Laguerre collocation approach of caputo fractional fredholm-volterra integro-differential equations

Abstract

This paper discusses the linear fractional Fredholm-Volterra integro-differential equations (IDEs) considered in the Caputo sense. For this purpose, Laguerre polynomials have been used to construct an approximation method to obtain the solutions of the linear fractional Fredholm-Volterra IDEs. By this approximation method, the IDE has been transformed into a linear algebraic equation system using appropriate collocation points. In addition, a novel and exact matrix expression for the Caputo fractional derivatives of Laguerre polynomials and an associated explicit matrix formulation has been established for the first time in the literature. Furthermore, a comparison between the results of the proposed method and those of methods in the literature has been provided by implementing the method in numerous examples. © 2024, Emrah Evren KARA.
