Description
Summary:In this study, a spectral collocation method is proposed to solve a multi-term time fractional diffusion-wave equation. The solution is expanded by a series of generalized Laguerre polynomials, and then, by imposing the collocation nodes, the equation is reduced to a linear system of algebraic equations. The coefficients of the expansion can be determined by solving the resulting system. The convergence of the method is proved, and some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the scheme. Finally, conclusions are given.
