New modifications of natural transform iterative method and q-homotopy analysis method applied to fractional order KDV-Burger and Sawada–Kotera equations

Abstract

This manuscript presents enhanced versions of two methods: the natural transform iterative method (NTIM) and the q-homotopy analysis method (q-HAM). These methods harness concepts from Fractional Calculus, particularly leveraging the Caputo fractional derivative operator, to successfully manage the complexities of fractional-order systems. To validate their accuracy and efficiency, we applied the proposed techniques to FPDEs like the fractional-order KDV-Burger and fifth-order Sawada–Kotera equations. Our outcomes, which closely resemble the exact solutions, demonstrate how useful NTIM and q-HAM are for solving difficult FPDEs and improving the study of fractional calculus.
