Abstract

The current work presents analytical solutions of a nonlinear conformable time-fractional equation by using two different techniques. These are the modified simple equation method and the exponential rational function method. Based on the conformable fractional derivative and traveling wave transformation, the fractional partial differential equation is turned into the nonlinear non-fractional ordinary differential equation. Therefore, we implement the algorithms to this nonlinear non-fractional ordinary differential equation. To the best of our knowledge, the exact solutions obtained in this paper might be very useful in various areas of applied mathematics in interpreting some physical phenomena.
