Spline Collocation Method for Nonlinear Multi-Term Fractional Differential Equation

Abstract

We study an approximation method to solve nonlinear multi-term fractional differential equations with initial conditions or boundary conditions. First, we transform the nonlinear multi-term fractional differential equations with initial conditions and boundary conditions to nonlinear fractional integral equations and consider the relations between them. We present a Spline Collocation Method and prove the existence, uniqueness and convergence of approximate solution as well as error estimation. The approximate solution of fractional differential equation is obtained by fractional integration of the approximate solution for fractional integral equation.
