title: An efficient Legendre wavelet-based approximation method for a few Newell-Whitehead and Allen-Cahn equations.
abstract: In this paper, a wavelet-based approximation method is introduced for solving the Newell-Whitehead (NW) and Allen-Cahn (AC) equations. To the best of our knowledge, until now there is no rigorous Legendre wavelets solution has been reported for the NW and AC equations. The highest derivative in the differential equation is expanded into Legendre series, this approximation is integrated while the boundary conditions are applied using integration constants. With the help of Legendre wavelets operational matrices, the aforesaid equations are converted into an algebraic system. Block pulse functions are used to investigate the Legendre wavelets coefficient vectors of nonlinear terms. The convergence of the proposed methods is proved. Finally, we have given some numerical examples to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method.
