TL;DR
The paper addresses numerical solution of conformable fractional differential equations using a predictor-corrector approach. It derives a conformable Adams-Bashforth–Adams-Moulton scheme by applying the conformable integral $I_alpha$ to $T_alpha y=f(t,y)$ and discretizing $ abla_0^{t} x^{alpha-1} f(x,y(x)) dx$, yielding an explicit predictor and a semi-implicit corrector with coefficients $a_j$. Key contributions include the explicit predictor $y^p_{n+1}= y_0 + rac{h^{ ext{alpha}}}{ ext{alpha}} sum_{j=0}^{n} ig((j+1)^{ ext{alpha}}-j^{ ext{alpha}}ig) f(t_j,y_j)$ and a conformable-Moulton type corrector, plus numerical validation on linear and nonlinear problems with known exact solutions. The results indicate good accuracy and practical viability, supported by example problems and a Python implementation in Appendix A.
Abstract
This work proposes a conformable fractional predictor-corrector algorithm for solving conformable fractional differential equations. Fractional calculus is finding applications in various scientific fields, but existing numerical methods might have limitations. This work addresses that gap by introducing a new algorithm specifically designed for the conformable fractional derivative using Adams-Bashforth and Adams-Moulton methods.
