New approximate solutions to time fractional order partial differential equations optimal auxilary function method

Abstract

In this article, approximate solutions of some PDE of fractional order are investi?gated with the help of a new semi-analytical method called the optimal auxiliary function method. The proposed method was tested upon the time-fractional Fisher equation, the time-fractional Fornberg-Whitham equation, and the time-fractional Inviscid Burger equation. The beauty of this method is that there is no need for discretization and assumptions of small or large parameters and provides an ap?proximate solution after only one iteration. The numerical results obtained by the proposed method compared with the other existing methods used in the literature. From the numerical and graphical results, it is clear that the proposed method gives a better solution than existing methods. The MATHEMATICA software pack?age has been used for the huge computational work.
