Iterative Techniques with Initial Time Difference and Computer Realization for the Initial Value Problem for Caputo Fractional Differential Equations

abstract:
Some algorithms are given and applied in an appropriate computer environment to solve approximately the initial value problem for scalar nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equations on a finite interval. Various schemes for constructing successive approximations are suggested. They do not use Mittag-Leffler functions and as a result the practical application of the algorithms is easier. Several particular initial value problems for Caputo fractional differential equations are given to illustrate the advantages of the iterative techniques.
