NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE FRACTIONAL LANGEVIN EQUATION

ABSTRACT
In this paper, we study the fractional Langevin equation, whose derivative is in Caputo sense. By using the derived numerical algorithm, we obtain the displacement and the mean square displacement which describe the dynamic behaviors of the fractional Langevin equation.
