Construction of Fractional Power Series Solutions to Fractional Boussinesq Equations Using Residual Power Series Method

Abstract

This paper is aimed at constructing fractional power series (FPS) solutions of time-space fractional Boussinesq equations using residual power series method (RPSM). Firstly we generalize the idea of RPSM to solve any-order time-space fractional differential equations in high-dimensional space with initial value problems inRn. Using RPSM, we can obtain FPS solutions of fourth-, sixth-, and 2nth-order time-space fractional Boussinesq equations inRand fourth-order time-space fractional Boussinesq equations inR2andRn. Finally, by numerical experiments, it is shown that RPSM is a simple, effective, and powerful method for seeking approximate analytic solutions of fractional differential equations.
