Abstract
We construct and justify a high order method for the numerical solution of multi-point boundary value problems for linear multi-term fractional differential equations involving Caputo-type fractional derivatives. Using an integral equation reformulation of the boundary value problem we first regularize the solution by a suitable smoothing transformation. After that we solve the transformed equation by a piecewise polynomial collocation method on a mildly graded or uniform grid. Optimal global convergence estimates are derived and a superconvergence result for a special choice of collocation parameters is established. To illustrate the reliability of the proposed method some numerical results are given.
