The explicit finite-difference method for solving variable order fractional space-time wave equation with a nonlinear source term is considered.The concept of variable order fractional derivative is considered in the sense of Caputo.The stability analysis and the truncation error of the method are discussed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, some numerical test examples are presen...

Abstract: In this paper, we studied the numerical solution of a time-fractional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with new generalized fractional derivative proposed recently. The fractional derivative employed in this paper was defined in Caputo sense and contained a scale function and a weight function. A finite difference/collocation scheme based on Jacobi–Gauss–Lobatto (JGL) nodes was applie...
