a b s t r a c tThe article presents the approximate analytical solutions of general nonlinear diffusion equation with fractional time derivative in the presence of an absorbent term and a linear external force obtained with the help of powerful mathematical tool like Homotopy Perturbation Method. By using initial value, the approximate analytical solutions of the equation are derived. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Numerical results for different particular cases are presented graphically. The anomalous behavior of nonlinear diffusivity in the presence or absence of external force and reaction term are calculated numerically and presented graphically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
