Analytical approach for the fractional differential equations by using the extended tanh method

Abstract

In this study, we consider analytical solutions of space–time fractional derivative foam drainage equation, the nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries equation with time and space-fractional derivatives and time-fractional reaction–diffusion equation by using the extended tanh method. The fractional derivatives are defined in the modified Riemann–Liouville context. As a result, various exact analytical solutions consisting of trigonometric function solutions, kink-shaped soliton solutions and new exact solitary wave solutions are obtained.
