GENERALIZED EXP-FUNCTION METHOD FOR NON-LINEAR SPACE-TIME FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Abstract

A generalized exp-function method is proposed to solve non-linear space-time fractional differential equations. The basic idea of the method is to convert a fractional partial differential equation into an ordinary equation with integer order derivatives by fractional complex transform. To illustrate the effectiveness of the method, space-time fractional asymmetrical Nizhnik-Novikor-Veselov equation is considered. The fractional derivatives in the present paper are in Jumarie's modified Riemann-Liouville sense.
