Abstract
In this paper a new way to compute analytic approximate polynomial solutions for a class of nonlinear variable order fractional differential equations is proposed, based on the Polynomial Least Squares Method (PLSM). In order to emphasize the accuracy and the efficiency of the method several examples are included.
