Systems of nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations of arbitrary order

Abstract

In this paper, a new approximate method for solving of systems of nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations of arbitrary (integer and fractional) order is introduced. For this purpose, the generalized fractional order of the Chebyshev orthogonal functions (GFCFs) based on the classical Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind has been introduced that can be used to obtain the solution of the integro-differential equations (IDEs). Also, we construct the fractional derivative operational matrix of order $\alpha$ in the Caputo's definition for GFCFs. This method reduced a system of IDEs by collocation method into a system of algebraic equations. Some examples to illustrate the simplicity and the effectiveness of the propose method have been presented.
