Abstract

In this paper, a numerical method based on the Lagrangian piece-wise interpolation is proposed to solve variable-order fractal-fractional time delay equations with power law, exponential decay and Mittag-Leffler memories. These operators permit to describe physical phenomena with variable memory and fractal variable dimension. Numerical methods were applied to simulate the variable-order time delay Mackey–Glass and synaptically coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo models. Our numerical simulations display several new attractors.
