Exact solutions for nonlinear fractional differential equations using exponential rational function method

Abstract

Exponential rational function method is a relatively new mechanism to get exact solutions of nonlinear fractional differential equations. In this paper, fractional derivatives in the sense of Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville are defined. Fractional complex transform is used to convert fractional differential equations into ordinary differential equations. This method is more appropriate for solving different kind of nonlinear fractional differential equations emerging in mathematical physics.
