Here we prove such a result for fractional (non-integer) derivatives. Moreover, a numerical method is proposed for fractional differential equations. The convergence rate and stability of the proposed method are obtained. Illustrative examples are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-08-02T10:07:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26A33", "34A08", "41A10", "41A25" ], "keywords": [ "fractional differential equations", "fractional derivatives", "uniform approximation", "application", "convergence rate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1308.0451K" } } }
