A Novel Fractional Integral Transform-Based Homotopy Perturbation Method for Some Nonlinear Differential Systems

In this work, we introduce an innovative analytical–numerical approach to solving nonlinear fractional differential equations by integrating the homotopy perturbation method with the new integral transform. The Kawahara equation and its modified form, which is significant in fluid dynamics and wave propagation, serve as test cases for the proposed methodology. Additionally, we apply the fractional new integral transform–homotopy perturbation method (FNIT-HPM) to a nonlinear system of coupled Burgers’ equations, further demonstrating its versatility. All calculations and simulations are performed using Mathematica 12 software, ensuring precision and efficiency in computations. The FNIT-HPM framework effectively transforms complex fractional differential equations into more manageable forms, enabling rapid convergence and high accuracy without linearization or discretization. By evaluating multiple case studies, we demonstrate the efficiency and adaptability of this approach in handling nonlinear systems. The results highlight the superior accuracy of the FNIT-HPM compared to traditional methods, making it a powerful tool for addressing complex mathematical models in engineering and physics.
