Abstract

In this paper, we present an operational matrix method for integrating fractional Riccati differential equations (FRDEs) based on Haar wavelets. The fractional derivative is considered in the sense of Atangana’s beta derivative, which effectively captures the memory and nonlocal characteristics of complex dynamical systems. The proposed technique employs a truncated Haar wavelet series and an operational matrix of integration to convert the governing FRDEs into a system of algebraic equations. These equations are then formulated as objective functions, and the unknown Haar wavelet coefficients are determined using a random search optimization procedure. This transformation reduces the computational complexity and provides an efficient framework for handling nonlinear fractional-order problems. The convergence and validity of the proposed method are demonstrated using several illustrative examples. The numerical results obtained with the proposed approach are compared with those from the Adams–Bashforth method, and the results show that the present technique provides more accurate approximations. Furthermore, to assess the performance and reliability of the method, several error metrics were computed, including the mean absolute deviation, root mean square error, Theil’s inequality coefficient, Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), and variance account for (VAF), for different numbers of collocation points. The results confirm that the Haar wavelet operational matrix method is simple to implement, computationally efficient, and highly accurate for solving fractional Riccati differential equations.
