Description
The FCC package overcomes several limitations of current numerical methods for solving linear FDEs.
For instance, the FCC method can be used for linear incommensurate order FDEs and it does not require
to be in canonical form. The essence of the method is that a discretization of the solution at the Chebyshev
Gauss-Lobatto collocation points results in having spectral convergence and smaller computation time
compared to finite difference methods. To accomplish this, a fractional differentiation matrix is derived
at the Chebyshev Gauss-Lobatto collocation points by using the discrete orthogonal relationship of the
Chebyshev polynomials. Then, using two proposed discretization operators for matrix functions results in
an explicit form of solution for a system of linear FDEs with discrete delays. Moreover, it is shown that
the proposed method can treat two common classes of linear FDEs: a system of linear commensurate order
FDEs and a system of linear fractional-order delay-differential equations.
