| Abstract: | In the present paper we construct the cubic B-spline operational matrix of fractional derivative in the Caputo sense, and use it to solve fractional differential equation. The main characteristic of the approach is that it overcomes the computational difficulty induced by the memory effect. There is no need to save and call all historic information, which can save memory space and reduce computational complexity. Numerical results demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method to solve fractional differential equation. The results from this method are good in terms of accuracy. |
