An efficient scheme for nonlinear shock wave model in a fractal domain under Caputo fractional operator

Abstract

This paper introduces a refined approach for obtaining the analytical solution of the nonlinear shock wave model incorporating fractal derivatives. The Fractal Yang Variational Iteration Strategy (FYVIS) is utilized to obtain the approximate solution of a fractal model in the form of a series under Caputo fractional operator. The suggested method is the composition of the fractal Yang transform and the variational iteration approach. By using the two-scale fractal theory, we transform the fractal model into its traditional problem and then apply the yang transform to generate a recurrence relation. The variational iteration approach is now suitable to handle this recurrence relation without imposing any hypotheses or restrictions on variables. The derived results by the proposed scheme are shown in terms of series solution. Numerical calculations verify the accuracy and consistency of the suggested approach, demonstrating its excellent performance. The dynamic behavior of fractal components is explored by evaluating absolute errors and presenting two-dimensional diagrams across the fractal domain. This investigation underscores that the suggested technique offers an efficient and user-friendly solution for solving the nonlinear shock wave model involving fractal derivatives.
