However, when the source term is a general function rather than a polynomial, the computation becomes challenging. Furthermore, if the problem is governed by nonhomogeneous initial conditions, the resulting convolution integral contains more complex expressions, such as multivariate generalizations of the Mittag\u2013Leffler function, which are difficult to evaluate. From a numerical perspective, traditional methods such as those based on operational matrices (involving both derivative and integral operational matrices), as well as spectral Tau and collocation techniques, are commonly used to solve Bagley\u2013Torvik equations. However, these approaches tend to be computationally intensive, less user-friendly, and may become unstable when a large number of orthogonal polynomial terms are employed. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel and efficient computational technique from the class of spectral methods to solve Bagley\u2013Torvik equations. The proposed method is capable of addressing both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous initial conditions and accommodates a broad class of source terms. It features a newly developed fractional-order integral operational matrix based on Chelyshkov polynomials, which efficiently transforms the Bagley\u2013Torvik equations into a system of algebraic equations. This streamlined formulation eliminates the need for derivative operational matrices as well as spectral Tau and collocation techniques. The method\u2019s effectiveness is validated through comparisons with exact solutions, Podlubny\u2019s numerical results, and several existing analytical and numerical approaches. In the absence of exact solutions, additional validation is performed using benchmark results from Podlubny\u2019s MATLAB\u2019s repository. It is worth mentioning that the proposed method is equally suitable for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations. Overall, the proposed approach offers enhanced accuracy, reduced computational complexity, and faster convergence, establishing it as a highly efficient tool for solving Bagley\u2013Torvik equations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40314-025-03371-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,19]],"date-time":"2025-08-19T05:42:48Z","timestamp":1755582168000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A high-precision spectral method for solving Bagley\u2013Torvik equations"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0115-4506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Imran","family":"Talib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8889-3768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thabet","family":"Abdeljawad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9066-5334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manar A.","family":"Alqudah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"3371_CR1","unstructured":"Podlubny I (1999) Fractional differential equations, volume 198 of Mathematics in Science and Engineering.
