Abstract

In this paper we use Adomian decomposition method to solve systems of nonlinear fractional differential equations and a linear multi-term fractional differential equation by reducing it to a system of fractional equations each of order at most unity. We begin by showing how the decomposition method applies to a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations and give two examples to illustrate the efficiency of the method. Moreover, we show how the method can be applied to a general linear multi-term equation and solve several applied problems.
