Abstract: A Chebyshev collocation method is derived for the numerical approximation of distributed order differential equations in the Caputo sense. The numerical scheme is valid for both initial and boundary value problems. An error analysis is provided and illustrated through some numerical examples.

Keywords: Caputo derivative; Chebyshev polynomials; collocation; distributed order differential equations; Chebyshev spectral approximation.
