Numerical approximation of a generalized time fractional partial integro-differential equation of Volterra type based on a meshless method

Abstract

The moving least squares (MLS) approximation is used in this study to solve time-fractional partial integro-differential equations (TFPIDE). In our approach, we approximate the time Caputo fractional derivative term and the integral term by using a finite difference scheme and trapezoidal method, respectively, which yields an order of accuracy of O(τ+τ2−α), where 0<α<1. We thoroughly investigate the applicability and validity of the proposed method and provide an error estimate for its performance. Additionally, we solve various numerical problems to demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of our approach, confirming the theoretical findings.
