The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm based on operational Tau method (OTM) for solving fractional Fokker‐Planck equation (FFPE) with space‐ and time‐fractional derivatives. Fokker‐Planck equation with positive integer order is also considered.
The proposed algorithm converts the desired FFPE to a set of algebraic equations using orthogonal polynomials as basis functions. The paper states some concepts, properties and advantages of proposed algorithm and its applications for solving FFPE.
Some illustrative numerical experiments including linear and nonlinear FFPE are given and some comparisons are made between OTM and variational iteration method, Adomian decomposition method and homotpy perturbation method.
Results demonstrate some capabilities of the proposed algorithm such as the simplicity, the accuracy and the convergency. Also, this is the first presentation of this algorithm for FFPE.
