Numerical Method for the Solution of Logistic Differential Equations of Fractional Order

Hatıra Günerhan

Mathematics Department, Faculty of Education, Kafkas University, Kars, Turkey

Abstract: In this paper, Numerical solution of Fractional Order Logistic Equations is considered by fractional differential transform method (FDTM). The method provides the solution quickly in the form of a convergent series. Our method reduces the computational difficulties existing in the other traditional methods. To show the efficacy of the results, two examples are considered.

Keywords: fractional differential transform method (FDTM), Fractional Order Logistic Equations (FOLE), Caputo fractional derivative

1. Introduction

In recent years, fractional modeling and fractional differential equations has been used widely to deal with some engineering and industrial problems. The applications of fractional calculus can be studied in many scientific disciplines based on mathematical modeling including physics, chemistry, aerodynamics, signal processing, electrodynamics, economics, biophysics, polymer rheology, blood flow phenomena, control theory and many others. For this reason this area caught the interest of many researchers recently. Fractional derivative is a powerful tool which has been recently employed to model complex biological systems with non-linear behavior and long-term memory [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Most nonlinear fractional differential equations may not be solved analytically, alternatively approximations and numerical approaches should be used for them.

The fractional Logistic model can be obtained by applying the fractional derivative operator to the Logistic equation. As known, Pierre F. Verhulst introduced the nonlinear term into the rate equation and obtained what today is known as the logistic equation [8]

Here we consider the fractional order version of the standard logistic equation as [9]

with an initial condition

Fractional order logistic equation (FOLE) has no known exact solution yet [10,11,12]. So we study on the numerical solution of the equation.

The DTM was firstly proposed by Zhou [13] for solving linear and nonlinear initial value problems in electric circuit. The DTM is numerical method based on Taylor series expansion, which constitute a polynomial form of analytic solution. So indeed the DTM obtains a polynomial series solution by means of an iterative procedure [14]. DTM is used in many studies related to differential or partial differential equations [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22].

The differential transform method is an analytic method based on the Taylor series expansion which constructs an analytical solution in the form of a polynomial. The traditional high order Taylor series method requires symbolic computation. However, the FDTM obtains a polynomial series solution by means of an iterative procedure. The proposed method is based on the combination of the classical one dimensional FDTM and generalized Taylor’s Table 1 formula.

2. Basic Definitions

Definition 1. A real function is said to be in the space if there exists a real number such that where Clearly if

Definition 2. A function is said to be in the space if

Several definitions have been made to define the fractional derivative and continuous to be done. Most popular definitions in this area are the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo.

Definition 3. The Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator of order a of a function, is defined as

The Riemann–Liouville derivative has certain disadvantages when trying to model real world phenomena with fractional differential equations. Therefore, we shall introduce a modified fractional differential operator proposed by Caputo (1967) in his work on the theory of viscoelasticity.

The fractional differentiation in Riemann–Liouville sense is defined see [23]

for Let us expand the analytical and continuous function in terms of a fractional power series as follows:

[picture] | (10)

where α is the order of fraction and is the fractional differential transform of In order to avoid fractional initial and boundary conditions, we define the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense. The relation between the Riemann–Liouville operator and Caputo operator is given by

Substituting

in Eq. (9), we obtain fractional derivative in the Caputo sense as:

the transformation of the initial conditions are defined as follows:

Some basic properties of the fractional differential transform method are introduced in Table 1.

By using the differential inverse reduced transform of we get

By substituting into Equation (18), we have

the closed form solution will be as follows:

5. Conclusion

In this paper, the fractional differential transform method (FDTM) has been utilized to solve fractional order differential equation. The results obtained by the method are in good compatible with the given exact solutions for The study show that the method is effective and suitable techniques to solve fractional order logistic equations. On the other hand the results are quite reliable for solving this problem.
