Abstract

In this paper, a meshless collocation method is considered to solve the multi-term time fractional diffusion-wave equation in two dimensions. The moving least squares reproducing kernel particle approximation is employed to construct the shape functions for spatial approximation. Also, the Caputo’s time fractional derivatives are approximated by a scheme of order O(τ 3−α), 1< α < 2. Stability and convergence of the proposed scheme are discussed. Some numerical examples are given to confirm the efficiency and reliability of the proposed method.
