The proposed method, the ARA-Residual Power Series Method (ARA-RPSM), is a combination of the ARA transform and the residual power series method and is implemented to construct series solutions for dispersive fractional differential equations. The convergence analysis of the new method is proven and shown theoretically. To validate the simplicity and applicability of this method, we introduce some examples. For measuring the accuracy of the method, we make a comparison with other methods, such as the Runge\u2013Kutta, Chebyshev polynomial, and variational iterative methods. Finally, the numerical results are demonstrated graphically.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14010050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,9]],"date-time":"2022-01-09T23:35:09Z","timestamp":1641771309000},"page":"50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A Novel Numerical Approach in Solving Fractional Neutral Pantograph Equations via the ARA Integral Transform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1649-1073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aliaa","family":"Burqan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Zarqa University, Zarqa 13132, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6394-1452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rania","family":"Saadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Zarqa University, Zarqa 13132, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8404-3897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmad","family":"Qazza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Zarqa University, Zarqa 13132, Jordan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"671","article-title":"About the Solution Stability of Volterra Integral Equation with Random Kernel","volume":"100","author":"Qazza","year":"2016","journal-title":"Far East J.
