theta-scheme for solving Caputo fractional differential equations

Thai Son Doan, Phan Thi Huong, Peter E. Kloeden

Abstract:
We formulate a \(\theta\)-numerical scheme for solving Caputo fractional differential equations (Caputo FDEs) of order \(\alpha\in(0,1)\), with vector fields satisfying a standard Lipschitz continuity condition in the state variable and a H\"older continuity condition in the time variable. The convergence rate is established and a numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical results. The scheme obtained includes the explicit (\(\theta=0\)) and implicit (\(\theta=1\)) counterparts of Euler-like schemes for Caputo FDEs known in the literature as the Adams-Bashford and Adams-Moulton schemes, respectively, and essentially linearly interpolates them.
