Parameter estimation of fractional uncertain differential equations via Adams method

Parameter estimation of uncertain differential equations becomes popular very recently. This paper suggests a new method based on fractional uncertain differential equations for the first time, which hold more parameter freedom degrees. The Adams numerical method and Adam algorithm are adopted for the optimization problems. The estimation results are compared to show a better forecast. Finally, the predictor–corrector method is adopted to solve the fractional uncertain differential equations. Numerical solutions are demonstrated with varied α-paths

A comparison between numerical solutions to fractional differential equations: Adams-type predictor-corrector and multi-step generalized differential transform method

In this note, two numerical methods of solving fractional differential equations (FDEs) are briefly described, namely predictor-corrector approach of Adams-Bashforth-Moulton type and multi-step generalized differential transform method (MSGDTM), and then a demonstrating example is given to compare the results of the methods. It is shown that the MSGDTM, which is an enhancement of the generalized differential transform method, neglects the effect of non-local structure of fractional differentiation operators and fails to accurately solve the FDEs over large domains.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
