Analytical and numerical study of a nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equation with the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative (Q6116962)

In the context of fractional calculus and fractional integro-differential equations, several notions and applications have been considered and studied by various researchers. In the present paper, the authors study a nonlinear integro-differential equation of Volterra type with a Caputo fractional derivative without singular kernel. In Section 2, a left-sided Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative is defined and its fundamental properties are discussed. Employing some specific Lipschitz conditions an existence and uniqueness theorem for solutions of the considered Volterra integro-differential equation is stated and proved. Finally, a numerical unique solution is constructed and its consistency with the analytic solution is discussed. MATLAB and C++ programming are used to solve three concrete examples.
