Computational Methods for Differential Equations
Volume:1 Issue: 2, Autumn 2013

In this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. Then, we utilize them to solve delay differential equations and time-delay system. The method is based upon expanding various time-varying functions as their truncated hybrid functions. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity, efficiency and applicability of the method.

In this paper we introduce a type of fractional-order polynomials based on the classical Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind (FCSs). Also we construct the operational matrix of fractional derivative of order $ gamma $ in the Caputo for FCSs and show that this matrix with the Tau method are utilized to reduce the solution of some fractional-order differential equations.

This paper has been devoted to apply the Reconstruction of Variational Iteration Method (RVIM) to handle the systems of integro-differential equations. RVIM has been induced with Laplace transform from the variational iteration method (VIM) which was developed from the Inokuti method. Actually, RVIM overcome to shortcoming of VIM method to determine the Lagrange multiplier. So that, RVIM method provides rapidly convergent successive approximations to the exact solution. The advantage of the RVIM in comparison with other methods is the simplicity of the computation without any restrictive assumptions. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the procedure. Comparison with the homotopy perturbation method has also been pointed out.

In this article, we prove the existence of extremal positive solution for the distributed order fractional hybrid differential equation$$int_{0}^{1}b(q)D^{q}[frac{x(t)}{f(t,x(t))}]dq=g(t,x(t)),$$using a fixed point theorem in the Banach algebras. This proof is given in two cases of the continuous and discontinuous function $g$, under the generalized Lipschitz and Caratheodory conditions.
