We introduce a technique to find the exact solutions ( ) 0 Received in revised form 3 January 2012 of fractional differential equations by using the solutions of integer order differential equations. Generalization of the technique to finite systems is also given. Finally, we give MSC: some examples to illustrate the applications of our results. 23A33 © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
