Abstract

In this paper, the fuzzy nonlinear partial differential equations of fractional order are considered. The generalization differential transform method (DTM) and fuzzy variational iteration method (VIM) were applied to solve fuzzy nonlinear partial differential equations of fractional order. The above methods are investigated based on Taylor’s formula, and fuzzy Caputo’s fractional derivative. The proposed methods are also illustrated by some examples. The results reveal the methods are a highly effective scheme for obtaining the fuzzy fractional partial differential equations.
