Abstract

The paper presents two methods for solving the fractional Fornberg-Whitham (FFW) equation. Based on the peaked solutions of FW equation, suppose the solution’s variable-separated form, and the FFW equation is transformed into a constant fractional differential equation (FDE). To solve the transformed equation, first, the fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) is used. Secondly, the undetermined coefficient method is used to expand the solution of the constant FDE. The expansion is based on the Generalized Taylor formula. Also the solutions are yielded for FFW. It should be pointed out that two cases of the order of fractional derivative between 1 and 2 and that between 0 and 1 are discussed respectively for the transformed FDE. Last, we give two numerical examples by using the two presented methods. The results show that the results agree well by both two proposed methods, and the two methods are high efficient in solving FFW.
