Abstract In this paper, a new spectral algorithm for solving linear and nonlinear fractional-order initial value problems is established. The key idea for obtaining the suggested spectral numerical solutions for these equations is actually based on utilizing the ultraspherical wavelets along with applying the collocation method to reduce the fractional differential equation with its initial conditions into a system of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations in the unknown expansion coefficients. The convergence and error analysis of the suggested ultraspherical wavelets expansion are carefully discussed. For the sake of testing the proposed algorithm, some numerical examples are considered. The numerical results indicate… More >

Abstract A fractional-order model for the immunological and therapeutic control of HIV is studied qualitatively. The equilibria are found and their local stability are investigated. Also the global stability of the infection-free equilibrium is established. The optimal efficacy level of anti-retroviral therapy needed to eradicate HIV from the body of an HIV-infected individual is obtained. More >
