MS received 28 January 2020; revised 12 May 2020; accepted 1 July 2020 Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a numerical technique to solve fractional variational problems (FVPs). These problems are based on Caputo fractional derivatives. Rayleigh–Ritz method is used in this technique. First we approximate the objective function by the trapezoidal rule. Then, the unknown function is expanded in terms of the Bernstein polynomials. By this method, a system of algebraic equations is driven. We provide examples to show the effectiveness of this technique, which is considered in the current study. Keywords. Fractional variational problems; Bernstein polynomials; Rayleigh–Ritz method.

1. Introduction

FVPs. A new approach based on operational matrix for this type of problems was carried out by Eldien [20]. In Fractional calculus is a generalisation of classical 2017, Eldein et al [21] published a paper in which they calculus, and it has a long mathematical history. Recently, derived numerical solutions of FVPs using shifted Legthere has been a huge interest in the field of fractional endre polynomials. A numerical scheme is utilised to calculus.
