Analytical study for time and time-space fractional Burgers’ equation

Abstract

In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to solve the time and space-time fractional Burgers’ equation for various initial conditions. VIM solutions are computed for the fractional Burgers’ equation to show the behavior of VIM solutions as the fractional derivative parameter is changed. The results obtained by VIM are compared with exact solutions and also with expansions of the exact solutions. VIM solutions are found to be in excellent agreement with these exact solutions.
