The Caputo-Fabrizio time-fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olver-Burgers equation and its valid approximations

Abstract

Studying the dynamics of solitons in nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations has received substantial attention, in the last decades. The main aim of the current investigation is to consider the time-fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olver-Burgers (STOB) equation in the Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) context and obtain its valid approximations through adopting a mixed approach composed of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and the Laplace transform. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the time-fractional STOB equation in the CF context are investigated by demonstrating the Lipschitz condition for φx,t;u as the kernel and giving some theorems. To illustrate the CF operator effect on the dynamics of the obtained solitons, several two- and three-dimensional plots are formally considered. It is shown that the mixed approach is capable of producing valid approximations to the time-fractional STOB equation in the CF context.
