Abstract
We develop two fast memory saving methods for calculating the fractional integral and derivative operators.
Fast Method I is based on a local approximation for the contour integral that represents the convolution weight. Fast Method II is based on a globally uniform approximation of the trapezoidal rule for the integral on the real line. Both methods are efficient, but numerical experimentation reveals that Fast Method II outperforms Fast Method I in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and coding simplicity for dealing with the fractional derivative operator. Our fast method simplifies the existing one [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 28 (2006), pp. 421–438].
