ABSTRACT
In this paper, we have generalized the time-fractional telegraph equation involving operators with Mittag-Leffler kernel of variable order in Liouville-Caputo sense. The fractional variable-order equation was solved numerically via Crank-Nicholson scheme. We present the existence and uniqueness of the solution. Numerical simulations of the special solutions were done and new behaviors are obtained.
