A Robust Technique Based Solution of Time-Fractional Seventh-Order Sawada-Kotera and Lax's Kdv Equations

Abstract

In this paper, the fractional reduced differential transform method (FRDTM) is used to obtain the series solution of time-fractional seventh-order Sawada-Kotera (SSK) and Lax's KdV (LKdV) equations under initial conditions (ICs). Here, the fractional derivatives are considered in the Caputo sense. The results obtained are contrasted with other previous techniques for a specific case, α = 1 revealing that the presented solutions agree with the existing solutions. Further, convergence analysis of the present results with an increasing number of terms of the solution and absolute error has also been studied. The behavior of the FRDTM solution and the effects on different values α are illustrated graphically. Also, CPU-time taken to obtain the solutions of the title problems using FRDTM has been demonstrated. © 2021 World Scientific Publishing Company.
