This paper examines a general recurrence relation by the use of fractional reduced differential transform and then a scheme (methodology) on how to find closed solutions of one dimensional time fractional diffusion equations with initial conditions in the form of infinite fractional power series and in terms of Mittag-Leffler function in one parameter as well as their exact solutions by the use of fractional reduced differential transform method. The new general recurrence relation and the methodology of the fractional reduced differential transform method were successfully developed. The obtained new general recurrence relation helps us to solve time-fractional diffusion equations with initial conditions and various external forces by using fractional reduced differential transform method. To see its effectiveness and applicability, five test examples were presented. The results show that the general recurrence relation works successfully in solving time-fractional diffusion equations in a direct way without using linearization, transformations, perturbation, discretization or restrictive assumptions by using fractional reduced differential transform method.

The present study aims to obtain infinite fractional power series solution vectors of fractional Cauchy-Riemann systems equations with initial conditions by the use of vectorial iterative fractional Laplace transform method (VIFLTM). The basic idea of the VIFLTM was developed successfully and applied to four test examples to see its effectiveness and applicability. The infinite fractional power series form solutions were successfully obtained analytically. Thus, the results show that the VIFLTM works successfully in solving fractional Cauchy-Riemann system equations with initial conditions, and hence it can be extended to other fractional differential equations.
