Abstract

A highly efficient and accurate numerical method for systems of fractional differential equations (FDEs) with rational order is presented in this paper. Rational power functions and rational Taylor series projection are utilized to obtain approximate solutions. Rational semi-smooth spaces are introduced, and the regularity of solutions in these spaces is established. A series of theoretical results, such as the existence and uniqueness of solutions, properties of the rational Taylor series and its remainder term, and an operational matrix approach, are derived. It is proven that the numerical solution is exact when the exact solution is a rational power series, and the approximate solution is shown to be the rational Taylor series projection of the exact solution. The convergence of the method is analyzed. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical experiments, which show significant improvements in computational time compared to existing methods.
