Two schemes to find approximated solutions of optimal control problems of fractional order (FOCPs) are investigated. Integration and differentiation matrices were used in these schemes. These schemes used Chebyshev polynomials in the shifted case as a functional approximation. The target of the presented schemes is to convert such problems to optimization problems (OPs). Numerical examples are included, showing the strength of the schemes.

In this paper, a new set of functions called fractional-order Boubaker functions is defined for solving the delay fractional optimal control problems with a quadratic performance index. To solve the problem, first we obtain the operational matrix of the Caputo fractional derivative of these functions and the operational matrix of multiplication to solve the nonlinear problems for the first time. Also, a general formulation for the delay operational matrix of these functions has been achieved. Then we utilized these matrices to solve delay fractional optimal control problems directly. In fact, the delay fractional optimal control problem converts to an optimization problem, which can then be easily solved with the aid of the Gauss–Legendre integration formula and Newton’s iterative method. Convergence of the algorithm is proved. The applicability of the method is shown by some examples; moreover, a comparison with the existing results shows the preference of this method.

The main purpose of this paper is to provide an efficient method for solving some types of fractional optimal control problems governed by integro-differential and differential equations, and because finding the analytical solutions to these problems is usually difficult, a numerical method is proposed. In this study, the fractional-order Bernoulli functions (F-BFs) are applied as basis functions and a new operational matrix of fractional integration is constructed for these functions. In the first step, the problem is transformed into an equivalent variational problem. Then the F-BFs, the constructed operational matrix, the Gauss quadrature formula, and necessary conditions for optimization are used to convert the problem into a system of algebraic equations. Finally, with the aid of Newton’s iterative method, the system of algebraic equations is solved and the approximate solution of the problem is obtained. Several numerical examples have been analysed for illustrating the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method, and the results have been compared with the exact solutions and the results of other methods. The results show that the method provides accurate solutions.
