In this paper, a new numerical method for solving fractional optimal control problems by using hybrid functions is presented. The Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator for hybrid functions is utilized to reduce the solution of optimal control problems to a nonlinear programming one, to which existing, well-developed algorithms may be applied. The method is computationally very attractive and gives very accurate results.
