This method not only effectively handles the weak singularity near the initial point but also reduces errors associated with large intervals in traditional graded meshes. We prove the error estimates in detail for both 0<α<1 and 1<α<2 cases, where α is the order of the Caputo fractional derivative. Numerical experiments confirm the convergence of the proposed method and compare its performance with the traditional graded mesh approach.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Fractional Adams methodCaputo fractional derivativeModified graded meshNonlinear fractional differential equationsNumerical methodsArticle2227-7390Mathematics2025-03-1713
