Singular Cauchy Problem for a Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equation

Abstract

The paper studies a nonlinear equation including both fractional and ordinary derivatives. The singular Cauchy problem is considered. The theorem of the existence of uniqueness of a solution in the neighborhood of a fixed singular point of algebraic type is proved. An analytical approximate solution is built, an a priori estimate is obtained. A formula for calculating the area where the proven theorem works is obtained. The theoretical results are confirmed by a numerical experiment in both digital and graphical versions. The technology of optimizing an a priori error using an a posteriori error is demonstrated.
