Abstract
  The Bagley--Torvik equation, which governs the motion of a rigid plate immersed in a Newtonian fluid with viscoelastic damping, represents one of the canonical benchmark problems in fractional calculus. This paper presents a systematic comparative numerical analysis of four established methods for solving ...  Read More

Abstract
  This paper presents a novel hybrid orthogonal polynomial method for solving optimal control problems governed by fractional parabolic PDEs. By strategically weighting and combining these polynomial bases, the method adaptively leverages their respective strengths to achieve superior approximation properties. ...  Read More
