A method for solving nonlinear Volterra’s population growth model of noninteger order

Abstract

Abstract Many numerical methods have been developed for nonlinear fractional integro-differential Volterra’s population model (FVPG). In these methods, to approximate a function on a particular interval, only a restricted number of points have been employed. In this research, we show that it is possible to use the fuzzy transform method (F-transform) to tackle with FVPG. It makes the F-transform preferable to other methods since it can make full use of all points on this interval. We also make a comparison showing that this method is less computational and is more convenient to be utilized for coping with nonlinear integro-differential equation (IDEs), fractional nonlinear integro-differential equation (FIDEs), and fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs).
