Python Toolkit for Non-integer Calculus

Abstract

Translate Article

Fractional calculus is an important modern tool in modeling related to natural sciences and pure mathematics. In this paper a Python library for non-integer calculus is presented. It is aimed at facilitating calculations in practice. Python Non-Integer order Calculus Toolkit (PyNICT) is a small software bundle that uses symbolic calculations for fractional and distributed fractional order derivatives, numerical methods for ordinary and fractional differential equations, as well as some related mathematical functions such as the Mittag-Leffler. The symbolic approach has an advantage of providing analytical form of calculated derivatives which facilitates understanding.
