Abstract

In this paper, the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and Picard technique are used to solve a class of nonlinear multidimensional fractional differential equations with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. The main advantage of the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative appears in its non-singular kernel of a convolution type. The sufficient condition that guarantees a unique solution is obtained, the convergence of the series solution is discussed, and the maximum absolute error is estimated. Several numerical problems with an unknown exact solution are solved using the two techniques. A comparative study between the two solutions is presented. A comparative study shows that the time consumed by ADM is much smaller compared with the Picard technique.
