Warning

This package is currently in development and very experimental (the API can and will change frequently for the foreseeable future). For more mature libraries see differint in Python or FractionalDiffEq.jl in Julia.

This package provides tools to (numerically) compute fractional order derivatives and integrals. It offers functionality to (non-exhaustive)

  • Evaluate Caputo fractional-order derivatives of real orders.

  • Evaluate Riemann-Liouville fractional-order integrals of arbitrary real orders.

  • Solve single-term systems of fractional-order ordinary differential equation.

  • Easily extend this functionality with new numerical methods.

At the moment, performance is not an important focus, but fractional-order operators are generally more computationally intensive than their integer-order counterparts. Once a solid framework is worked out, more care will be given to this aspect as well.
