Numerical solution of the Bagley Torvik equation

We consider the numerical solution of the Bagley-Torvik equation Ay′′(t) + BD ∗ y(t) + Cy(t) = f(t) as a prototype fractional differential equation with two derivatives. Approximate solutions have recently been proposed in the book and papers of Podlubny in which the solution obtained with approximate methods is compared to the exact solution. In this paper we consider the reformulation of the ...
