Abstract

In the last few decades, it has become increasingly clear that fractional calculus always plays a very significant role in various branches of applied sciences. For this reason, fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) are of more importance to model the different physical processes in nature more accurately. Therefore, the analytical or numerical solutions to these problems are taken into serious consideration and several techniques or algorithms have been developed for their solution. In the current work, the idea of fractional calculus has been used, and fractional Fornberg Whitham equation (FFWE) is represented in its fractional view analysis. A well-known method which is residual power series method (RPSM), is then implemented to solve FFWE. The RPSM results are discussed through graphs and tables which conform to the higher accuracy of the proposed technique. The solutions at different fractional orders are obtained and shown to be convergent toward an integer-order solution. Because the RPSM procedure is simple and straightforward, it can be extended to solve other FPDEs and their systems.
