This paper addresses spectral collocation techniques to treat with the fractional initial value problem of distributed-order. We introduce three algorithms based on shifted fractional order Jacobi orthogonal functions outputted by Jacobi polynomials. The shifted fractional order Jacobi–Gauss–Radau collocation method is developed for approximating the fractional initial value problem of distributed-order. The principal target in our techniques is to transform the fractional initial value problem of distributed-order to a system of algebraic equations. Some numerical examples are given to test the accuracy and applicability of our technique. It is known that the accuracy of numerical approaches for nonsmooth solution is deteriorated. Employing fractional order Jacobi functions instead of the classical Jacobi stopped this deterioration.

During photoexcitation the retina requires specific electrolytes and trace metals for optimal function (Na, Mg, Cl, K, Ca, S, P, Cu and Zn). According to Hagins (1981), photoexcitation and generation of a nerve impulse involves the movement of Ca from the rhodopsin-ladened membranes of the rod outer segment (ROS) to the plasmalemma, which in turn decreases the in-flow of Na into the photoreceptor, resulting in hyperpolarization. In toad isolated retinas, the presence of Ba has been found to increase the amplitude and prolong the delay of the light response (Brown and Flaming, 1978). Trace metals such as Cu, Zn and Se are essential for the activity of the metalloenzymes of the retina and retina pigment epithelium (RPE) (i.e. carbonic anhydrase, retinol dehydrogenase, tyrosinase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase...). Therefore the content and fluctuations of these elements in the retina and choroid are of fundamental importance for the maintenance of vision. This paper presents elemental data from light and dark adapted frog ocular tissues examined by electron beam induced x-ray microanalysis, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and proton induced x-ray emission spectrometry (PIXE).
