Analytical Methods for Fractional Differential Equations: Time-Fractional Foam Drainage and Fisher’s Equations

Abstract

In this research, we employ a dual-approach that combines the Laplace residual power series method and the novel iteration method in conjunction with the Caputo operator. Our primary objective is to address the solution of two distinct, yet intricate partial differential equations: the Foam Drainage Equation and the nonlinear time-fractional Fisher’s equation. These equations, essential for modeling intricate processes, present analytical challenges due to their fractional derivatives and nonlinear characteristics. By amalgamating these distinctive methodologies, we derive precise and efficient solutions substantiated by comprehensive figures and tables showcasing the accuracy and reliability of our approach. Our study not only elucidates solutions to these equations, but also underscores the effectiveness of the Laplace Residual Power Series Method and the New Iteration Method as potent tools for grappling with intricate mathematical and physical models, thereby making significant contributions to advancements in diverse scientific domains.
