A new computational approach for solving nonlinear local fractional PDEs

In this article, we propose a new factorization technique for nonlinear ODEs involving local fractional derivatives for the first time. By making use of the traveling-wave transformation, the exact solutions for nonlinear local fractional FitzHugh-Nagumo and Newell-Whitehead equations are given. The obtained results illustrate that the proposed method is efficient and accurate for finding the exact solutions for a class of local fractional PDEs occurring in mathematical physics.
