A spectrally accurate step-by-step method for the numerical solution of fractional differential equations

Abstract

In this paper we consider the numerical solution of fractional differential equations. In particular, we study a step-by-step graded mesh procedure based on an expansion of the vector field using orthonormal Jacobi polynomials. Under mild hypotheses, the proposed procedure is capable of getting spectral accuracy. A few numerical examples are reported to confirm the theoretical findings.
