Abstract

In this paper we present a product quadrature rule for Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernels based on the generalized Adams methods. The formulas represent numerical solvers for fractional differential equations, which inherit the linear stability properties already known for the integer order case. The numerical experiments confirm the valuable properties of this approach.
