Nonlinear fractional differential equations are widely used to model real-life phenomena. For this reason, there is a need for efficient numerical methods to solve such problems. In this respect, collocation methods are particularly attractive for their ability to deal with the nonlocal behavior of the fractional derivative. Among the variety of collocation methods, methods based on spline approximations are preferable since the approximations can be represented by local bases, thereby reducing the computational load. In this paper, we use a collocation method based on spline quasi-interpolant operators to solve nonlinear time-fractional initial value problems. The numerical tests we performed show that the method has good approximation properties.

Abstract In this paper, we formulate and prove two maximum principles to nonlinear fractional differential equations. We consider a fractional derivative operator with Mittag-Leffler function of two parameters in the kernel. These maximum principles are used to establish a pre-norm estimate of solutions, and to derive certain uniqueness and positivity results to related linear and nonlinear fractional initial value problems.

Time Fractional Differential Equations

In many applications, real phenomena are modeled by differential problems having a time fractional derivative that depends on the history of the unknown function. For the numerical solution of time fractional differential equations, we propose a new method that combines spline quasi-interpolatory operators and collocation methods. We show that the method is convergent and reproduces polynomials of suitable degree. The numerical tests demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method when used to solve linear time fractional differential equations.

Theoretical Results

AbstractHumans are part of nature, and as nature existed before mankind, mathematics was created by humans with the main aim to analyze, understand and predict behaviors observed in nature. However, besides this aspect, mathematicians have introduced some laws helping them to obtain some theoretical results that may not have physical meaning or even a representation in nature. This is also the case in the field of fractional calculus in which the main aim was to capture more complex processes observed in nature. Some laws were imposed and some operators were misused, such as, for example, the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivatives that are power-law-based derivatives and have been used to model problems with no power law process. To solve this problem, new differential operators depicting different processes were introduced. This article aims to clarify some misunderstandings about the use of fractional differential and integral operators with non-singular kernels. Additionally, we suggest some numerical discretizations for the new differential operators to be used when dealing with initial value problems. Applications of some nature processes are provided.

Some new Gronwall-Bellman type inequalities are presented in this paper. Based on these inequalities, new explicit bounds for the related unknown functions are derived. The inequalities established can also be used as a handy tool in the research of qualitative as well as quantitative analysis for solutions to some fractional differential equations defined in the sense of the modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. For illustrating the validity of the results established, we present some applications for them, in which the boundedness, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on the initial value for the solutions to some certain fractional differential and integral equations are investigated.
