This paper presents a numerical scheme for the solutions of Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs) of order α, 1<α<2 which have been expressed in terms of Caputo Fractional Derivative (FD). In this scheme, the properties of the Caputo derivative are used to reduce an FDE into a Volterra-type integral equation. The entire domain is divided into several small domains, and the distribution of the unknown function over the domain is expressed in terms of the function values and its slopes at the node points. These approximations are then substituted into the Volterra-type integral equation to reduce it to algebraic equations. Since the method enforces the continuity of variables at the node points, it provides a solution that is continuous and with a slope that is also continuous over the entire domain. The method is used to solve two problems, linear and nonlinear, using two different types of polynomials, cubic order and fractional order. Results obtained using both types of polynomials agree well with the analytical results for problem 1 and the numerical results obtained using another scheme for problem 2. However, the fractional order polynomials give more accurate results than the cubic order polynomials do. This suggests that for the numerical solutions of FDEs fractional order polynomials may be more suitable than the integer order polynomials. A series of numerical studies suggests that the algorithm is stable.

Since the method enforces the continuity of variables at the node points, it provides a solution that is continuous and with a slope that is also continuous over the entire domain. The method is used to solve a simple FDE using two different types of polynomials, namely cubic order and fractional order. Results obtained using both types of polynomials agree well with the analytical results. However, the fractional order polynomials give more accurate results than the cubic order polynomials do. This suggests that for the numerical solutions of FDEs fractional order polynomials may be more suitable than the integer order polynomials.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to obtain a numerical scheme for finding numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear Hadamard-type fractional differential equations.Design/methodology/approachThe aim of this paper is to develop a numerical scheme for numerical solutions of Hadamard-type fractional differential equations. The classical Haar wavelets are modified to align them with Hadamard-type operators. Operational matrices are derived and used to convert differential equations to systems of algebraic equations.FindingsThe upper bound for error is estimated. With the help of quasilinearization, nonlinear problems are converted to sequences of linear problems and operational matrices for modified Haar wavelets are used to get their numerical solution. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability and validity of the proposed method.Originality/valueThe numerical method is purposed for solving Hadamard-type fractional differential equations.

This paper introduces an efficient numerical scheme for solving a significant class of fractional differential equations. The major contributions made in this paper apply a direct approach based on a combination of time discretization and the Laplace transform method to transcribe the fractional differential problem under study into a dynamic linear equations system. The resulting problem is then solved by employing the numerical method of the quadrature rule, which is also a well-developed numerical method. The present numerical scheme, which is based on the numerical inversion of Laplace transform and equal-width quadrature rule is robust and efficient. Some numerical experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the suggested framework.

AbstractIn this paper, we study an implicit sequential fractional order differential equation with non-instantaneous impulses and multi-point boundary conditions. The article comprehensively elaborate four different types of Ulam’s stability in the lights of generalized Diaz Margolis’s fixed point theorem. Moreover, some sufficient conditions are constructed to observe the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the proposed model. The proposed model contains both the integer order and fractional order derivatives. Thus, the exponential function appearers in the solution of the proposed model which will lead researchers to study fractional differential equations with well known methods of integer order differential equations. In the last, few examples are provided to show the applicability of our main results.

Based on some recent works about the general solution of fractional differential equations with instantaneous impulses, a Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential equation with noninstantaneous impulses is studied in this paper. An equivalent integral equation with some undetermined constants is obtained for this fractional order system with noninstantaneous impulses, which means that there is general solution for the impulsive systems. Next, an example is given to illustrate the obtained result.

In this paper, a new numerical method for solving the fractional differential equations with boundary value problems is presented. The method is based upon hybrid functions approximation. The properties of hybrid functions consisting of block-pulse functions and Bernoulli polynomials are presented. The Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator for hybrid functions is given. This operator is then utilized to reduce the solution of the boundary value problems for fractional differential equations to a system of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.
