A Legendre Computational Matrix Method for Solving High-Order Fractional Differential Equations
Keywords:
Ordinary fractional differential equations, shifted Legendre polynomials, Caputo derivatives, computational matrix method, cauchy equations, Bagley-Torvik equationsAbstract
In this paper, a matrix method for the approximate solution of high order fractional differential equations (FDEs) in terms of a truncated Legendre series is presented. The FDEs and its initial or boundary conditions are transformed to matrix equations, which correspond to a system of algebraic equations with unknown Legendre coefficients. The solution of this system yields the Legendre coefficients of the solution formula. Several numerical examples, such as Cauchy and Bagley-Torvik fractional differential equations, are provided to confirm the accuracy and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
