Abstract
In this paper, we develop an accurate collocation scheme for ordinary initial value problems of the Caputo type and in order to illustrate the performance of the method we provide several numerical examples. At the end, we also indicate how this method can be used to approximate the solution of time-fractional diffusion equations. At it will be seen, it allows us to obtain accurate solutions even when the solution is not smooth at the origin.
