Abstract

In this paper, we develop a new application of the Mittag-Leffler function that will extend the application to fractional homogeneous differential equations, and propose a Mittag-Leffler function undetermined coefficient method. A new solution is constructed in power series. When a very simple ordinary differential equation is satisfied, no matter the original equation is linear or nonlinear, the method is valid, then combine the alike terms, compare the coefficient with identical powers, and the undetermined coefficient will be obtained. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. To illustrate the reliability of the method, some examples are provided, and the solutions are in the form of generalized Mittag-Leffler function. The results reveal that the approach introduced here are very effective and convenient for solving homogeneous differential equations with fractional order.
