An efficient technique to study of time fractional Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations by Nishant Bhatnagar, Kanak Modi, Lokesh Kumar Yadav, Ravi Shanker Dubey

“…In this study, we derive the approximate analytical solution for the fractional coupled Whitham–Broer–Kaup (WBK) equations, a significant mathematical model for representing wave propagation in shallow water. The solution is obtained through the utilization of the q-homotopy analysis [Formula: see text]-Laplace transform method (q-HAL[Formula: see text]TM), a hybrid approach combining [Formula: see text]-Laplace transformation and the homotopy analysis method. …”
