An efficient extension of the Chebyshev cardinal functions for differential equations with coordinate derivatives of non-integer order

Abstract

In this study, an effective numerical method for solving fractional differential equations using Chebyshev cardinal functions is presented. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. An operational matrix of fractional order integration is derived and is utilized to reduce the fractional differential equations to system of algebraic equations. In addition, illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
