Abstract

This paper presents an analysis based on a mixture of the Laplace transform and the new iteration method to obtain new approximate results of the fractional-order Klein-Gordon equations in the Caputo-Fabrizio sense. So, a general system to investigate the approximate results of the fractional-order Klein-Gordon equations is obtained. This technique’s effectiveness is demonstrated by comparing the actual results of the fractional-order equations suggested with the results achieved.

1. Introduction

Fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) are critical tools for analyzing and simulating numerous narrative models in physics and mathematical models, such as electrical circuits, fluid dynamics, damping, induction, mathematical biology, ad relaxation, (Klimek, 2005; Baleanu et al., 2009; Kilbas et al., 2010; Jumarie, 2009; Mainardi, 2010; Ortigueira, 2010). Fractional derivatives provide more precise representations of real-world problems than integer-order derivatives; they are regarded as an effective technique for describing such physical problems. The subject of fractional calculus is an important and valuable branch of mathematics that plays a critical and severe role in explaining complex dynamic behavior in a wide range of application areas, helps to understand the essence of the matter as well as simplify the control design without any lack of inherited behavior, and describes even more complex structures [1, 2].

The Klein-Gordon equations (KGEs) play an important role in physics, nonlinear optics, quantum field theory and solid state physics, plasma physics, kinematics, mathematical biology, and the recurrence of the initial state. The modeling of many phenomena, including the behavior of elementary particles and dislocation of crystals propagation, is the important applications of KGEs. To study solitons [3], examining nonlinear wave equations [4] and condensed matter physics equations gained the attention of scholars. In the previous few years, mathematicians have made many considerable efforts to find the solutions to these equations. There are many methods introduced to find the solution of these equations such as the radial basis functions [5], B-spline collocation method [5], auxiliary approach [6], and exponential-type potential, and there are some more methods mentioned in [711] for the solution of these equations. To solve the KGEs of a nonlinear type got tremendous attention of scholar, and a verity of methods were developed as mentioned in [1214]. Some other methods are the stationary solution [15], the Homotopy perturbation technique [16], the tanh technique [17], the variation iteration technique [18], the traveling wave solutions, and so on.

In the recent paper, we are applying new iterative transform method to KGEs of both linear and nonlinear orders of the following form: with the boundary conditions

Daftardar-Gejji and Jafari developed a new iterative approach for solving nonlinear equations in 2006 [19, 20]. Jafari et al. first applied the Laplace transformation in the iterative technique. They proposed a new straightforward technique called the iterative Laplace transform method (ILTM) [21] to look for the numerical solution of the FPDE system. The iterative Laplace transform method was used to solve linear and nonlinear partial differential equations such as the time-fractional Fokker-Planck equation [22], Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation [23], and Fornberg-Whitham equation [24]. The Elzaki transform was used to modify the iterative technique, known as the new iterative transform method.

The new iterative transform method is implemented to investigate the fractional-order of the Klein-Gordon equations. The solution of the fractional-order problems and integral-order models is calculated applying the current techniques. The proposed approach is also helpful for dealing with other fractional-orders of linear and nonlinear PDEs.
