Two New Approximations for Variable-Order Fractional Derivatives

We introduced a parameter σ(t) which was related to α(t); then two numerical schemes for variable-order Caputo fractional derivatives were derived; the second-order numerical approximation to variable-order fractional derivatives α(t)∈(0,1) and 3-α(t)-order approximation for α(t)∈(1,2) are establish...
