Preface:
This assignment explores the construction and application of Green’s functions for
fractional differential equations (FDEs). Fractional calculus has gained significant
attention due to its ability to model real-world phenomena involving memory and
hereditary properties, such as diffusion in complex materials, biological systems,
and electrical circuits.

The study begins with an introduction to differential equations and boundary value
problems, followed by an in-depth discussion of Green’s functions and their role in
solving such equations. The assignment then focuses on constructing Green’s
functions for fractional differential equations, illustrating their practical use
through analytical methods and MATLAB simulations.

The objective of this work is to enhance the understanding of fractional differential


equations and their solutions using Green’s functions. Through theoretical
derivations and computational modeling, this assignment aims to provide a
comprehensive approach to solving boundary value problems involving fractional
derivatives.

I extend my gratitude to my mentors and peers for their valuable guidance and
discussions, which have helped shape this work.

Introduction:

Differential equations are essential tools for modeling physical, engineering, and
biological systems. In particular, boundary value problems (BVPs) require
solutions that satisfy certain conditions at the boundaries of a domain. A powerful
method for solving such problems is the Green’s function method, which acts as
a fundamental response function for differential equations. This assignment
focuses on the construction of Green’s functions for fractional differential
equations (FDEs) and their application to solving BVPs.

Green’s Function:

A Green’s function is a special function used to solve differential equations,


especially boundary value problems (BVPs). It acts as a response function that
tells us how a system reacts to an applied force.

For example, if we apply a force to a metal rod, the temperature distribution in the
rod depends on how heat spreads. The Green’s function helps describe this
spreading mathematically.

Fractional Differential Equations:

In regular calculus, derivatives have whole-number orders like:

However, in fractional calculus, derivatives can have fractional orders, such as:

A general fractional differential equation (FDE) takes the form:

where:

 is the fractional derivative of order α..


 λ is a constant.

 f(x) is a given function.

Fractional differential equations (FDEs) model real-world systems that have


memory effects, such as:

 Diffusion in materials (heat flow in complex media)


 Electrical circuits (capacitor behavior)
 Biological systems (nerve signal transmission)

Construction of Green’s Function for a Fractional Differential Equation:

We consider the fractional boundary value problem:

with the boundary conditions:

The Green’s function for this problem must satisfy:

We assume the Green’s function has the general form:

where A and B are unknown constants to be determined.

We are given:

Using continuity at

Using the jump condition:

Solving for A and B, we get:

Thus, the final Green’s function is:

Solve the Equation Using Green’s Function

Now, we solve:

Explanation of the Solution:

This solution focuses on solving a fractional differential equation (ODE) with


boundary conditions using an approximate method. The goal is to compute and
visualize the solution numerically.

Conclusion

This assignment explored the construction and application of Green’s functions for
fractional differential equations (FDEs), demonstrating their effectiveness in
solving boundary value problems. Fractional calculus provides a powerful
framework for modeling systems with memory effects, making it highly relevant in
various scientific and engineering fields. By deriving the Green’s function and
implementing numerical solutions using MATLAB, we gained insights into the
behavior of fractional differential equations. The results highlight the importance
of Green’s functions in analytical and computational approaches to solving
complex differential equations. Future research can further extend these methods to
nonlinear and multi-dimensional problems.
