Abstract
In this paper, we solve a class of fractional variational problems (FVPs) by using operational matrix of fractional integration which derived from second order spline (B-spline) basis function. The fractional derivative is defined in the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator. The B-spline function with unknown coefficients and B-spline operational matrix of integration are used to replace the fractional derivative which is in the performance index. Next, we applied the method of constrained extremum which involved a set of Lagrange multipliers. As a result, we get a system of algebraic equations which can be solve easily. Hence, the value for unknown coefficients of B-spline function is obtained as well as the solution for the FVPs. Finally, the illustrative examples shown the validity and applicability of this method to solve FVPs.
