to show the efficiency and accuracy of the presented technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present an iterative method based on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS) for solving the continuous Sylvester equation. By using the HSS of the coefficient matricesAandB, we establish a method which is practically inner/outer iterations, by employing a conjugate gradient on the normal equations (CGNR)-like method as inner iteration to approximate each outer iterate, while each outer iteration is induced by a convergent splitting of the coefficient matrices. Via this method, a Sylvester equation with coefficient matricesand(which are the skew-Hermitian part ofAandB, respectively) is solved iteratively by a CGNR-like method. Convergence conditions of this method are studied and numerical examples show the efficiency of this method. In addition, we show that the quasi-Hermitian splitting can induce accurate, robust and effective preconditioned Krylov subspace methods. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
