Cover Story: In this paper, we propose a global numerical method for approximating the Caputo fractional derivatives Dαf with m − 1 < α ≤ m, m ∈ N. We approximate f (m) by the m-th derivative of a Lagrange polynomial, interpolating f at Jacobi zeros and some additional nodes suitably chosen to have optimal Lebsegue constants. Error estimates in a uniform norm are provided, showing that the rate of convergence is related to the smoothness of the function f according to the best polynomial approximation error and depending on order α. As an application, we approximate the solution of a Volterra integral equation, equivalent in some sense to the Bagley–Torvik initial value problem, using a Nyström-type method. Finally, some numerical tests are presented to assess the performance of the procedure.
