In this article, a class of fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) are solved using a direct method. We present a new operational matrix of the fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo based on the B-spline functions. Then we reduce the solution of fractional optimal control problem to a nonlinear programming (NLP) one, where some existing well-developed algorithms may be applied. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the presented technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we solve a class of fractional optimal control problems in the sense of Caputo derivative using Genocchi polynomials. At first we present some properties of these polynomials and we make the Genocchi operational matrix for Caputo fractional derivatives. Then using them, we solve the problem by converting it to a system of algebraic equations. Some examples are presented to show the effciency and accuracy of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An effective method based upon cardinal Hermite interpolant multiscaling functions is proposed for the solution of the one-dimensional parabolic partial differential equation with given initial condition and known boundary conditions and subject to overspecification at a point in the spatial domain. The properties of multiscaling functions are first presented. These properties together with a collocation method are then utilized to reduce the parabolic inverse problem to the solution of algebraic equations. The scheme described is efficient. The numerical results obtained using the present algorithms for test problems show that this method can solve the model effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes new effective methods for analysis of time-varying delay systems using new hybrid functions. The excellent properties of the hybrid functions which consist of block pulse functions and biorthogonal multiscaling functions are presented. We utilise operational matrices of product, delay and integration to reduce the solution of delay systems to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main aim of this paper is to introduce the operational matrices of integral and fractional integral using the flatlet oblique multiwavelets. The operational matrices of integral and fractional integrals for flatlet scaling functions and wavelets are presented and are utilized to reduce the solution of the Abel integral equations of the first and the second kinds to the solution of algebraic equations. The main characteristic behind our approach in using this technique is that only a small number of flatlet oblique multiwavelets is needed to obtain a satisfactory result. Illustrative examples reveal that the present method is very effective and convenient. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper is concerned with the construction of biorthogonal multiwavelet basis in the unit interval to form a biorthogonal flatlet multiwavelet system. Next a method to calculate integer and fractional derivatives of the dual flatlet multiwavelets by multiplying some matrices is suggested. The system is then used to solve a fractional convection–diffusion equation. The biorthogonality and high vanishing moments properties of this system result in efficient and accurate solutions. Finally, numerical results for some test problems with known solutions are presented and the absolute errors are compared with the errors resulting from the other bases. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
