Applying VIM to conformable partial differential equations

Abstract

In this paper, we used new conformable variational iteration method, by the conformable derivative, for solving fractional heat-like and wave-like equations. This method is simple and very effective in the solution procedures of the fractional partial differential equations that have complicated solutions with classical fractional derivative definitions like Caputo, Riemann-Liouville and etc. The results show that conformable variational iteration method is usable and convenient for the solution of fractional partial differential equations. Obtained results are compared to the exact solutions and their graphics are plotted to demonstrate efficiency and accuracy of the method.
