Two-dimensional wavelets collocation method for electromagnetic waves in dielectric media

In this article, we deal with a numerical wavelet collocation method (NWCM) using a technique based on two-dimensional wavelets (TDWs) approximation proposed for the fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) for electromagnetic waves in dielectric media (EWDM). By implementing the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, TDWs approximation and its operational matrix along with collocation method are utilized to reduce FPDEs firstly into weakly singular fractional partial integro-differential equations (FPIDEs) and then reduced weakly singular FPIDEs into system of algebraic equation. Using Legendre wavelet approximation (LWA) and Chebyshev wavelet approximation (CWA), we investigated the convergence analysis and error analysis of the proposed problem. Finally, some examples are included for demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed method via LWA and CWA respectively. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
