Nonlinear higher order fractional terminal value problems

Abstract

Terminal value problems for systems of fractional differential equations are studied with an especial focus on higher-order systems. Discretized piecewise polynomial collocation methods are used for approximating the exact solution. This leads to solving a system of nonlinear equations. For solving such a system an iterative method with a required tolerance is introduced and analyzed. The existence of a unique solution is guaranteed with the aid of the fixed point theorem. Order of convergence for the given numerical method is obtained. Numerical experiments are given to support theoretical results.
