Legendre wavelet – quasilinearization technique for solving q-difference equations

Abstract

Recently, various fixed point theorems have been used to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for q-difference equations. In this paper, we obtain the existence and uniqueness theorems for a q-initial and a q-boundary value problem using the classical Newton’s method. Making use of the main theorems, a Legendre wavelet technique has been proposed to solve the q-difference equations numerically. The numerical simulation shows that the proposed scheme produces higher accuracy and is very straightforward to apply. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.
