Simpson's method for fractional differential equations with a non-singular kernel applied to a chaotic tumor model

Abstract

This manuscript is devoted to describing a novel numerical scheme to solve differential equations of fractional order with a non-singular kernel namely, Caputo-Fabrizio. First, we have transformed the fractional order differential equation to the corresponding integral equation, then the fractional integral equation is approximated by using the Simpson's quadrature 3/8 rule. The stability of the proposed numerical scheme and its convergence is analyzed. Further, a cancer growth Caputo-Fabrizio model is solved using the newly proposed numerical method. Moreover, the numerical results are provided for different values of the fractional-order within some special cases of model parameters.
