Abstract

In the present paper, we apply the Bezier curves method for solving fractional optimal
control problems (OCPs) and fractional Riccati differential equations. The main advantage of this
method is that it can reduce the error of the approximate solutions. Hence, the solutions obtained
using the Bezier curve method give good approximations. Some numerical examples are provided
to confirm the accuracy of the proposed method. All of the numerical computations have been per-
formed on a PC using several programs written in MAPLE 13.
