Abstract: In this paper, we study the existence, regularity, and approximation of the solution for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations. {In order to do this}, suitable variational formulations are defined for a nonlinear boundary value problems with Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives together with the homogeneous Dirichlet condition. We {investigate} the well-posedness and also the regularity of the corresponding weak solutions. Then, we develop a Galerkin finite element approach {color{blue}for} the numerical approximation of the weak formulations and {drive a priori error estimates and prove the stability of the schemes}. Finally, some numerical experiments are provided to {demonstrate} the accuracy of the proposed method.


The paper studies some analytical properties of a boundary value problem with a fractional ordinary differential equation of Riemann-Liouville or Caputo type whose order is in \((1,2)\), associated with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a specific type of nonlinearities. For the approximate solution of such problems under certain conditions on the given data, a finite element method is described and investigated.
