Numerical solution of differential equations arising in fluid dynamics using Legendre wavelet collocation method

Wavelet analysis is a recently developed mathematical tool for many problems. One of its main attractive features is the ability to accurately represent general functions with small number of adaptively chosen wavelet coefficients. In this paper, the Legendre wavelet collocation method (LWCM) for the numerical solution of differential equations is presented. The proposed method gives better results than the existing ones. Some of the illustrative examples are included to observe the performance of the proposed scheme.
