Abstract
In this paper, we present a new modification of the newly developed semi-analytical method named the Optimal Auxilary Function Method (OAFM) for fractional-order equations using the Caputo operator, which is named FOAFM. The mathematical theory of FOAFM is presented and the effectiveness of this method is proven by using it with well-known Fornberg-Whitham Equations (FWE). The FOAFM results are compared with other method results along with their exact solutions with the help of tables and plots to prove the validity of FOAFM. A rapidly convergent series solution is obtained from FOAFM and is validated by comparison with other results. The analysis proves that our method is simply applicable, contains less computational work, and is rapidly convergent to the exact solution at the first iteration. A series solution to the problem is obtained with the help of FOAFM. The validity of FOAFM results is validated by comparing its results with the results available in the literature. It is observed that FOAFM is simply applicable, contains less computational work, and is fastly convergent. The convergence and stability are obtained with the help of optimal constants. FOAFM is very easy in applicability and provides excellent results at the first iteration for complex nonlinear initial/boundary value problems. FOAFM contains the optimal auxiliary constants through which we can control the convergence as FOAFM contains the auxiliary functions in which the optimal constants and the control convergence parameters exist to play an important role in getting the convergent solution which is obtained rigorously. The computational work in FOAFM is less when compared to other methods and even a low-specification computer can do the computational work easily.Keywords
Fractional calculus deals with the operation of integer order calculus. Earlier fractional calculus has assumed to have no physical applications, but later scientists proved that fractional calculus has many applications in real-world problems such as sound waves propagation in rigid porous material [1], ultrasonic wave propagation in human bone [2], viscoelastic properties in biological tissues [3], and tracking in automobiles [4]. Recently fractional calculus has attracted the attention of researchers due to its vast applications in the field of electromagnetic, physics, viscoelasticity, material science, fluid mechanics, and applied sciences [5–9]. The exact solution has an important role in the solution of fractional calculus. Since most of the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) have no exact solutions, therefore, the scientist strives for various methods like transformation base methods [10–13], Vibrational iteration method VIM [14], Adomian decomposition method (ADM) [15], Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) [16], Differential Transform Method (DTM) [17] to treat the PDEs with no exact solutions. This method required a small assumed parameter or the initial guess. The improper selection of these choices affects the accuracy. The idea of homotopy was introduced in the Perturbation Method (PMs) to develop the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) [18–20] and Homotopy Analysis Methods (HAM) [21] to fix the issue of a small parameter. These methods require the initial guess and have larger flexibility to control the convergence region. To overcome the issue of initial guess, Marinca and Herişanu et al. introduced the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) [22–26]. This method contains the optimal auxiliary function and does not require the initial guess and is hence extended by Ullah et al. [27–31] to more complex models. Herisanu 2019 introduced the Optimal Auxilary Function Method (OAFM) [32] to handle the nonlinear problem. This method is introduced for less computational work and an accurate solution is obtained at the first iteration. Abbas bandy used the HAM for the nonlinear model [33]. Kumar et al. used fractional derivative with Mittag-Leffler-type kernel for the FEW problems [34]. Lu used the VIM for the solution of FEW [35] whereas FEW is solved by Group invariant solutions and conservation laws by Heshemi et al. [36]. Ramadan et al. [37] used the new iterative method and compared its results with HPM results for the FEW models. Merdan et al. [38] used numerical simulations to handle FEW problems. Wang et al. [39] used the modified fractional homotopy analysis transform method for obtaining the FEW solutions. Abidi et al. [40] used the numerical procedure for the solution of the FEW models. The researchers used the semi-analytical methods and numerical methods equally. The numerical methods required large computational memory and processing time for getting the solutions of nonlinear fractional PDEs. The numerical methods required the linearization and discretization procedure and these procedures sometimes affect the accuracy of the methods that is why the scientists used the analytical method to solve the nonlinear fractional PDEs. The applications of these methods can be seen in [41–53].
The purpose of this paper is to modify the OAFM for fractional-order PDEs. FOAFM has been proven effective and is a reliable method to treat complex fractional-order PDEs.
The paper is organized into six sections. Section 1 is dedicated to the introduction. Basic concept and definitions are given in Section 2. The mathematical theory of FOAFM is given in Section 3, the applications of FOAFM to FWEs are given in Section 4. The results, discussion and conclusion are presented in Sections 5 and 6, respectively.

5 Results Analysis and Discussion
The mathematical theory of FOAFM provides highly accurate solutions for the fractional order Fornberg-Whitham equation as presented in Section 3. We have used Mathematica 11 for our computational work. The results obtained by FOAFM are compared with other methods available in the literature as given in Tables 1 and 2 for both the problems along with the exact solution revealing that FOAFM is valid and more accurate than other analytical methods as FOAFM provides nearly identical results to exact solutions. The absolute errors AEs for both problems are obtained in comparison with exact solutions for different values of fractional order
The solution is again validated by comparing the solutions with exact solutions in 3D and 2D forms for problems 1–2 as given in Figs. 1–3 and 4–6. The residual plots in 3D and 2D form are given in Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10 for problems 1 and 2, respectively, while the variation of fractional order
In this study, a new analytical method is suggested for the solution of the Fornberg-Whitham equation. We obtained the first order series solution for the Fornberg-Whitham equation and achieved the first-order solution with high accuracy. For the accuracy and validity of our method, we compared the FOAFM results with the results available in the literature and the exact results. From the comparison, it is concluded that the suggested method is very accurate and good agreement of our results with the numerical results proves the validity of our method. FOAFM is simply applicable to linear and nonlinear initial and boundary value problems. In comparison with other analytical methods, FOAFM is very easy in applicability and provides us with good results for more complex nonlinear initial/boundary value problems. FOAFM contains the optimal auxiliary constants through which we can control the convergence as FOAFM contains the auxiliary functions
