Abstract

An important equation usually used in modeling neuronal dynamics is cable equation. In this work, a numerical method for the fractional cable equation which involves two Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives is proposed. Our computational technique is based on collocation idea where a combination of Bernoulli polynomials and Sinc functions are used to approximate the solution to this problem. The constructed approximation by our method convert the fractional cable equation into a set of algebraic equations. Also, we provide two numerical examples to confirm the accuracy and effectiveness of the present method.
