Abstract

In this work, we extend the Jacobi spectral approximation to the boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional pantograph differential equations. First, the differential equation is equivalently restated as a Volterra-Fredholm integral equation. Second, we introduce the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the problem. Then, the Jacobi-Gauss points and the Jacobi-Gauss quadrature formula are used to solve the obtained integral equation. The error estimates for the proposed scheme are investigated under the \(L^{\infty }\) norm and the weighted L2 norm. Finally, two illustrative examples are included to confirm our analysis.
