Bernstein Polynomials for Solving Fractional Differential Equations with Two Parameters

Abstract

This work presents a general framework for solving generalized fractional differential equations based on operational matrices of the generalized Bernstein polynomials. This method effectively obtains approximate analytical solutions of many fractional differential equations. The generalized fractional derivative of the Caputo type with two parameters and its properties are studied. Using orthonormal Bernstein polynomials has led to the development of fractional polynomials, which offer an approximate solution for ordinary fractional differential equations. The approach employs the generalized orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs) and constructs their operational matrices for fractional integration and derivative in the generalized Caputo sense to achieve this objective. Operational matrices convert ordinary differential equations into a system of algebraic equations, which can be solved using Newton’s method. The convergence analysis and error estimate associated with the proposed problem have been investigated using the approximation of generalized orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs). The effect of the new parameters of the fractional derivative is presented in several examples. Finally, several examples are included to clarify the proposed technique’s validity, efficiency, and applicability via generalized orthogonal Bernstein polynomials (FOBPs) approximation.
