Abstract
This study introduces two innovative methods, the new transform iteration method and the residual power series transform method, to solve fractional nonlinear system Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations. These equations, fundamental in describing nonlinear wave phenomena, present complexities due to the involvement of fractional derivatives. In demonstrating the application of the new transform iteration method and the residual power series transform method, computational analyses showcase their efficiency and accuracy in computing solutions for fractional nonlinear system KdV equations.

    1. Introduction
The vast applicability of fractional calculus has become an essential resource in today’s world. Due to its relevance to several branches of applied science and engineering, this field has attracted the attention of mathematicians and other experts for more than 300 years. Classical differential equations of integer order may be extended to the fractional order using fractional calculus. One major benefit of using fractional differential equations is their non-local nature. This allows for the development of a wide variety of mathematical models, as the next stage of a system depends on both its current state and all of its previous states [,,,,,,,,,].
Fractional coupled systems are often used to study plasma’s multi-component behaviour, including ions, free electrons, and atoms. A lot of researchers have endeavoured to evaluate this behaviour. Paul Kersten and Joseph Krasil’shchik have recently studied the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV (mKdV) equations. They have proposed a nonlinear system analysis method based on the absolute complexity between a couple of KdV–mKdV systems [,,,]. Various versions of this Kersten–Krasil’shchik linked KdV–mKdV nonlinear system have been suggested by various researchers [,,,,]. A mathematical model for the behaviour of multi-component plasma for waves moving down the positive zeta axis is provided by the nonlinear fractional Kersten–Krasil’shchik coupled KdV–mKdV system, and one of these variants is as follows:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      where the spatial coordinate  and the temporal coordinate  are defined. p is the factor that represents the order of the fractional operator. To investigate this operator, the Caputo form is used. The following changes the fractional coupled system into a classical one when :
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
If  is equal to zero, the Kersten–Krasil’shchik connected KdV–mKdV system is transformed into the famous KdV system in the following way:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
At , the Kersten–Krasil’shchik coupled KdV–mKdV system transforms into the famous mKdV system in the following way:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
This means that the Kersten–Krasil’shchik coupled KdV–mKdV system is just a hybrid of the KdV and mKdV systems, denoted by (1) to (4). Following this, we examine the following third-order KdV system: the fractional nonlinear two-component homogeneous time-fractional coupled system:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
In this context,  represents the temporal coordinate,  stands for the spatial coordinate, and p is the order factor of the fractional operator. The Caputo form is used to investigate this operator. The following changes the fractional coupled system into a classical one when :
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Omar Abu Arqub created the RPSM in 2013 []. The RPSM incorporates the residual error function and Taylor’s series and is a semi-analytical method. The convergence series procedures may be used to solve linear and nonlinear differential equations. Fuzzy DE resolution was the first area to use RPSM in 2013. Arqub et al. [] created a unique set of RPSM algorithms to find power series solutions for complicated DEs efficiently. Additionally, Arqub et al. [] developed an appealing new RPSM method that addresses fractional-order nonlinear boundary value problems. El-Ajou et al. [] created a new RPSM method for estimating solutions to fractional-order KdV–Burgers equations. First, the solution to second- and fourth-order Boussinesq DEs using fractional power series was proposed by Xu et al. []. An effective numerical method was created by Zhang et al. [] by combining RPSM with least square techniques. See references [,,] for more details.
The researchers used several techniques to resolve fractional-order differential equations (FODEs). The first step is translating the original equation into the Aboodh transform space []. Subsequently, distinct solutions to the modified equations are derived. Lastly, the initial equation is solved by using the inverse Aboodh transform. This novel method employs the Sumudu transform in conjunction with homotopy perturbation approaches. The novel power series expansion method solves linear and nonlinear PDEs without linearisation, perturbation, or discretisation. Coefficient computations are much easier than RPSM, where fractional derivatives take many solution iterations. The proposed method, which makes use of a fast convergence series, has the potential to provide a precise closed-form approximation solution.
Aboodh’s transform iterative technique (NITM) is the greatest mathematical achievement of the 20th century for fractional partial differential equations. Due to their computational complexity and lack of convergence, partial differential equations with fractional derivatives are challenging to solve using normal approaches. Our innovative method surpasses these limitations by lowering the processing burden, increasing accuracy, and continually improving approximation solutions. Complex mathematical and physical problems have found better solutions via iterations tuned to fractional derivatives [,,,,]. Difficult engineering applied mathematics and physics issues may now be studied with the help of defined and understood complex fractional partial differential equation-governed systems.
Two of the most fundamental ways to solve fractional differential equations are the Aboodh transform iterative technique (NITM) and the Aboodh residual power series method (ARPSM). As an additional benefit, these methods provide numerical approximations for solutions to linear and nonlinear differential equations without the need for discretisation or linearisation, in addition to providing instantly accessible symbolic terms of analytical solutions. The primary goal of this research is to find solutions to a system of nonlinear partial differential equations known as the Kersten–Krasil’shchik coupled KdV–mKdV systems utilising two distinct methods: ARPSM and NITM. These two approaches have been combined to solve several nonlinear fractional differential problems.

Furthermore, when applying Equation (29) together with Lemma 3, the outcome is
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Using the modified Taylor’s series along with , we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Using Lemma 3, we obtain

If Theorem 1 is employed, Equation (31) transforms to:
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Multiply both sides of Equation (32) by . Considering that:

Taking the absolute of Equation (34) results in:
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Implementing the condition specified in Equation (35) leads to the subsequent conclusion, thus:
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Equation (36) leads to the desired outcome.
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Consequently, the convergence condition for the new series is established.    □

Here, we have the space–time fractional partial differential equation:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        with the initial conditions
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is the unknown function to be determined and  can be the linear or nonlinear operator of  and . For convenience, we represent  with v. Therefore, by using the Aboodh transform on both sides of Equation (83), we obtain the following equation:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
The resulting equation derived from the inverse Aboodh transformation is:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Iteratively applying the Aboodh transform, a solution is obtained in the form of an infinite series:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Here,  is a linear or nonlinear operator that can be broken down into the following:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
The analytically derived approximate solution for the m-term obtained from Equation (83) is expressed as:
