Analytical solutions and mathematical simulation of traveling wave solutions to fractional order nonlinear equations

Abstract

We investigate the tanh–coth method’s usefulness in understanding space–time fractional nonlinear evolution problems. To use this method and then examine their plots, we take into consideration three significant equations: the space–time fractional Burgers equation, the space–time fractional regularized long wave equation, and the space–time fractional Boussinesq equation. The modified Riemann–Liouville derivatives are used to define the fractional derivative. The approach provides a linearization- or small perturbation-free analytical solution in the form of a convergent series with easily calculable components. For the aforementioned nonlinear fractional equations, we have discovered their precise solutions. We utilize a generalized fractional complex transform to translate these to ordinary differential equations which subsequently resulted into number of exact solutions. The method provides us abundant analytical traveling wave solutions containing fewer number parameters with the aid of Mathematica and MATLAB.
