abstract = {In this work, a new spectral Galerkin approach to solving the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation (TFDWE) with non-homogeneous initial and boundary conditions is presented. A suitable transformation is used to convert the TFDWE governed by non-homogeneous conditions into a modified one governed by homogeneous conditions. New basis functions in terms of specific shifted Horadam polynomials are used. Some new definite integral formulas that are crucial to the numerical implementation are developed, and the Galerkin scheme is analyzed in detail to obtain the approximate solutions. A thorough convergence and error analysis of the proposed expansion is established. A number of numerical experiments are carried out to show the scheme's applicability and accuracy when compared to other methods.}
