Summary:This paper discusses the applications of numerical inversion of the Laplace transform method based on the Bernstein operational matrix to find the solution to a class of fractional differential equations. By the use of Laplace transform, fractional differential equations are firstly converted to system of algebraic equations then the numerical inverse of a Laplace transform is adopted to find the unknown function in the equation by expanding it in a Bernstein series. The advantages and computational implications of the proposed technique are discussed and verified in some numerical examples by comparing the results with some existing methods. We have also combined our technique to the standard Laplace Adomian decomposition method for solving nonlinear fractional order differential equations. The method is given with error estimation and convergence criterion that exclude the validity of our method.
