Higher order numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations (Q398636)

The authors introduce two good new numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations with order \(0<\alpha<1\). The first one is a method to solve linear fractional differential equations with order \(O(h^{ 3-\alpha})\) and the second one is a fractional Adams-type method for a nonlinear fractional differential equation of any order \(\alpha>0\) with order of convergence \(O(h^{3})\) for \(\alpha\geq1\) and \(O(h^{1+2\alpha})\) for \(0<\alpha\leq1\). Some numerical examples prove the consistency of the main results.
