An efficient method for solving non-linear singularly perturbed two points boundary-value problems of fractional order (Q434745): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with a numerical solution for a class of fractional singularly perturbed Dirichlet boundary value problems \[ -\epsilon D^\alpha y(x)+u(x,y)y'(x)+v(x,y)y(x)=0, \quad 0<x<1,\;1<\alpha\leq2, \] \[ y(0)=\beta_1,\;\;y(1)=\beta_2, \] where \(D^\alpha\) denotes the left-sided Caputo fractional derivative, \(\epsilon\) is a small positive parameter, \(\beta_1,\) \(\beta_2\) are given constants and \(u,v\) are sufficiently smooth functions. The numerical technique that is used to solve this problem is based on dividing the considered problem into two equivalent problems; a reduced problem which can be solved analytically and a boundary layer correction problem which is solved using a series method -- combining the Adomian decomposition method and Padé approximants. The use of the theory is illustrated by two examples demonstrating the performance and efficiency of the proposed method.
