Approximate solutions of one dimensional systems with fractional derivative (1910.08182v1)

Abstract: The fractional calculus is useful to model non-local phenomena. We construct a method to evaluate the fractional Caputo derivative by means of a simple explicit quadratic segmentary interpolation. This method yields to numerical resolution of ordinary fractional differential equations. Due to the non-locality of the fractional derivative, we may establish an equivalence between fractional oscillators and ordinary oscillators with a dissipative term.
