Abstract

‎This paper provides the fractional derivatives of‎ ‎the Caputo type for the sinc functions‎. ‎It allows to use efficient‎ ‎numerical method for solving fractional differential equations‎. ‎At‎ ‎first‎, ‎some properties of the sinc functions and Legendre‎ ‎polynomials required for our subsequent development are given‎. ‎Then‎ ‎we use the Legendre polynomials to approximate the fractional‎ ‎derivatives of sinc functions‎. ‎Some numerical examples are‎ ‎introduced to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the‎ ‎introduced method‎.
