Abstract

In the present research, a quartic B-spline method is used for the solution of time-fractional telegraph
equations. In the rst step the Caputo fractional derivative is applied to the time-fractional telegraph
equation combined with nite di erence for time discretization, which reduces the problem to algebraic
equations, which are solved. Finally, the numerical method proposed is demonstrated to be stable
without any conditions by using the Fourier method. The error norms L2 and L1 are calculated in
order to test accuracy. The two tested examples exhibited the obtained results that the method is an
effective numerical scheme to solve fractional equations.
