Abstract

In this paper, the piecewise polynomial collocation methods are used for solving the fractional integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels. We present that a suitable transformation can convert fractional integro-differential equations to one type of second kind Volterra integral equations (VIEs) with weakly singular kernels. Then we solve the VIEs by standard piecewise polynomial collocation methods. It is shown that such kinds of methods are able to yield optimal convergence rate. Finally, some numerical experiments are given to show that the numerical results are consistent with the theoretical results.
