Abstract
In this paper, Bernstein polynomials method is proposed for the numerical solution of a class of space-time fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. This method combines the definition of fractional derivatives with some properties of Bernstein polynomials and are dispersed the coefficients efficaciously. The main characteristic behind this method is that the original problem is translated into a Sylvester equation. Only a small number of Bernstein polynomials are needed to obtain a satisfactory result. Numerical examples show that the method is effective.Keywords
