We study singular fractional differential equations in spaces of analytic functions. We reformulate the equation as a cordial Volterra integral equation of the second kind and use results from the theory of cordial Volterra integral equations. This enables us to obtain conditions under which the equation has a unique analytic solution. Note that the smooth solution in this case is unique without any initial conditions; in fact, giving initial conditions usually results in nonsmooth solution. We also consider approximate solution of these equations and prove exponential convergence of approximate solutions to the exact solution.
