Abstract

The order of fractional differential equations (FDEs) has been proved to be of great importance in an accurate simulation of the system under study. In this paper, the orders of some classes of linear FDEs are determined by using the asymptotic behaviour of their solutions. Specifically, it is demonstrated that the decay rate of the solutions is influenced by the order of fractional derivatives. Numerical investigations are conducted into the proven formulas.
