This paper is a result of comparison of some available numerical methods for solving nonlinear fractional order ordinary differential equations. These methods are compared according to their computational complexity, convergence rate, and approximation error. The present study shows that when these methods are applied to nonlinear differential equations of fractional order, they have different ...

Fractional calculus is the generalization of integer-order calculus to rational order. This subject has at least three hundred years of history. However, it was traditionally regarded as a pure mathematical field and lacked real world applications for a very long time. In recent decades, fractional calculus has re-attracted the attention of scientists and engineers. For example, many researcher...

Regular and singular perturbations of fractional ordinary differential equations (fODEs) are considered. This is likely the first attempt to describe these problems. Similarities and differences between these cases and the analogous ones for classical (integer-order) differential equations are pointed out. Examples, including the celebrated Bagley-Torvik equations are discussed. Asymptotic-nume...

In this paper, operational matrix method based upon the Bernstein polynomials is proposed to solve the variable order fractional integro-differential equations in the Caputo derivative sense. We derive the Bernstein polynomials operational matrix of fractional order integration and introduce the product operational matrix of Bernstein polynomials. A truncated the Bernstein polynomials series to...

We prove that the electromagnetic fields in dielectric media whose susceptibility follows a fractional powerlaw dependence in a wide frequency range can be described by differential equations with time derivatives of noninteger order. We obtain fractional integro-differential equations for electromagnetic waves in a dielectric. The electromagnetic fields in dielectrics demonstrate a fractional ...

The present study introduces a new technique of homotopy perturbation method for the solution of systems of fractional partial differential equations. The proposed scheme is based on Laplace transform and new homotopy perturbation methods. The fractional derivatives are considered in Caputo sense. To illustrate the ability and reliability of the method some examples are provided. The results ob...

The purpose of this study is to develop a new approach in modeling and simulation of a reverse osmosis desalination system by using fractional differential equations. Using the Legendre wavelet method combined with the decoupling and quasi-linearization technique, we demonstrate the validity and applicability of our model. Examples are developed to illustrate the fractional differential techniq...

In recent years, there has been greater attempt to find numerical solutions of differential equations using wavelet's methods. The following method is based on vector forms of Haar-wavelet functions. In this paper, we will introduce one dimensional Haar-wavelet functions and the Haar-wavelet operational matrices of the fractional order integration. Also the Haar-wavelet operational matrices of ...
