Abstract

In this paper we present a family of explicit formulas for the numerical solution of differential equations of fractional order. The proposed methods are obtained by modifying, in a suitable way, Fractional-Adams-Moulton methods and they represent a way for extending classical Adams-Bashforth multistep methods to the fractional case. The attention is hence focused on the investigation of stability properties. Intervals of stability for k-step methods, k=1,...,5, are computed and plots of stability regions in the complex plane are presented.
