文摘A framework to obtain numerical solution of the fractional partial differential equation using Bernstein polynomials is presented. The main characteristic behind this approach is that a fractional order operational matrix of Bernstein polynomials is derived. With the operational matrix, the equation is transformed into the products of several dependent matrixes which can also be regarded as the system of linear equations after dispersing the variable. By solving the linear equations, the numerical solutions are acquired. Only a small number of Bernstein polynomials are needed to obtain a satisfactory result. Numerical examples are provided to show that the method is computationally efficient.
