Approximating the solutions of fractional differential equations with a novel and more efficient iteration procedure
摘要
This paper introduces a new iterative method to find fixed points of contractive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. The method is proven to be stable and shows faster convergence than existing methods by Thakur, Piri, Ullah, and Harmouchi, as demonstrated through numerical examples and MATLAB plots. A detailed comparison highlights how different parameters affect convergence. We also establish a new result on data dependence using an approximate operator. Finally, the method is applied to solve a Caputo-type fractional differential equation, relevant to real-world problems in viscoelasticity, anomalous diffusion, and electrical circuits.
