Abstract

With the use of the Caputo, Caputo-Fabrizio (CF), and Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (ABC) fractal fractional differential operators, this study offers a theoretical and computational approach to solving the Kawahara problem by merging Laplace transform and Adomian decomposition approaches. We show the solution's existence and uniqueness through generalized and advanced version of fixed point theorem. We present a precise and efficient method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), in particular the Kawahara problem. Through careful error analysis and comparison with precise solutions, the suggested method is validated, demonstrating its applicability in solving the nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, the comparative analysis is studied for the considered equation under the aforementioned operators.
