A Gauss-Jacobi Kernel Compression Scheme for Fractional Differential Equations

Abstract

A scheme for approximating the kernel $w$ of the fractional $\alpha$-integral by a linear combination of exponentials is proposed and studied. The scheme is based on the application of a composite Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule to an integral representation of $w$. This results in an approximation of $w$ in an interval $[\delta ,T]$, with $0<\delta$, which converges rapidly in the number $J$ of quadrature nodes associated with each interval of the composite rule. Using error analysis for Gauss-Jacobi quadratures for analytic functions, an estimate of the relative pointwise error is obtained. The estimate shows that the number of terms required for the approximation to satisfy a prescribed error tolerance is bounded for all $\alpha \in (0,1)$, and that $J$ is bounded for $\alpha \in (0,1)$, $T>0$, and $\delta \in (0,T)$.
