A spectral approach to non-linear weakly singular fractional integro-differential equations

Abstract

In this work, a class of non-linear weakly singular fractional integro-differential equations is considered, and we first prove existence, uniqueness, and smoothness properties of the solution under certain assumptions on the given data. We propose a numerical method based on spectral Petrov-Galerkin method that handling to the non-smooth behavior of the solution. The most outstanding feature of our approach is to evaluate the approximate solution by means of recurrence relations despite solving complex non-linear algebraic system. Furthermore, the well-known exponential accuracy is established in $L^{2}$-norm, and we provide some examples to illustrate the theoretical results and the performance of the proposed method.
