A mathematical model of the movement of the shoreline in a sedimentary ocean basin is discussed. The model includes space-time fractional derivative in Caputo sense and variable latent heat term. An approximate solution of the problem is obtained by Adomian decomposition method and the results thus obtained are compared graphically with an exact solution of integer order (b = 1, a = 1). Three particular cases, the standard diffusion, the time-fractional and the spacefractional diffusions are also discussed. The model and solution are generalization of previous works.
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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 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.
