Matrix approach to discretization of ODEs and PDEs of arbitrary real order 1.0

This submission contains the basic functions that are necessary for using the matrix approach to discretization of fractional differential equations, and demos. The method is described in the following articles:[1] I. Podlubny, "Matrix approach to discrete fractional calculus", Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, vol. 3, no. 4, 2000, pp. 359-386 (http://people.tuke.sk/igor.podlubny/pspdf/ma2dfc.pdf ).[2] I.

The examples include: evaluation of integer-order derivatives; evaluation of left-sided and right-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives; evaluation of symmetric fractional derivatives (symmetric Riesz derivatives); solution of a fractional integral equation with Riesz kernel; solution of an ordinary fractional differential equation (the Bagley-Torvik equation); solution of a partial fractional differential equation (fractional diffusion equation); solution of a partial fractional differential equation with delayed fractional derivatives (fractional diffusion equation with delayed fractional derivative).(2) Added two demo functions (bagleytorvikequation.m and rieszpotential.m)(3) Updated the title of this submission by adding the words "of arbitrary real order".======================Update notes 2008-12-04:(1) Corrected typos in the description.(2) Deleted unused files in 'html' directory.(3) Low quality PNG images of equations in the tutorial, that were generated by Matlab when "publishing to HTML", are replaced with PNG images of good quality obtained using TeX.======================Update notes 2009-01-07:Spelling corrections in the "published m-file" and in descriptions inside the functions.======================Update notes 2009-02-05:Added journal reference.======================Update notes 2009-04-24:Updated function fracdiffdemou.m(thanks to Dr. Mridula Garg, University of Rajasthan)
