A Modified Generalized Laguerre Spectral Method for Fractional Differential Equations on the Half Line

الملخص EN

This paper deals with modified generalized Laguerre spectral tau and collocation methods for solving linear and nonlinear multiterm fractional differential equations (FDEs) on the half line.

A new formula expressing the Caputo fractional derivatives of modified generalized Laguerre polynomials of any degree and for any fractional order in terms of the modified generalized Laguerre polynomials themselves is derived.

An efficient direct solver technique is proposed for solving the linear multiterm FDEs with constant coefficients on the half line using a modified generalized Laguerre tau method.

The spatial approximation with its Caputo fractional derivatives is based on modified generalized Laguerre polynomials Li(α,β)(x) with x∈Λ=(0,∞), α>−1, and β>0, and i is the polynomial degree.

We implement and develop the modified generalized Laguerre collocation method based on the modified generalized Laguerre-Gauss points which is used as collocation nodes for solving nonlinear multiterm FDEs on the half line.
