This paper reports a new formula expressing the Caputo fractional derivatives for any order of shifted generalized Jacobi polynomials of any degree in terms of shifted generalized Jacobi polynomials themselves. A direct solution technique is presented for solving multiterm fractional differential equations (FDEs) subject to nonhomogeneous initial conditions using spectral shifted generalized Jacobi Galerkin method. The homogeneous initial conditions are satisfied exactly by using a class of shifted generalized Jacobi polynomials as a polynomial basis of the truncated expansion for the approximate solution. The approximation of the spatial Caputo fractional order derivatives is expanded in terms of a class of shifted generalized Jacobi polynomialsJnα,−β(x)withx∈(0,1), andnis the polynomial degree. Several numerical examples with comparisons with the exact solutions are given to confirm the reliability of the proposed method for multiterm FDEs.

This paper deals with modified generalized Laguerre spectral tau and collocation methods for solving linear and nonlinear multiterm fractional differential equations (FDEs) on the half line. A new formula expressing the Caputo fractional derivatives of modified generalized Laguerre polynomials of any degree and for any fractional order in terms of the modified generalized Laguerre polynomials themselves is derived. An efficient direct solver technique is proposed for solving the linear multiterm FDEs with constant coefficients on the half line using a modified generalized Laguerre tau method. The spatial approximation with its Caputo fractional derivatives is based on modified generalized Laguerre polynomialsLi(α,β)(x)withx∈Λ=(0,∞),α>−1, andβ>0, andiis the polynomial degree. We implement and develop the modified generalized Laguerre collocation method based on the modified generalized Laguerre-Gauss points which is used as collocation nodes for solving nonlinear multiterm FDEs on the half line.

In the paper some features of applying Lie group analysis methods to fractional differential equations are considered. The problem related to point change of variables in the fractional differentiation operator is discussed and some general form of transformation that conserves the form of Riemann-Liouville fractional operator is obtained. The prolongation formula for extending an infinitesimal operator of a group to fractional derivative with respect to arbitrary function is presented. Provided simple example illustrates the necessity of considering both local and non-local symmetries for fractional differential equations in particular cases including the initial conditions. The equivalence transformation forms for some fractional differential equations are discussed and results of group classification of the wave-diffusion equation are presented. Some examples of constructing particular exact solutions of fractional transport equation are given, based on the Lie group methods and the method of invariant subspaces.

The operational matrices of fractional-order integration for the Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets are derived. Block pulse functions and collocation method are employed to derive a general procedure for forming these matrices for both the Legendre and the Chebyshev wavelets. Then numerical methods based on wavelet expansion and these operational matrices are proposed. In this proposed method, by a change of variables, the multiorder fractional differential equations (MOFDEs) with nonhomogeneous initial conditions are transformed to the MOFDEs with homogeneous initial conditions to obtain suitable numerical solution of these problems. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of the numerical scheme based on the Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets.

In this paper, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions for a nonlocal boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations with two Caputo fractional derivatives. By applying the contraction mapping and O’Regan fixed point theorem, the existence results are obtained. We also derive the Ulam-Hyers stability of solutions. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate our results.
