A new analytical modelling for fractional telegraph equation via Laplace transform

The main aim of the present work is to propose a new and simple algorithm for space-fractional telegraph equation, namely new fractional homotopy analysis transform method (HATM). The fractional homotopy analysis transform method is an innovative adjustment in Laplace transform algorithm (LTA) and makes the calculation much simpler. The proposed technique solves the nonlinear problems without using Adomian polynomials and He's polynomials which can be considered as a clear advantage of this new algorithm over decomposition and the homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM). The beauty of the paper is error analysis which shows that our solution obtained by proposed method converges very rapidly to the known exact solution. The numerical solutions obtained by proposed method indicate that the approach is easy to implement and computationally very attractive. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy and stability of this method. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
