Due to the presence of singularity, these problems raise difficulties in obtaining their analytic or numerical solutions, and various schemes have been proposed to overcome these difficulties. However, among existing approaches, the Sinc methods are well-suited for handling singularity and have high performance on boundary value problems (BVPs) such as problems on unbounded domains or problems with endpoint singularities. In this work, in several geometries and kinetics, an implementation of the Sinc-Galerkin scheme is used to approximate effectiveness factor and concentration profile of key component when a single independent reaction takes place in a porous catalyst structure where enzymes are immobilized. A comparison between the proposed approximated solution and numerical solution reveals that the Sinc-Galerkin method (SGM), as demonstrated with examples, is reliable, accurate and its convergence rate is high.

A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. This method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference scheme. The method is computationally attractive and applications are demonstrated through an illustrative example. Also a comparison is made with existing results.

Design/methodology/approach The paper applied a collocation approach based on rational Legendre functions for solving the third-order non-linear boundary value problem, describing the MHD boundary layer flow of an UCM fluid over a porous isothermal stretching sheet. This method solves the problem on the semi-infinite domain without transforming domain of the problem to a finite domain. Findings This approach reduces the solution of a problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The numerical values of the skin friction coefficient are presented and analyzed for various parameters of interest in the problem. The authors also compare the results of this work with some recent results and show that the new method is efficient and applicable. Originality/value The method solves this problem without use of discrete variables and linearization or small perturbation. Also it was confirmed by the theorem and figure of absolute coefficients that this approach has exponentially convergence rate.

Here, we use the Chebyshev polynomials combined with the idea of the collocation method for converting the distributed order fractional differential equation into a system of linear/nonlinear algebraic equations. Also, fractional differential equations with initial conditions can be solved by the present method. We also give the error bound of the modified equation for the present method. Moreover, four numerical tests are included to show the effectiveness and applicability of the suggested method.

This operational matrix is applied for solving some problems such as distributed-order fractional differential equations, distributed-order time-fractional diffusion equations and distributed-order time-fractional wave equations. Our approach easily reduces the solution of all these problems to the solution of some set of algebraic equations. We also discuss the error analysis of approximation distributed-order fractional derivative by using this operational matrix. Finally, to illustrate the efficiency and validity of the presented technique five examples are given.

Some results on approximations using the Hermite functions on finite interval are obtained from corresponding approximations on infinite interval via a conformal map. To illustrate the potential of the new basis, we apply it to the collocation method for solving a class of singular two-point boundary value problems. The numerical results show that our new scheme is very effective and convenient for solving singular boundary value problems.

In this paper, two numerical techniques based on rational Legendre functions and Chebyshev polynomials are presented for solving the flow of a third-grade fluid in a porous half space. This problem can be reduced to a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem on semi-infinite interval. Our methods are utilized to reduce the computation of this problem to some algebraic equations. The comparison of the results with the other methods and residual norm show very good accuracy and rate of convergence of our approach.

Based on this method, a scheme is developed to obtain approximation solution of fractional wave, Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), KdV-Burgers, and Klein-Gordon equations with initial conditions, which are introduced by replacing some integer-order time derivatives by fractional derivatives. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. So the homotopy analysis method for partial differential equations of integer order is directly extended to derive explicit and numerical solutions of the fractional partial differential equations. The solutions are calculated in the form of convergent series with easily computable components. The results of applying this procedure to the studied cases show the high accuracy and efficiency of the new technique.

As a result new methods and techniques should be developed in order to deal with new types of fractional differential equations. In this paper the operational matrix of fractional derivative together with the τ method are used to solve the linear systems of fractional differential equations. The results of this method are shown by solving three illustrative examples. By comparing the obtained results with the analytic solutions and with the ones provided by three standard methods for solving the fractional differential equations we conclude that our method gave comparable results.
