Abstract: An algorithm has been developed to convert the multi-order fractional differential equation:where m < α ⩽ m +1, 0< β 1 < β 2 <⋯< β n < α and denotes Caputo fractional derivative of order α into a system of fractional differential equations. Further Adomian decomposition method has been employed to solve the system of fractional differential equations. Some illustrative examples are presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper we propose two algorithms for numerical fractional integration and Caputo fractional differentiation. We present a modification of trapezoidal rule that is used to approximate finite integrals, the new modification extends the application of the rule to approximate integrals of arbitrary order α >0. We then, using the new modification derive an algorithm to approximate fractional derivatives of arbitrary order α >0, where the fractional derivative based on Caputo definition, for a given function by a weighted sum of function and its ordinary derivatives values at specified points. The study is conducted through illustrative examples and error analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
