The definition of the fractional derivative is

,

for and , and

,

where is any postive integer greater than .

This Demonstration solves numerically the following ordinary fractional differential equation:

(1) ,

where ,

,

(2) .

Here and are parameters, is a dependent variable, and is an independent variable.

The discretization of equations (1) and (2) are

, ,

with , where is the gamma function.
