The paper presents a new method called the Polynomial Least Squares Method (PLSM) PLSM allows us to compute approximateanalytical solutions for the Brusselator system which is a fractional-order system of nonlinear differential equations
1 Introduction
In recent years in many practical applications in variousfields such as physicsmechanics chemistry and biology (seeeg [1ndash6]) the problems being studied are modeled usingfractional nonlinear equations
Formost of such fractional nonlinear equations the exactsolutions cannot be found and as a consequence a numericalsolution or if possible an analytical approximate solution ofthese equations is sought
Due to the complexity of this type of problems a generalapproximation algorithm does not exist and thus variousapproximation methods each with its strong and weakpoints were proposed including among others
(i) the Adomian Decomposition Method [7ndash9](ii) the Homotopy Analysis Method [10ndash12](iii) the Homotopy Perturbation Method [13 14](iv) the Laplace TransformMethod [15 16](v) the Fourier TransformMethod [17](vi) the Variational Iteration Method [18ndash20]
The objective of our paper is to present the PolynomialLeast Squares Method (PLSM) which allows us to computeapproximate analytical solutions for the Brusselator system
The fractional order Brusselator system was recently studiedby several authors [21ndash23] and can be expressed as follows
We consider the following Brusselator system
1198631205721
119905119909 (119905) = 119886 minus (120583 + 1) sdot 119909 (119905) + 119909 (119905)

In the next section we will introduce PLSM for theBrusselator system and in the third section we will comparethe approximate solutions obtained by using PLSM with theapproximate solutions from [20] The computations showthat the approximations computed by using our methodpresent an error smaller than the error of the correspondingsolutions from [20]

3 Application the Fractional-OrderBrusselator System
We consider the following fractional-order Brusselator sys-tem [20]
1198631205721
119905119909 (119905) = minus2 sdot 119909 (119905) + 119909 (119905)

sdot 119910 (119905)
1198631205722
119905119910 (119905) = 119909 (119905) minus 119909 (119905)
2
sdot 119910 (119905)
(16)
together with the initial conditions
119909 (0) = 1 119910 (0) = 1 (17)
In [20] approximate solutions of (17) are computed usingthe Variational Iteration Method (VIM) for the case 120572
1=
1205722
= 098 Also a comparison with numerical solutions ispresented for the particular case 120572
1= 1205722= 1 illustrating the
applicability of the method
31 The Case 1205721= 1205722= 098 For the case 120572
1= 1205722= 098
using PLSMwith119898 = 3 we obtain the following approximatepolynomial solutions
119909PLSM (119905) = 00243682 sdot 1199053
+ 0311138 sdot 1199052

+ 0333424 sdot 1199052
+ 00349127 sdot 119905 + 1
(18)
In Figures 1 and 2 we compare these approximationswith the corresponding approximations of the same ordercomputed by VIM (relations (15) in [20]) obtaining a good

32 The Case 1205721
= 1205722
= 1 For the case 1205721
= 1205722
= 1using PLSMwith119898 = 3we obtain the following approximatepolynomial solutions
119909PLSM (119905) = 00750974 sdot 1199053
+ 0201028 sdot 1199052

+ 00271107 sdot 119905 + 1
(19)
In this case both approximations (VIM and PLSM)consist of third-order polynomials
We omitted the figures which compare our approxima-tions with the ones given by VIM since they look almost thesame as the corresponding ones from the case 120572
1= 1205722= 098
However in the case 1205721= 1205722= 1 it is possible to compute
the absolute error corresponding to an approximate solution

Figures 5 and 6 present the comparison between the abso-lute errors corresponding to the approximate solutions from[20] obtained by VIM and the absolute errors correspondingto our approximate solutions
Again it is easy to observe that the errors obtained byusing PLSMare smaller than the ones obtained by usingVIM
4 Conclusions
In this paper we present the Polynomial Least SquaresMethod which is a relatively straightforward and efficientmethod to compute approximate solutions for the fractional-order Brusselator system
The comparison with previous results illustrates theaccuracy of the method since we were able to compute moreprecise approximations than the previously computed ones
In closing we mention the fact that due to the nature ofthemethod it is relatively easy to extendPLSM for the general

