Abstract

In today’s world, analyzing nonlinear occurrences related to physical phenomena is a hot topic. The main goal of this research is to use the natural decomposition method (NDM) of fractional order to find an approximate solution to the fractional clannish random walker’s parabolic (CRWP) equation. The proposed method gives approximate solutions that are exceptionally near the exact solution without the complication that numerous other techniques imply. Banach’s fixed-point theory is used to investigate the anticipated issue’s convergence analysis and uniqueness theorem. To ensure that the suggested technique is trustworthy and precise, numerical simulations were conducted. The results are shown in the graphs and tables. When comparing the proposed scheme’s solution to the actual solutions, it becomes clear that the scheme is efficient, systematic, and very precise when dealing with nonlinear complex phenomena.

Keywords: Natural decomposition method, natural transform, convergence analysis, uniqueness theorem, fractional CRWP equation

1. Introduction

Fractional-order differential equations have received a lot of interest in recent years due to advances in the theory of fractional calculus and its applications in a wide range of fields. Fractional partial differential equations are becoming more and more common in engineering applications and many research fields. Fractional-order derivatives can be used to explain a variety of physical phenomena in mathematical biology, electromagnetic theory, fluid mechanics, signal processing, and engineering. Numerous real-life issues may be represented by ordinary or partial differential equations with fractional order derivatives in the areas of diffusion processes, viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, and relaxation vibrations. Fractional calculus is also used in fluid dynamics, stochastic dynamical systems, controlled thermonuclear fusion, plasma physics, turbulence, nonlinear control theory, optical fibers, solid-state physics, chaos, fractal dynamics, finance, image processing astrophysics, etc. [1-7].

Finding exact solutions to the nonlinear fractional differential equations is crucial to understanding the wave phenomena they represent. The nonlinear fractional partial differential equations cannot be solved using a generic approach. Also, in recent decades, many successful techniques have been used to find approximate and exact solutions to these equations, such as the first integral method [8], modified Kudryashov method [9], generalized Kudryashov method [10], trial equation method [11], exp-function method [12], sub-equation method [13], improved sub-equation method [14], modified simple equation method [15], improved (G/G)-expansion method [16], sine-Gordon equation expansion method [17], extended sin-Gordon equation method [18], extension exp(())-expansion method [19], improved tanh function method [20], and adomian decomposition method (ADM) which is a more popular technique due to its precision and efficiency [21-22]. ADM has been successfully and efficiently used to investigate the issues that have emerged in science and technology without perturbation and linearization. On the other hand, ADM needs a lot of time and a lot of computer capacity in order to do calculations. As a result, the integration of this technique with other transform methods is almost guaranteed. So Rawashdeh and Maitama proposed the fractional natural decomposition method (FNDM) [23-24], which is a combination of the ADM and natural transform method (NTM). Since FNDM is an amended method of ADM, it reduces calculation time and doesn’t need linearization discretization, or perturbation.

The time-fractional clannish random walker’s parabolic (CRWP) equation [25-27] is developed for the mobility of two interacting populations that have a tendency to be clannish, that is, they prefer to dwell with others of their own kind. This equation is written as:

(1)

where is the time fractional derivative. There are a few publications available about this equation. In 2007, Ugurlu and [28] considered the developed tanh function technique to discover some exact solutions to the CRWP equation. In 2013, Bulut [27] solved the CRWP problem using hyperbolic functions with the Kudryashov technique. Many novel solutions have been found by Odabasi and Misirli [29] by using the modified trial equation technique. Guner et al. [30] used two efficient techniques, namely the (G’/G,1/G)-expansion method and the (G’/G)-expansion method. In 2021, Bashar et al. investigated novel exact solutions of the CRWP equation utilizing an expanded version of the Exp (−φ(ζ))-expansion technique in the sense of conformable fractional derivative [31]. By using the fractional natural decomposition technique (FNDM), this article finds approximate analytical solutions to the (CRWP) equation and compares them to the exact solutions.

The remainder of this article is arranged according to the following: In Section 2, we explain the basic concept of fractional calculus and certain preliminaries that pertain to our work. A fractional natural decomposition method (FNDM) is discussed in Section 3. The convergence analysis of NDM is discussed in Section 4. In Section 5, we will solve the (CRWP) problem using the technique described above. To conclude, there is an explanation of the major findings and a comparison of them to their exact solutions.

6. Numerical results and discussion

For different choices of space and time variables, we conduct numerical simulations for fractional clannish random walker’s parabolic equation of arbitrary order. Tables 1 and 2 show the results of a numerical simulation with different values for the initial conditions considered in the first triangular periodic solution and the first multiple soliton-like solution. Similarly, the numerical analysis was carried out for the initial conditions considered in the second triangular periodic solution and the second multiple soliton-like solution, as shown in Tables 3 and 4. Some values for the four cases are also mentioned in Tables 1-4 at and . We can deduce from the provided tables that the results generated by FNDM are very accurate. Figures 1(a,b), Figures 2(a,b), Figures 3(a,b), Figures 4(a,b) show the behavior of the exact solutions and the NDM solution for four cases. Figure 1(c), Figure 2(c), Figure 3(c) and Figure 4(c) depict the type of absolute errors for the related equation. Figure 1(d), Figure 2(d), Figure 3(d) and Figure 4(d) depict the graphical representation between exact and NDM solutions for four cases at . The response of acquired solutions with different values of between and is presented in Figure 1(e), Figure 2(e), Figure 3(e) and Figure 4(e). The response of acquired solutions with different values of between and is presented in Figure 1(f), Figure 2(f), Figure 3(f) and Figure 4(f). The plots display the dependability and applicability of the predicted technique while analyzing nonlinear issues. Finally, the impact of generalizing models or issues from integer to fractional order can be seen in these plots.

7. Conclusion

Using innovative approaches to study and explore nonlinear physical models has always helped us grow in science and technology. We employed NDM in the present framework to analyze the fractional clannish random walker’s parabolic (CRWP) equation with fractional order. The uniqueness theorem and convergence analysis of the expected issue is investigated using Banach’s fixed-point theory. Four instances are shown to demonstrate the expected method’s reliability and applicability. For highlighted fractional order, the behaviors for the acquired findings are presented in 2D, 3D graphs, and tables. These graphs help in the conclusion of the analogical model’s stimulating actions. Furthermore, NDM does not need any conversion, perturbation, or consideration of additional polynomials or parameters while solving nonlinear problems. Examining these types of happenings can lead to new ways of looking into more real-world events. It may also inspire ideas on how to evaluate nonlinear models in science and technology using an accurate method. This paper clarifies the suggested model, which is heavily reliant on temporal instants and their histories and can be effectively shown using fractional concepts.
