Summary
In this study, we present the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for finding the analytical solution of linear and non-linear space-time fractional reaction-diffusion equations (STFRDE) on a finite domain. These equations are obtained from standard reaction-diffusion equations by replacing a second-order space derivative by a fractional derivative of order and a first-order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order. Some examples are given. Numerical results show that the homotopy perturbation method is easy to implement and accurate when applied to linear and non-linear space-time fractional reaction-diffusion equations.
