On the convergence of spline collocation methods for solving fractional differential equations. (English) Zbl 1217.65154
This paper is concerned with the convergence of spline collocation solutions to a class of multi-term fractional differential equations. These results are applied to the convergence analysis of a polynomial spline collocation method for the numerical treatment of these problems. Global convergence estimates of solutions are also established. Numerical results are developed in the final part of the paper.
