Abstract In this paper, the three-variable shifted Jacobi operational matrix of fractional derivatives is used together with the collocation method for numerical solution of three-dimensional multi-term fractional-order PDEs with variable coefficients. The main characteristic behind this approach is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations which greatly simplifying the problem. The approximate solutions of nonlinear fractional PDEs with variable coefficients thus obtained by three-variable shifted Jacobi polynomials are compared with the exact solutions. Furthermore some theorems and lemmas are introduced to verify the convergence results of our algorithm. Lastly, More >
