Abstract

In this paper, we propose a handy approximation technique (HAT) for obtaining both closed-form and approximate solutions of time-fractional heat and heat-like equations with variable coefficients. The method is relatively recent, proposed via the modification of the classical Differential Transformation Method (DTM). It devises a simple scheme for solving the illustrative examples, and some similar PDEs. Besides being handy, the results obtained converge faster to their exact forms. This shows that this modified DTM (MDTM) is very efficient and reliable. It involves less computational work, even without given up accuracy. Therefore, we strongly recommend it for solving both linear and nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) with applications in other aspects of pure and applied sciences, management, and finance.
