Abstract
In this paper an algorithm based on Adomian’s decomposition method is developed to approximate the solution of the nonlinear fractional convection–diffusion equation∂αu∂tα=∂2u∂x2-c∂u∂x+Ψ(u)+f(x,t),0<x<1,0<α⩽1,t>0.The fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. The approximate solutions are calculated in the form of a convergent series with easily computable components. The analysis is accompanied by numerical examples and the obtained results are found to be in good agreement with the exact solutions known for some special cases.
