Abstract
We present the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) in applied mathematics can be used as alternative methods for obtaining analytic and approximate solutions for different types of fractional differential equations. In these schemes, the solution constructed in power series with easily computable components. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
