Numerical simulation for generalized space-time fractional Klein–Gordon equations via Gegenbauer wavelet

Abstract This paper investigates numerical solution of generalized space-time fractional Klein–Gordon equations (GSTFKGE) by using Gegenbauer wavelet method (GWM). The developed method makes use of fractional order integral operator (FOIO) for Gegenbauer wavelet, which is constructed by employing the definition of Riemann–Liouville fractional integral (RLFI) operator and Laplace transformation. The present algorithm is based on Gegenbauer wavelet jointly with FOIO to convert a GSTFKGE into a system of equations which is solved by using Newton’s technique. Additionally, the upper bound of error norm of the proposed method is calculated to validate the theoretical authenticity of the developed method. The comparison of numerical outcomes with the existing results in the literature and graphical illustrations show the accuracy and reliability of our method.
