Abstract

In this study, nonlinear fractional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) type equations with nonlocal operators are studied using Mittag–Leffler kernels and exponential decay. The KdV equations are well known for its use in modeling ion-acoustic waves in plasma, oceanic dynamics, and shallow-water waves. As a result, mathematicians are working to examine modified and generalized versions of the basic KdV equation. In order to find the solutions of nonlinear fractional KdV equations, an extension of this concept is described in the current paper. The solution of fractional KdV equations is carried out using the well-known natural transform decomposition method (NTDM). To evaluate the problem, we employ the fractional operator in the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) and the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo sense (ABC) manner. Nonlinear terms can be handled with Adomian polynomials. The main advantage of this novel approach is that it might offer an approximate solution in the form of convergent series using easy calculations. The dynamical behavior of the resulting solutions have been demonstrated using graphs. Numerical data is represented visually in the tables. The solutions at various fractional orders are found and it is proved that they all tend to an integer-order solution. Additionally, we examine our findings with those of the iterative transform method (ITM) and the residual power series transform method (RPSTM). It is evident from the comparison that our approach offers better outcomes compared to other approaches. The results of the suggested method are very accurate and give helpful details on the real dynamics of each issue. The present technique can be expanded to address other significant fractional order problems due to its straightforward implementation.
