New method for solving fractional partial integro-differential equations by combination of Laplace transform and resolvent kernel method

Abstract

In this article, we obtained the approximate solution for a new class of Time-Fractional Partial Integro-Differential Equation (TFPIDE) of the Caputo-Volterra type in which the integral is not limited to the convolution type. This new class of TFPIDE is distinct from the common problem with the convolution integral kernel. The general expression of the analytical solution for this special type of TFPIDE was derived using a combination of Laplace transform and the resolvent kernel method. In the process, Laplace transform will transform the equation into a second kind Volterra integral equation in terms of the transformed function. Two main problems in deriving the approximate analytical solutions were identified as Case I and Case II problems. To obtain the approximate solutions for Case I and Case II problems, numerical methods were designed based on approximation of the resolvent kernel with truncated Neumann series as well as approximation of the Laplace transform based on truncated Taylor series. Several numerical examples are presented to indicate the plausibility, mechanism and performance of the proposed methods.
