Introduction
In the last few decades, the researchers have shown significant interest in fractional calculus in different areas, such as edge detection, electromagnetic, engineering, viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, cosmology, turbulence, diffusion, signal processing material science, physics and acoustics. It has been proved by many researchers that the integer-order models are generalized by fractional-order portray the complex phenomena in a very effective approach [1,2,3]. Various dynamical systems in physics and engineering are also modeled by using fractional-order differential equations. Many researchers have contributed a lot to provide an outstanding history of the derivative of fractional-order, such as Caputo [4], Yin et al.[5], Rashid et al., Arife et al. [6] and Oldham and Spanier [7,8].
The majority of science problems are nonlinear and it isn't easy to find its analytical solutions. The physical problems are mostly designed by using higher nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). It is challenging to find the exact or analytical solutions for such problems. However, in the last several centuries, many scientists have made significant progress and adopted various techniques to solve nonlinear PDEs. Recently in [9,10,11,12], Arqub et al. have implemented the Hilbert space reproduction kernel technique along with the iterative computational method to extended the semi-analytical approaches to other time fractional-order PDEs. In [13], the author examined approximate methods for certain groups of Robin time-fractional PDEs by fitting the kernel reproduction algorithm [14]. Sadly, many nonlinear problems can not be solved by analytical techniques. Moreover, the traditional numerical methods have to provide linearization, transformation, discretization and perturbation to solve the nonlinear models [15,16,17,18,19,20].
In 1980, Adomian developed an effective technique is known as Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) to solve differential equations describing physical phenomena [21]. Further, ADM is modified by using Laplace transformation. As a result, a new method is developed, known as Laplace-ADM (LADM). LADM possesses the basic properties of both Laplace transformation and ADM. S.A Khuri [22] introduced LADM. This technique works effectively for PDEs of both initial and boundary value problems. LADM is also used in several research article to achieve an analytical solution, such as Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations [23], third-order dispersive fractional PDEs [24], fractional-order telegraph equations [25], fisher's equation [26], time-fractional model of Navier-Stokes equation [27] and Keller-Segel equation [28].
In the current article, the analytical solution of the following Swift-Hohenberg (SH) equation.
where a and b are parameters. This is among the most fundamental equations suggested by Jack Swift and Pierre Hohenberg in 1977, which is related to the temperature and thermal convection of fluid dynamics [29]. A nonlinear parabolic equation is the SH equation, which also explains the formation process in liquid surfaces bounded along a horizontally well-conducting boundary. The broad field of SH equation is used in engineering and science problems from hydrodynamics of fluids to complex patterns [30,31]. Density gradient-driven liquid convection occurs in streams of geophysical fluid in the atmosphere, oceans and mantle of the earth. The mathematical model for the convection of Rayleigh-Benard includes the equations of Navier-Stokes combined with the temperature formula for transport. The S-H equation plays a vital role in the various branches of science, including fluid mechanics, such as laser studies [32] and Taylor-Couette flow [30] nonlinear optics.
The SH equation's solution was analyzed by some researchers using various methods, such as Vishal et al., that used the Homotopy Perturbation Transform Method (HPTM) [33]. The Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) [34], Merdan, who used the method of variational iteration utilizing the Riemann-Liouville derivative [35], Khan et al., who used the differential transform method [36], Prakasha et al., applied is residual power series method and others [37,38,39,40].
In this research work, the analytical solution of SH equation is investigated by using Laplace Adomian decomposition method. In the prior literature, the solution of SH equation was handled by using Variational iteration method and Homotopy analysis method. It is observed that the proposed method is simple and straightforward as compared to other existing techniques. Moreover, the suggested method has greater accuracy and requires fewer calculations than other methods. The method is applied easily to achieve the solutions of fractional problems. The representation has confirmed the closed relation between the exact and obtained results. The fractional-order solutions are convergent to the solution of the integer-order problem.
