Abstract

In this article, we propose a Fractional Integral Residual Minimization Method (FIRMM) to solve Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs) with the Caputo derivative. We provide a detailed and rigorous study of convergence analysis and stability analysis of FIRMM under suitable assumptions. Also, we extend the method FIRMM to solve a class of system of Caputo FDEs with a detailed and rigorous study on convergence analysis and stability analysis under suitable assumptions. The efficacy of our proposed method is established through numerical experiments. The advantages and limitations of FIRMM are analyzed.
