Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the non-conformable double Laplace transform. Its properties are studied, and it is applied to solve some fractional PDEs involving the nonconformable fractional derivative. Graphical representations of the obtained solutions are shown in figures. The study shows that this transform is effective and easy to apply to create an exact solution for types of fractional PDEs.

1. Introduction

Throughout the decades, mathematics has played an influential role in the developed civilization. Through mathematical modelling, it has allowed to describe and predict phenomena in real world. From this viewpoint, it is essential to assure the importance of calculus to study many of the laws of nature.

On September 30th, 1695, a generalization of calculus was born in a letter between L’Hopltal and Leibniz in which a question got raised about the meaning of taking a fractional derivative such as [1]. This generalization is called fractional calculus. In the last and present centuries, the importance of the fractional calculus has been growing because of its deep applications in all related fields of science and engineering [25].

Actually, many definitions of fractional derivative and fractional integral have been proposed. The most popular ones are Riemann–Liouville, Caputo, Grunwald–Letnikov, Hadamard, Erdely, Kober, Marchaud, and Riesz [69]. Most of these fractional derivatives do not satisfy the classical formulas of derivatives such as product, quotient, and chain rules except Caputo [10, 11].

Recently, Khalil et al. [12] introduced an extension of the ordinary limit definition for the derivative of a function, namely, the conformable derivative. More recently, Martinez proposed a new nonconformable local derivative in [13]. One can see that the last two definitions satisfy the classical properties mentioned above. Many researchers solved nonlinear fractional partial differential equations in the sense of conformable derivative and Caputo derivative [1431]. There is an important study [32], where the authors treat the price adjustment equation in many senses of fractional derivatives, such as truncated M-derivative including the Mittag–Leffer function, beta-derivative, and conformable derivative defined in the form of limit for -differentiable functions.

In [13], Martinez introduced the nonconformable Laplace transform local fractional derivative, and they proved its existence beside main properties. Ozarslan et al. in [33] presented Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo sense with the th order and its Laplace transform, and they studied that the wind influenced projectile motion equations involving this sense of derivative. In [34], Ozkan and Kurt introduced the conformable double Laplace transform and used it to solve some fractional partial differential equations that represent many physical and engineering models.

In this manuscript, we establish the nonconformable double Laplace transform and apply this new definition to solve a nonconformable fractional heat, wave, and telegraph equations with sense of nonconformable fractional derivative.

2. Preliminary

In this section, we present the definition of nonconformable fractional derivative and some important definitions.

Definition 1. (see [13]). Given a function , then the nonconformable fractional derivative of order of at is defined byIn addition, if the nonconformable fractional derivative of of order exists, then is N-differentiable.

Definition 2. (see [13]). Let and be a real number, then the fractional exponential is defined in the following way:

Definition 3. (see [13]). Let and , then we can say that a function is fractional integrable on , if the integralexists and is finite.
In the next section, we present the definitions of the nonconformable double and single Laplace transform of a function with tow variables. We prove some properties. We claim that the results presented here are new in its domain.

6. Conclusion

In this work, we introduce the nonconformable double Laplace transform with proof of its main properties. Then, we use the transform to solve selected fractional PDEs in sense of nonconformable derivative, such as homogeneous space-time nonconformable fractional heat equation, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous space-time nonconformable fractional wave equations, and nonhomogeneous space-time nonconformable fractional telegraph equation. In addition, 3D graphical representations are offered for obtained solutions with illustrations for different values of and with fixed. The 2D graphs show that the obtained solutions, by using the nonconformable double Laplace transform, are close to that of classical derivatives as and with fixed. We observe that the wavelength increases and the amplitude decreases in the case of the homogeneous space-time nonconformable fractional wave equation as and with fixed. It increases in the last two cases as and approaches zero with fixed. We may conclude that this transform can be a very powerful technique to solve many fractional PDEs involving nonconformable derivative arising in physics, chemistry, and engineering.
