Purpose This paper aims to suggest the approximate solution of time fractional heat-like and wave-like (TFH-L and W-L) equations with variable coefficients. The proposed scheme shows that the results are very close to the exact solution. Design/methodology/approach First with the help of some basic properties of fractional derivatives, a scheme that has the capability to solve fractional partial differential equations is constructed. Then, TFH-L and W-L equations with variable coefficients are solved by this scheme, which yields results very close to the exact solution. The derived results demonstrate that this scheme is very effective. Finally, the convergence of this method is discussed. Findings A traditional method is combined with the Laplace transform to construct this scheme. To decompose the nonlinear terms, this paper introduces the homotopy perturbation method with He’s polynomials and thus the solution is provided in the form of a series that converges to the exact solution very quickly. Originality/value The proposed approach is original and very effective because this approach is, to the authors’ knowledge, used for the first time very successfully to tackle the fractional partial differential equations, which are of great interest.

We implement relatively analytical methods, the homotopy perturbation method and the variational iteration method, for solving singular fractional partial differential equations of fractional order. The process of the methods which produce solutions in terms of convergent series is explained. The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo sense. Some examples are given to show the accurate and easily implemented of these methods even with the presence of singularities.

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a technique by combining the Shehu transform method and the homotopy perturbation method. This method is called the Shehu transform homotopy method (STHM). This method is used to solve the time-fractional partial differential equations (TFPDEs) with proportional delay. The fractional derivative is described in Caputo's sense. The solutions proposed in the series converge rapidly to the exact solution. Some examples are solved to show the STHM is easy to apply.

AbstractThis work presents a numerical comparison between two efficient methods namely the fractional natural variational iteration method (FNVIM) and the fractional natural homotopy perturbation method (FNHPM) to solve a certain type of nonlinear Caputo time-fractional partial differential equations in particular, nonlinear Caputo time-fractional wave-like equations with variable coefficients. These two methods provided an accurate and efficient tool for solving this type of equations. To show the efficiency and capability of the proposed methods we have solved some numerical examples. The results show that there is an excellent agreement between the series solutions obtained by these two methods. However, the FNVIM has an advantage over FNHPM because it takes less time to solve this type of nonlinear problems without using He’s polynomials. In addition, the FNVIM enables us to overcome the diffi-culties arising in identifying the general Lagrange multiplier and it may be considered as an added advantage of this technique compared to the FNHPM.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for solving nonlinear fractional partial differential equations on the semi-infinite domain and to get better and more accurate results. Design/methodology/approach The authors proposed a method by using the Chebyshev wavelets in conjunction with differential quadrature technique. The operational matrices for the method are derived, constructed and used for the solution of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. Findings The operational matrices contain many zero entries, which lead to the high efficiency of the method and reasonable accuracy is achieved even with less number of grid points. The results are in good agreement with exact solutions and more accurate as compared to Haar wavelet method. Originality/value Many engineers can use the presented method for solving their nonlinear fractional models.

In this chapter, the authors discuss the effectiveness of the invariant subspace method (ISM) for solving fractional partial differential equations. For this purpose, they have chosen a nonlinear time fractional partial differential equation (PDE) with variable coefficients to be investigated through this method. One-, two-, and three-dimensional invariant subspace classifications have been performed for this equation. Some new exact solutions have been obtained using the ISM. Also, the authors give a comparison between this method and the homogeneous balance principle (HBP).

Purpose The purpose of this study is to introduce the reproducing kernel algorithm for treating classes of time-fractional partial differential equations subject to Robin boundary conditions with parameters derivative arising in fluid flows, fluid dynamics, groundwater hydrology, conservation of energy, heat conduction and electric circuit. Design/methodology/approach The method provides appropriate representation of the solutions in convergent series formula with accurately computable components. This representation is given in the W(Ω) and H(Ω) inner product spaces, while the computation of the required grid points relies on the R(y,s) (x, t) and r(y,s) (x, t) reproducing kernel functions. Findings Numerical simulation with different order derivatives degree is done including linear and nonlinear terms that are acquired by interrupting the n-term of the exact solutions. Computational results showed that the proposed algorithm is competitive in terms of the quality of the solutions found and is very valid for solving such time-fractional models. Research limitations/implications Future work includes the application of the reproducing kernel algorithm to highly nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations such as those arising in single and multiphase flows. The results will be published in forthcoming papers. Practical implications The study included a description of fundamental reproducing kernel algorithm and the concepts of convergence, and error behavior for the reproducing kernel algorithm solvers. Results obtained by the proposed algorithm are found to outperform in terms of accuracy, generality and applicability. Social implications Developing analytical and numerical methods for the solutions of time-fractional partial differential equations is a very important task owing to their practical interest. Originality/value This study, for the first time, presents reproducing kernel algorithm for obtaining the numerical solutions of some certain classes of Robin time-fractional partial differential equations. An efficient construction is provided to obtain the numerical solutions for the equations, along with an existence proof of the exact solutions based upon the reproducing kernel theory.

AbstractIn this work, the homotopy perturbation method proposed by Ji-Huan He [1] is applied to solve both linear and nonlinear boundary value problems for fourth-order partial differential equations. The numerical results obtained with minimum amount of computation are compared with the exact solution to show the efficiency of the method. The results show that the homotopy perturbation method is of high accuracy and efficient for solving the fourth-order parabolic partial differential equation with variable coefficients. The results show also that the introduced method is a powerful tool for solving the fourth-order parabolic partial differential equations.
