Innovative Solutions to the Fractional Diffusion Equation Using the Elzaki Transform

Abstract

This study explores the application of advanced mathematical techniques to solve fractional differential equations, focusing particularly on the fractional diffusion equation. The fractional diffusion equation, used to simulate a range of physical and engineering phenomena, poses considerable difficulties when applied to fractional orders. Thus, by utilizing the mighty powers of fractional calculus, we employ the variational iteration method (VIM) with the Elzaki transform to produce highly accurate approximations for these specific differential equations. The VIM provides an iterative framework for refining solutions progressively, while the Elzaki transform simplifies the complex integral transforms involved. By integrating these methodologies, we achieve accurate and efficient solutions to the fractional diffusion equation. Our findings demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of combining the VIM and the Elzaki transform in handling fractional differential equations, offering explicit functional expressions that are beneficial for theoretical analysis and practical applications. This research contributes to the expanding field of fractional calculus, providing valuable insights and useful tools for solving complex, nonlinear fractional differential equations across various scientific and engineering disciplines.
