Abstract
In this paper, we developed an efficient Adams-type predictor–corrector (PC) approach for the numerical solution of fractional differential equations (FDEs) with a power law kernel. The main idea of the proposed approach is to use a linear approximation to the nonlinear problem and then implement finite difference approximations of derivatives. Numerical comparisons with the fractional Adams method are made and simulation results are demonstrated to evaluate the approximation error of the proposed approach. The efficiency of this approach has been depicted by presenting numerical solutions of some test fractional calculus models. Numerical simulation of a fractional Lotka–Volterra model is provided, as a case study, using the proposed approach. The advantage of the proposed approach lies in its flexibility in providing approximate numerical solutions with high accuracy.
