Numerical study of nonlinear singular fractional differential equations arising in biology by operational matrix of shifted Legendre polynomials

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new computational method for solving nonlinear singular boundary value problems of fractional order arising in biology. To this end, we apply the operational matrices of derivatives of shifted Legendre polynomials to reduce such problems to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. To demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented method, we present some numerical examples.
