Approximate solution for solving fractional Riccati differential equations via trigonometric basic functions

Abstract

In this paper, a method has been proposed to finding a numerical function for the Riccati differential equations of non integer order (FRDEs), in which trigonometric basic functions are used. First, by defining trigonometric basic functions, we define the values of the transformation function in relation to trigonometric basis functions (TBFs). Following that, the numerical function is defined as a linear combination of trigonometric base functions and values of transform function which is named trigonometric transform method (TTM), and the convergence of the method is also presented. To get a numerical solution function with discrete derivatives of the solution function, we have determined the numerical solution function which satisfies the FRDEs. In the end, the algorithm of the method is elaborated with several examples. Numerical results obtained show that the proposed algorithm gives very good numerical solutions. In one example, we have presented an absolute error comparison of some numerical methods.
