To carry out the method, first, we introduce FF integral operators in the Caputo, Atangana-Baleanu, and Caputo-Fabrizio senses. Then, by applying the Vieta-Fibonacci polynomials and their FF integral operators together with the collocation method, the problem becomes reduced to a system of algebraic equations that can be solved by Mathematical software. In the presented scheme, acceptable approximate solutions are achieved by employing only a few number of the basic functions. Moreover, the error analysis of the presented method is investigated. Finally, the accuracy of the presented method is examined through the numerical examples.

The presented GCM circuits can enhance a low capacitance value to a very high value (used in low frequency applications), up to 9202 times its original value.
