Using Shifted Jacobi Polynomials to Handle Boundary Value Problems of Fractional Order

Abstract

This paper is concerned about the study of shifted Jacobi polynomials. By means of these polynomials, we construct some operational matrices of fractional order integration and differentiations. Based on these matrices, we develop a numerical scheme for the boundary value problems of fractional order differential equations. The construction of the procedure is new one for the coupled systems of fractional order boundary value problems. In the proposed scheme, we obtain a simple but highly accurate systems of algebraic equations. These systems are easily soluble by means of Matlab or using Mathematica. We provide some examples to which the procedure is applied to verify the applicability of our proposed method.
