Two efficient methods for solving fractional Lane-Emden equations with conformable fractional derivative (Q2661069): Difference between revisions

Application of conformable residual power series method, namely CRP, and conformable Homotopy-Adomian decomposition method, namely CH-A, have attracted considerable attention in recent years to attain numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations. Nevertheless, it is clear that interest of scientists in fractional calculus also has been steadily increasing. It may also be pointed out that this paper is concerned with an interesting application of CRP and CH-A, to obtain approximate solutions of fractional Lane-Emden equation which has applications in physics and astrophysics. Additionally, the problem is formulated in conformable fractional derivative (CL-M) which is local by its nature such as the standard derivative function. In this paper, the authors present two different numerical method to obtain solution of equation which has general form as following; \[CD^{2\alpha}y + \frac{2\alpha}{x^\alpha} + CD^{\alpha}y + f(y) = 0 \quad x>0,\quad 0<\alpha\leq1. \] The main result of the paper is the improvement for the approximate analytic solution of nonlinear fractional differential equations, by making use of CRP and CH-A methods. Accordingly, it is clear from results that the proposed methods lead to a efficacious way of obtaining solution of nonlinear CL-M. In addition, graphical representation of solutions are given for the different values of \(\alpha\).
