Abstract

In this review paper, approximation methods for the free final time of fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) are displayed. The considered problems mainly include the fractional differential equations (FDEs) with fractional derivatives (FDs). In this way, the considered tools and techniques mainly include the necessary optimal conditions in the form of two-point boundary value (TPBV) problem of fractional order. The Legendre operational, Ritz method and the Jacobi, Bernoulli and Legendre polynomials are extended as numerical methods for FOCPs accordingly. At the same time, the techniques for improving the accuracy and computation and storage are also introduced.
