Abstract

 The main goals of this work are to solve the Bagley–Torvik (BT) equation using an effective scheme and to find its numerical solution. The scheme uses the collocation method based on the Müntz-Legendre (ML) wavelets. To apply the method, after approximating the unknown solution by mapping it to the wavelet space, we replace it in the desired equation and then obtain the residual using the operational matrices of the derivative and the Caputo
fractional derivative (CFD).
Applying the collocation method results in a linear algebraic system. To implement the collocation method, either Chebyshev or Legendre roots serve as collocation points, or uniformly spaced grids are used. The error analysis is investigated, and some numerical examples are presented to show the scheme’s accuracy and effectiveness. Thanks to the flexibility of ML wavelets and the method’s structure, we can sometimes obtain the exact solution.