3 Application the Fractional-OrderBrusselator System
We consider the following fractional-order Brusselator sys-tem [20]
1198631205721
119905119909 (119905) = minus2 sdot 119909 (119905) + 119909 (119905)

sdot 119910 (119905)
1198631205722
119905119910 (119905) = 119909 (119905) minus 119909 (119905)
2
sdot 119910 (119905)
(16)
together with the initial conditions
119909 (0) = 1 119910 (0) = 1 (17)
In [20] approximate solutions of (17) are computed usingthe Variational Iteration Method (VIM) for the case 120572
1=
1205722
= 098 Also a comparison with numerical solutions ispresented for the particular case 120572
1= 1205722= 1 illustrating the
applicability of the method
31 The Case 1205721= 1205722= 098 For the case 120572
1= 1205722= 098
using PLSMwith119898 = 3 we obtain the following approximatepolynomial solutions
119909PLSM (119905) = 00243682 sdot 1199053
+ 0311138 sdot 1199052

+ 00349127 sdot 119905 + 1
(18)
In Figures 1 and 2 we compare these approximationswith the corresponding approximations of the same ordercomputed by VIM (relations (15) in [20]) obtaining a good

32 The Case 1205721
= 1205722
= 1 For the case 1205721
= 1205722
= 1using PLSMwith119898 = 3we obtain the following approximatepolynomial solutions
119909PLSM (119905) = 00750974 sdot 1199053

(19)
In this case both approximations (VIM and PLSM)consist of third-order polynomials
We omitted the figures which compare our approxima-tions with the ones given by VIM since they look almost thesame as the corresponding ones from the case 120572
1= 1205722= 098
However in the case 1205721= 1205722= 1 it is possible to compute
the absolute error corresponding to an approximate solution

Figures 5 and 6 present the comparison between the abso-lute errors corresponding to the approximate solutions from[20] obtained by VIM and the absolute errors correspondingto our approximate solutions
Again it is easy to observe that the errors obtained byusing PLSMare smaller than the ones obtained by usingVIM
4 Conclusions
In this paper we present the Polynomial Least SquaresMethod which is a relatively straightforward and efficientmethod to compute approximate solutions for the fractional-order Brusselator system
The comparison with previous results illustrates theaccuracy of the method since we were able to compute moreprecise approximations than the previously computed ones
In closing we mention the fact that due to the nature ofthemethod it is relatively easy to extendPLSM for the general

sdot 119910 (119905)
(16)
together with the initial conditions
119909 (0) = 1 119910 (0) = 1 (17)
In [20] approximate solutions of (17) are computed usingthe Variational Iteration Method (VIM) for the case 120572
1=
1205722
= 098 Also a comparison with numerical solutions ispresented for the particular case 120572
1= 1205722= 1 illustrating the
applicability of the method
31 The Case 1205721= 1205722= 098 For the case 120572
1= 1205722= 098
using PLSMwith119898 = 3 we obtain the following approximatepolynomial solutions
119909PLSM (119905) = 00243682 sdot 1199053
+ 0311138 sdot 1199052
minus 108655 sdot 119905 + 1

+ 0333424 sdot 1199052
+ 00349127 sdot 119905 + 1
(18)
In Figures 1 and 2 we compare these approximationswith the corresponding approximations of the same ordercomputed by VIM (relations (15) in [20]) obtaining a good

32 The Case 1205721
= 1205722
= 1 For the case 1205721
= 1205722
= 1using PLSMwith119898 = 3we obtain the following approximatepolynomial solutions
119909PLSM (119905) = 00750974 sdot 1199053
+ 0201028 sdot 1199052
minus 102827 sdot 119905 + 1

+ 00271107 sdot 119905 + 1
(19)
In this case both approximations (VIM and PLSM)consist of third-order polynomials
We omitted the figures which compare our approxima-tions with the ones given by VIM since they look almost thesame as the corresponding ones from the case 120572
1= 1205722= 098
However in the case 1205721= 1205722= 1 it is possible to compute
the absolute error corresponding to an approximate solution

Figures 5 and 6 present the comparison between the abso-lute errors corresponding to the approximate solutions from[20] obtained by VIM and the absolute errors correspondingto our approximate solutions
Again it is easy to observe that the errors obtained byusing PLSMare smaller than the ones obtained by usingVIM
4 Conclusions
In this paper we present the Polynomial Least SquaresMethod which is a relatively straightforward and efficientmethod to compute approximate solutions for the fractional-order Brusselator system
The comparison with previous results illustrates theaccuracy of the method since we were able to compute moreprecise approximations than the previously computed ones
In closing we mention the fact that due to the nature ofthemethod it is relatively easy to extendPLSM for the general
