In this paper we propose a relatively new semi-analytical technique to approximate the solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs). We present some results concerning to the uniqueness of solution of nonlinear multi-order FDEs and discuss the existence of solution for nonlinear multi-order FDEs in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). We further give an error analysis for the proposed technique in different reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and present some useful results. The accuracy of the proposed technique is examined by comparing with the exact solution of some test examples.

In the present article, a numerical method is proposed for the numerical solution of the KdV equation by using a new approach by combining cubic B-spline functions. In this paper we convert the KdV equation to system of two equations. The method is shown to be unconditionally stable using von-Neumann technique. To test accuracy the error norms L2, L∞ are computed. Three invariants of motion are predestined to determine the preservation properties of the problem, and the numerical scheme leads to careful and active results. Furthermore, interaction of two and three solitary waves is shown. These results show that the technique introduced here is easy to apply.

In this paper, we will present a review of the multistep collocation method for Delay Volterra Integral Equations (DVIEs) from [1] and then, we study the superconvergence analysis of the multistep collocation method for DVIEs. Some numerical examples are given to confirm our theoretical results.

In this paper, we consider the construction of a new class of numerical methods based on the backward differentiation formulas (BDFs) that be equipped by including two off--step points. We represent these methods from general linear methods (GLMs) point of view which provides an easy process to improve their stability properties and implementation in a variable stepsize mode. These superiorities are confirmed by the numerical examples.

In this paper, an efficient method for solving optimal control problems of the linear differential systems with inequality constraint is proposed. By using new adjustment of hat basis functions and their operational matrices of integration, optimal control problem is reduced to an optimization problem. Also, the error analysis of the proposed method is nvestigated and it is proved that the order of convergence is O(h4). Finally, numerical examples affirm the efficiency of the proposed method.

In this paper, a numerical solution based on Haar wavelet quasilinearization (HWQ) is used for finding the solution of nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations which arise from the problems in calculus of variations. Some examples of variational problems are given and outcomes compared with exact solutions to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.
