Based on the homogenous balanced principle and subequation method, an improved separation variables function-expansion method is proposed to seek exact solutions of time-fractional nonlinear PDEs. This method is novel and meaningful without using Leibniz rule and chain rule of fractional derivative which have been proved to be incorrect. By using this method, we studied a nonlinear time-fractional PDE with diffusion term. Some general solutions are obtained which contain many arbitrary parameters. Solutions given in related reference are just our especial case. And we also obtained some new type of solutions.

In 2014, Khalil et al. [2014] proposed the conformable fractional derivative, which obeys chain rule and the Leibniz rule. In this paper, motivated by the monograph of Jibin Li [Li, 2013], we study the exact traveling wave solutions for a class of third-order MKdV equations with the conformable fractional derivative. Our approach is based on the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, which is much different from the simplest equation method proposed in [Chen & Jiang, 2018]. By employing the traveling wave transformation [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], we reduce the PDE to an ODE which depends on the fractional order [Formula: see text], then the analysis depends on the order [Formula: see text]. Moreover, as [Formula: see text], the exact solutions are consistent with the integer PDE. However, in all the existing papers, the reduced ODE is independent of the fractional order [Formula: see text]. It is believed that this method can be applicable to solve the other nonlinear differential equations with the conformable fractional derivative.

AbstractFractional derivative or fractional calculus plays a significant role in theoretical modeling of scientific and engineering problems. However, only relatively low order fractional derivatives are used at present. In general, it is not obvious what role a high fractional derivative can play and how to make use of arbitrarily high-order fractional derivatives. This work introduces arbitrarily high-order fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) to describe fractional hyperdiffusions. The fractional PDEs are constructed via fractional variational principle. A fast fractional Fourier transform (FFFT) is proposed to numerically integrate the high-order fractional PDEs so as to avoid stringent stability constraints in solving high-order evolution PDEs. The proposed high-order fractional PDEs are applied to the surface generation of proteins. We first validate the proposed method with a variety of test examples in two and three-dimensional settings. The impact of high-order fractional derivatives to surface analysis is examined. We also construct fractional PDE transform based on arbitrarily high-order fractional PDEs. We demonstrate that the use of arbitrarily high-order derivatives gives rise to time-frequency localization, the control of the spectral distribution, and the regulation of the spatial resolution in the fractional PDE transform. Consequently, the fractional PDE transform enables the mode decomposition of images, signals, and surfaces. The effect of the propagation time on the quality of resulting molecular surfaces is also studied. Computational efficiency of the present surface generation method is compared with the MSMS approach in Cartesian representation. We further validate the present method by examining some benchmark indicators of macromolecular surfaces, i.e., surface area, surface enclosed volume, surface electrostatic potential and solvation free energy. Extensive numerical experiments and comparison with an established surface model indicate that the proposed high-order fractional PDEs are robust, stable and efficient for biomolecular surface generation.

In this study, first, fractional derivative definitions in the literature are examined and their disadvantages are explained in detail. Then, it seems appropriate to apply the (G′G)-expansion method under Atangana’s definition of β-conformable fractional derivative to obtain the exact solutions of the space–time fractional differential equations, which have attracted the attention of many researchers recently. The method is applied to different versions of (n+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations and new exact solutions of these equations depending on the β parameter are acquired. If the parameter values in the new solutions obtained are selected appropriately, 2D and 3D graphs are plotted. Thus, the decay and symmetry properties of solitary wave solutions in a nonlocal shallow water wave model are investigated. It is also shown that all such solitary wave solutions are symmetrical on both sides of the apex. In addition, a close relationship is established between symmetric and propagated wave solutions.

Abstract The space-time fractional Drinfel’d-Sokolov-Wilson equations (DSWEs) has attracted many researchers’ attention in recent years. In this study, combining the (G’/G,1/G)-expansion method and a fractional wave transformation, we derive abundant explicit exact solutions of the DSWEs with the conformable fractional derivative. All of the resulting solutions include triangle, hyperbolic and rational function type. It shows this technique is effective and reliable to find exact solutions of other similar nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (NFPDEs).

We construct the traveling wave solutions of the (1+1)-dimensional modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation, the (2+1)-dimensional typical breaking soliton equation, the (1+1)-dimensional classical Boussinesq equations, and the (2+1)-dimensional Broer-Kaup-Kuperschmidt equations by using an extended -expansion method, whereGsatisfies the second-order linear ordinary differential equation. By using this method, new exact solutions involving parameters, expressed by three types of functions which are hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational function solutions, are obtained. When the parameters are taken as special values, some solitary wave solutions are derived from the hyperbolic function solutions.
