Using an enhanced homotopy perturbation method in fractional differential equations via deforming the linear part

Convergence and stability are main issues when an asymptotical method like the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) has been used to solve differential equations. In this paper, convergence of the solution of fractional differential equations is maintained. Meanwhile, an effective method is suggested to select the linear part in the HPM to keep the inherent stability of fractional equations. Riccati fractional differential equations as a case study are then solved, using the Enhanced Homotopy Perturbation Method (EHPM). Current results are compared with those derived from the established Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method, in order to verify the accuracy of the EHPM. It is shown that there is excellent agreement between the two sets of results. This finding confirms that the EHPM is powerful and efficient tool for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations.

A new operational matrix for solving fractional-order differential equations

Fractional calculus has been used to model physical and engineering processes that are found to be best described by fractional differential equations. For that reason we need a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of fractional differential equations. This paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of fractional differential equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense.

The numerical solution of fractional differential equations using the Volterra integral equation method based on thin plate splines

Finding the approximate solution of differential equations, including non-integer order derivatives, is one of the most important problems in numerical fractional calculus. The main idea of the current paper is to obtain a numerical scheme for solving fractional differential equations of the second order. To handle the method, we first convert these types of differential equations to linear fractional Volterra integral equations of the second kind. Afterward, the solutions of the mentioned Volterra integral equations are estimated using the discrete collocation method together with thin plate splines as a type of free-shape parameter radial basis functions. Since the scheme does not need any background meshes, it can be recognized as a meshless method. The proposed approach has a simple and computationally attractive algorithm. Error analysis is also studied for the presented method. Finally, the reliability and efficiency of the new technique are tested over several fractional differential equations and obtained results confirm the theoretical error estimates.
