The comparison of two reliable methods for the accurate solution of fractional Fisher type equation

摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is the comparative analysis of Haar Wavelet Method and Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method for fractional Fisher type equation. In this paper, two reliable techniques, Haar wavelet method and optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM), have been presented. The Haar wavelet method is an efficient numerical method for the numerical solution of fractional order partial differential equation like the Fisher type. The approximate solutions of the fractional Fisher-type equation are compared with those of OHAM and with the exact solutions. Comparisons between the obtained solutions with the exact solutions exhibit that both the featured methods are effective and efficient in solving nonlinear problems. However, the results indicate that OHAMprovidesmore accurate value than the Haar wavelet method.
