Abstract
In this article, the new approach called, the optimal auxiliary function method (OAFM) has been extended with the help of the fractional complex transform method (FCTM) to fractional order partial differential equations (PDEs). The beauty of the method is that, there is no need for small or large parameter assumption in the problem. Similarly, the proposed method gives an approximate solution after only one itearion. To test the proposed method, we take the timefractional order Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations as a test example. The computed results of the suggested method are compared with the new iterative method (NIM), perturbation iteration method (PIA), and Residual power series method (RPSM). The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method can be proven by numerical and graphical results. (C) 2021 THE AUTHOR.
