Theoretical and numerical analysis of nonlinear Boussinesq equation under fractal fractional derivative

Abstract

Abstract A nonlinear Boussinesq equation under fractal fractional Caputo’s derivative is studied. The general series solution is calculated using the double Laplace transform with decomposition. The convergence and stability analyses of the model are investigated under Caputo’s fractal fractional derivative. For the numerical illustrations of the obtained solution, specific examples along with suitable initial conditions are considered. The single solitary wave solutions under fractal fractional derivative are attained by considering small values of time ( t ) \left(t) . The wave propagation has a symmetrical form. The solitary wave’s amplitude diminishes over time, and its extended tail expands over a long distance. It is observed that the fractal fractional derivatives are an extremely constructive tool for studying nonlinear systems. An error analysis is also carried out for compactness.
