Abstract
This paper aims to investigate a new efficient method for solving time fractional partial differential equations. In this orientation, a reliable formable transform decomposition method has been designed and developed, which is a novel combination of the formable integral transform and the decomposition method. Basically, certain accurate solutions for time-fractional partial differential equations have been presented. The method under concern demands more simple calculations and fewer efforts compared to the existing methods. Besides, the posed formable transform decomposition method has been utilized to yield a series solution for given fractional partial differential equations. Moreover, several interesting formulas relevant to the formable integral transform are applied to fractional operators which are performed as an excellent application to the existing theory. Furthermore, the formable transform decomposition method has been employed for finding a series solution to a time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation. Over and above, some numerical simulations are also provided to ensure reliability and accuracy of the new approach.Keywords
Through the development of science, various phenomena of memory and hereditary properties cannot be well expressed by standard differential equations [1–4]. To address such problems, so many phenomena are described by using fractional differential equations. Indeed, fractional differential equations have been magnificently utilized in modeling various physical and chemical phenomena. Therefore, the mathematical side of fractional differential equations and their solving techniques have been studied by many authors (see, e.g., [5–11]). Meanwhile, different methods have appeared in the contribution of fractional calculus, including homotopy analysis [12,13], fractional transform methods [14–18] and residual power series methods [19–23] as well. Various researchers have combined more than one technique to create new methods, such as the Laplace residual power series method and the ARA residual power series method, to mention but a few. In this study, we create a new method named the formable transform decomposition method (FTDM), which combines the formable integral transform [9] and the decomposition method. It is of interest to mention that such an approach is apparently efficient and accurate in solving fractional partial differential equations and finding their analytical solutions. It also moderates solutions in terms of a series form which converges to the exact solution. To display the applicability of the method, we introduce applications and analyze certain results.
We first consider the nonlinear time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation (TFKGE)
with the conditions
The Klein-Gordon equation has been raised by the physicists Klein, Fock and Gordon to describe relativistic electrons as one of the important mathematical models in quantum mechanics [24,25] and relativistic physics [26,27], as a model of dispersive phenomena. There are numerous papers dealing with the numerical solutions using the finite difference, the finite element and the collocation method (see, e.g., [28–33]). As far as we know, many effective methods have been settled and implemented to solve time-fractional Klein-Gordon equations, such as the Adomian decomposition method, the natural transform decomposition method, the Shehu transform decomposition method and the homotopy method, see [34–38] for more details. However, we establish and implement the FTDM in solving the nonlinear time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation and, consequently, present the new solution in a series form and show that the solution converges rapidly to the exact solution with easier calculations. Moreover, we show several figures and tables and compare our results with other numerical methods to prove the strength of our approach.
The novelty of this study arises from offering a new approach to readers for solving nonlinear fractional partial differential equations, being a hot and challenging subject for researchers in recent decades. However, we claim that our method is a new analytical technique integrating the formable integral transform and the decomposition method. That is, with no need for linearization, differentiation or Lagrange multiplier, the FTDM expresses the solution in the form of infinite converging series to the exact solution.
In brief, this article is organized as follows: In Section 2, basic definitions and theorems are given. In Section 3, new results involving the formable integral transform of fractional operators are established. In Section 4, a technique methodology and convergence analysis are shown. In Section 5, several numerical experiments emphasizing the effectiveness of the FTDM are provided.

To get the solution by the method FTDM, we apply the formable integral to both sides of Eq. (10) to yield
By using Theorem 3.3 and the ICs (11), Eq. (12) can be read as
Therefore, by operating the inverse formable transform on Eq. (13) we derive
Then, the solution as an infinite series can be presented in the form
whereas the nonlinear term in Eq. (14) can be decomposed as
where
Hence, invoking Eqs. (15) and (16) in Eq. (17) implies
From the comparison noticed in Eq. (18), we write
Finally, we may express the FTDMC solution as follows:
In this section, we propose several numerical examples to obtain approximate FTDM solutions. The computational results demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of our method compared with the other numerical techniques.

In this research, we have applied the formable transform to the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator and the Caputo fractional derivative. These new formulas are implemented to construct the approximate solutions of certain fractional differential equations in a series representation. The new technique is presented in the algorithm, and it integrates the formable integral operator with the ADM method to get a series solution of the fractional differential equations. Three interesting examples of the TFKGE are presented and solved by the new technique. Efficiency and applicability of the FTDM method, certain numerical simulations and comparisons with other methods were presented and illustrated as examples. The motivation of this research has simplified the procedure of finding the approximate solutions with fewer efforts and calculations. In the future, we intend to solve time fractional partial differential equations with initial and boundary conditions, as stated in [39,40].
