Analytical solutions for the fractional nonlinear cable equation using a modified homotopy perturbation and separation of variables methods

Abstract

In this paper, we first introduce a new homotopy perturbation method for solving a fractional order nonlinear cable equation. By applying proposed method the nonlinear equation it is changed to linear equation for per iteration of homotopy perturbation method. Then, we solve obtained problems with separation method. In examples, we illustrate that the exact solution is obtained in one iteration by convenience separating of source term in given equation.
