Source abstract

The current paper presents a novel numerical technique to handle variable-order multiterm fractional differential equations (VO-MTFDEs) supplemented with initial conditions (ICs) by introducing generalized fractional Jacobi functions (GFJFs). These GFJFs satisfy the associated ICs. A crucial part of this approach is using the spectral collocation method (SCM) and building operational matrices (OMs) for both integer-order and variable-order fractional derivatives in the context of GFJFs. These lead to efficient and accurate computations. The suggested algorithm’s convergence and error analysis are proved. The feasibility of the suggested procedure is confirmed via five numerical test examples.
