Abstract
In the present study, the exact solutions of the fractional three-dimensional (3D) Helmholtz equation (FHE) are obtained using the Laplace residual power series method (LRPSM). The fractional derivative is calculated using the Caputo operator. First, we introduce a novel method that combines the Laplace transform tool and the residual power series approach. We specifically give the specifics of how to apply the suggested approach to solve time-fractional nonlinear equations. Second, we use the FHE to evaluate the method's efficacy and validity. Using 2D and 3D plots of the solutions, the derived and precise solutions are compared, confirming the suggested method's improved accuracy. The results for nonfractional approximate and accurate solutions, as well as fractional approximation solutions for various fractional orders, are indicated in the tables. The relationship between the derived solutions and the actual solutions to each problem is examined, showing that the solution converges to the actual solution as the number of terms in the series solution of the problems increases. Two examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested approach in solving various categories of fractional partial differential equations. It is evident from the estimated values that the procedure is precise and simple and that it can therefore be further extended to linear and nonlinear issues.
