In this paper, meshless spectral interpolation technique using implicit time stepping scheme is proposed for the numerical simulations of time-fractional higher-order diffusion wave equations (TFHODWEs) of variable coefficients. Meshless shape functions, obtained from radial basis functions (RBFs) and point interpolation method (PIM), are used for spatial approximation. Central differences coupled with quadrature rule of [Formula: see text] are employed for fractional temporal approximation. For advancement of solution, an implicit time stepping scheme is then invoked. Simulations performed for different benchmark test problems feature good agreement with exact solutions. Stability analysis of the proposed method is theoretically discussed and computationally validated to support the analysis. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are assessed via [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] error norms as well as number of nodes [Formula: see text] and time step-size [Formula: see text].

The present paper’s objective is to highlight some new developments of the main author in the field of advanced dynamics of systems and higher order dynamic equations. These equations have been developed on the basis of the matrix exponentials which prove to have undeniable advantages in the matrix study of any complex mechanical system. The present paper proposes some new approaches, based on differential principles from analytical mechanics, by using some important dynamics notions, regarding the acceleration energies of the first, second and third order. This study extended the equations of the higher order, which provide the possibility of applying the initial motion conditions in the positions, velocities and accelerations of the first and second order. In order to determine the time variation laws for the generalized variables, the driving forces and acceleration energies of the higher order are applied by the time polynomial functions of the fifth order. According to inverse kinematics also named control kinematics of the robots, the applications of polynomial functions lead to the kinematic control functions of mechanical motions, especially the transitory motions. They influence the dynamic behavior of multibody systems, in which robot structures are included.
