The numerical results show that the two-dimensional Haar method is simply applicable, accurate and efficient.

1. Introduction

Delay differential equation (DDE)is a differential equation (DE) in which the time derivatives at the present time are dependent on the solution and possibly its derivatives at prior times. Time delay systems or prehistoric functions are words used to describe DDEs. DDEs are frequently also called time delay systems or prehistory functions. These equations have a wide range of applications in chemical processes, economics [1], ecology [2], engineering, medicine and other several fields [3]. The role of DDEs is prominent in modeling of various physical systems in natural and social sciences. From the last twenty years, researchers have taken interest in the solution of DDEs [4] and fractional DDEs. A Partial Differential Equation (PDE) containing one or more delay terms (means information about the prior time function to the present time of observation) is known as Delay Partial Differential Equation (DPDE). Time DPDE appears in neural network models, population dynamics, electrical systems and transport phenomena comprising line losing and conservative frameworks where the actions and impact are isolated by temporal intervals. DPDEs have numerous applications such as mechanics, fluid dynamics, diffusion process, economics, control theory and many other fields of science [5]. Due to its vast range of utilization in every discipline of science, it attracts the intentions of researchers to find the solution of DPDEs.

In literature some techniques are developed by researchers for the approximate solution of DPDEs and neutral DPDEs. The researchers concentrate on the uniqueness, existence, and stability of the analytical solution, which refers [6]. The numerical solution of a time-varying delay system by Chebyshev wavelets is presented by Ghasemi and Tavassoli in [7]. The author describes the technique depending on the expanding of various functions in the system as a truncated Chebyshev wavelet. The operational matrices of integration and delays are reduced to a system of algebraic equations. For the solution of the class of neutral delay parabolic DEs, Qifeng and Chengjian [8] used a compact difference scheme along with extrapolation techniques. Shakeri and Dehghan [9] develop a solution of DDEs through a homotopy perturbation technique.

Jackiewicz and Zubik [10] establish spectral collocation and waveform relaxation methods for nonlinear DPDE. In this method, waveform relaxation technique allows to replace the nonlinear DEs as a result of spectral collocation technique by a sequence of linear problems. Baleanu et al. [11] presents an approximation to the DDEs of noninteger order by the optimal method. Cimen and Yilmaz [12] study the numerical method for a neutral DDE. The authors present exponential basis functions and interpolation quadrature rules to generate a fitted difference technique on a uniform mesh, which is succeeded by the technique of integral identities. Barton et al. [13] develops a collocation scheme for periodic solution of neutral DDEs. This method depends on direct discretisation of the underlying neutral DDE and one based on a discretisation of a related differential difference equation. Raza and Khan [14] presents Haar wavelet series solutions for solving neutral DDEs. The author used the Haar wavelet to obtain the solution of neutral DDEs with respect to the mesh points. Vanani and Aminataei [15] presents the numerical solution of neutral DDEs utilizing the multiquadratic approximation scheme. Liu et al. [16] presents a differential transform method for some DDEs. Jin et al. [17] presents the neutral DPDEs with an implicit difference scheme and obtains accuracy of order two.

Singh et al. found the solution of nonlinear variable order fuzzy fractional PDEs [18], fractional model of telegraph equation [19], and fractional multidimensional diffusion equations [20]. Veeresha [21] demonstrates the chaotic behaviour of the coupled fractional-order system, Hammouch et al. [22] found solutions and synchronization of a variable-order fractional chaotic system. Yokus and Yavuz [23] gives comparison of numerical and analytical methods for fractional Burger–Fisher equation. Zada et al. [24] found approximate-analytical solutions to PDEs via auxiliary function method while Yavuz and Sene [25] found numerical solutions of the model describing fluid flow. Yavuz and Abdeljawad [26] found solutions of nonlinear fractional regularized long wave models.

Haar wavelet (HW) refers to the family of square integrable functions which are mathematically the foremost easy when compared with different wavelets. Small number of grid points gives high accuracy. HW technique is computer oriented technique, and it is easily implemented as compared to other wavelets. Because of these properties, HW technique is a better numerical technique for calculations and it is faster in data processing. HW has several applications in science and engineering and it is no surprise that the uses of HW for approximation purposes in the literature. The references [2733] shows the work by using the HW method in the literature. The recent work using Haar technique for numerical solution of different problems in literature can be seen in [3439]. Haar wavelets are piecewise constant functions with a jump discontinuity, and their derivatives vanish in all orders. As a result, these wavelets cannot be used to solve DPDEs and neutral DPDEs directly.

In this paper, 2D HW method is established for the numerical solution of nonlinear and linear DPDEs and neutral DPDEs. Assume DPDEs with the following delay in time: with delay and initial condition where , and boundary conditions , , where and are functions of time, , and are functions of .

Also, we will develop 2D HW technique for neutral DPDEs of the form [8]: with boundary conditions: and delay condition

where and are constant numbers.

The main aim of this article is to present a 2-dimensional HW scheme for numerical solution of DPDE and neutral DPDE of the types defined above. The highest space and time derivative showing in the Eq. (1) and Eq. (2) are approximated using 2-dimensional HW and the lower order space and time partial derivative and unknown function is acquired by the operation of integration. We acquire a system of algebraic equations by putting the collocation points by using the two-dimensional HW approach on Eqs. (1) and (2). For nonlinear systems Broyden’s method is used while Gauss elimination technique is utilized for the linear system to find the Haar coefficients. Finally, the numerical solution at the collocation points is acquired by utilizing these Haar coefficients .

The arrangement of the paper as: definition of HW is specified in Section 2. The numerical technique for the solution of DPDEs and neutral DPDE depends on two-dimensional HW is established in Section 3. Test problems are given in Section 4 and conclusion is given in Section 5.

Example 1. First order PDEs with delay in time and deceleration of a state variable are called advection equations. Assume the advection equation with time delay [40]: where initial and delay conditions: The exact solution is The comparison of the errors for 2D HW technique with finite difference scheme [5] and one dimensional HW technique [33] are given in Table 1. A good performance of 2D HW technique is seen from this table. The errors at time using 2D HW technique for distinct numbers of grid points are given in Table 1. From Table 1, we examine that the errors are decreased by rising the number of grid points. This represents that the 2D HW technique has coherent behavior for this problem. The errors by Hybrid technique (HW and finite difference) are decreased to while by 2D HW technique is decreased up to .
