Abstract

The mathematical efficiency of fractional-order differential equations in modeling real systems has been established. The first-order and second-order time derivatives are substituted in integer-order problems by a fractional derivative of order \(0 < \omega \le 1\), resulting in time-fractional heat and wave problems with variable coefficients. In this research, we analyze fractional-order wave and heat problems with variable coefficients within the framework of a Caputo derivative (CD) using the Elzaki residual power series method (ERPSM), which is a coupling of the residual power series method (RPSM) and the Elzaki transform (E-T). It relies on a novel form of fractional power series (FPS), which provides a convergent series as a solution. The accuracy and convergence rates have been proven by the relative, absolute, and recurrence error analyses, demonstrating the validity of the recommended approach. By employing the simple limit principle at zero, the ERPSM excels at calculating the coefficients of terms in a FPS, but other well-known approaches such as Adomian decomposition, variational iteration, and homotopy perturbation need integration, while the RPSM needs the derivative, both of which are challenging in fractional contexts. ERPSM is also more effective than various series solution methods due to the avoidance of Adomian’s and He’s polynomials to solve nonlinear problems. The results obtained using the ERPSM show excellent agreement with the natural transform decomposition method and homotopy analysis transform method, demonstrating that the ERPSM is an effective approach for obtaining the approximate and closed-form solutions of fractional models. We established that our approach for fractional models is accurate and straightforward and researcher can use this approach to solve various problems.
