Application of the Improved Kudryashov Method to Solve the Fractional Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Our purpose of this paper is to apply the improved Kudryashov method for solving various types of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. As an application, the time-space fractional Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdV-Burger) equation is solved using this method and we get some new travelling wave solutions. To acquire our purpose a complex transformation has been also used to reduce nonlinear fractional partial differential equations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations of integer order, in the sense of the Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. Afterwards, the improved Kudryashov method is implemented and we get our required reliable solutions where the results are justified by mathematical software Maple-13.


Introduction
Fractional differential equations have a significant role in describing the complicated nonlinear physical phenomena such as the fluid flow, viscoelasticity, signal processing, control theory, systems identification, biology, physics and other areas [1]- [6].
Fractional differential equations are generalizations of classical differential equations of integer order.In recent years, nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) have been attracted by the mathematician and other re-searchers.It is caused by both the development of the theory of fractional calculus itself.In the recent year, many analytical and numerical methods have been proposed to obtain solutions of nonlinear FPDEs, such as local fractional variational iteration method [7], local fractional adomian decomposition method [8] [9], local fractional fourier series method [10], finite element method [11], variational iteration method [12] and so on.In these methods, researchers have investigated analytical and numerical solutions and a few of them have depicted some related graphs.
The improved Kudryashov method [13] is also a similar method to these above methods and the basic principle of this method is to solve nonlinear partial differential equations analytically.This method is straight forward and easy for finding exact solutions FPDEs.
In this article, the improved Kudryashov method has been applied to find the new exact travelling wave solutions of the nonlinear time-space fractional order KdV-Burger equation, given by the following form [14] It is applied as a nonlinear model of the propagation of waves on an elastic tube filled with a viscous fluid.

As an application, the new exact travelling wave solutions of KdV-Burger's equation have been found in Section 3. In last Section 4, the conclusion has been stated.
