Two-Dimensional Legendre Wavelets for Solving Variable-Order Fractional Nonlinear Advection-Diffusion Equation with Variable Coefficients.

This article studies a numerical scheme for solving two-dimensional variable-order time fractional nonlinear advection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients, where the variable-order fractional derivative is in the Caputo type. The main idea is expanding the solution in terms of the 2D Legendre wavelets (2D LWs) where the variable-order time fractional derivative is discretized. We describe the method using the matrix operators and then implement it for solving various types of fractional advection-diffusion equations. The experimental results show the computational efficiency of the new approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
