Development of Identification Methods for Fractional Differential Equations with Riemann–Liouville Fractional Derivative

The methods for parametric identification of fractional differential operators with $\alpha \in (1, 2)$ degree according to instantaneous values of experimental observations based on the Barrett differential equation example are suggested. The methods are based on construction of the linear parametrical discrete model for fractional differential equation. The coefficients of the model are associated with the required parameters of differentiation equation of fractional order. Different approaches to the determination of the relationships between the parameters of the differential equation and the discrete model coefficients are considered. Connection expressions for coefficients of linear parametrical discrete model and Cauchy type problem parameters to be identified are obtained. The algorithm of the method which let us reduce the problem to computation of mean-square estimates for coefficients of linear parametrical discrete model is described. Numerical investigations have been done; furthermore, their results let us conclude high efficiency of the methods.
