Abstract In this article, we develop a new set of functions called fractional-order Alpert multiwavelet functions to obtain the numerical solution of fractional pantograph differential equations (FPDEs). The fractional derivative of Caputo type is considered. Here we construct the Riemann–Liouville fractional operational matrix of integration (Riemann–Liouville FOMI) using the fractional-order Alpert multiwavelet functions. The most important feature behind the scheme using this technique is that the pantograph equation reduces to a system of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations. We perform the error analysis for the proposed technique. Illustrative examples are examined to demonstrate the important features of the new method.
