A family of Adams exponential integrators for fractional linear systems

The numerical solution of linear time-invariant systems of fractional order is investigated. We construct a family of exponential integrators of Adams type possessing good convergence and stability properties. The methods are devised in order to keep at a suitable level, the computational effort necessary to solve problems of large size. Numerical experiments are provided to validate the theoretical results; the effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested and compared to some other classical methods.
