Abstract

Fuzzy differential equations provide a crucial tool for modeling numerous phenomena and uncertainties that potentially arise in various applications across physics, applied sciences and engineering. Reliable and effective analytical methods are necessary to obtain the required solutions, as it is very difficult to obtain accurate solutions for certain fuzzy differential equations. In this paper, certain fuzzy approximate solutions are constructed and analyzed by means of a residual power series (RPS) technique involving some class of fuzzy fractional differential equations. The considered methodology for finding the fuzzy solutions relies on converting the target equations into two fractional crisp systems in terms of ρ-cut representations. The residual power series therefore gives solutions for the converted systems by combining fractional residual functions and fractional Taylor expansions to obtain values of the coefficients of the fractional power series. To validate the efficiency and the applicability of our proposed approach we derive solutions of the fuzzy fractional initial value problem by testing two attractive applications. The compatibility of the behavior of the solutions is determined via some graphical and numerical analysis of the proposed results. Moreover, the comparative results point out that the proposed method is more accurate compared to the other existing methods. Finally, the results attained in this article emphasize that the residual power series technique is easy, efficient, and fast for predicting solutions of the uncertain models arising in real physical phenomena.

1. Introduction

Fuzzy set theory is of considerable interest in mathematics that generalizes the classical probability. The theory fulfills the need to express information of human knowledge in mathematical forms. Since its inception [1], it has been successfully applied in many fields, most notably in the areas of decision making, modeling uncertainty, pattern recognition, image processing, machine learning, economics, and artificial intelligence [2,3]. In the last few years, modeling uncertainty has gained the attention of numerous scholars as one of the most popular theories of describing physical phenomena using fuzzy fractional initial value problems (IVPs). In some cases, simulation and modeling of a real physical phenomenon shows information about issues associated with uncertainty. Such uncertainty may result from several factors, including the process of data collection and measurement errors, determining the initial data, and so forth. Therefore, it is necessary to develop convenient and reliable methods to clarify the presence of uncertainty in parameters, variables, and constants in a mathematical structure of different phenomena that can appropriately address the fuzzy fractional IVPs and study their qualitative and quantitative physical behavior.

Fuzzy differentiation and integration in recent years has witnessed fast-growing application in diverse and widespread fields in natural science and engineering, for instance, electrical engineering, synchronized hyperchaotic systems, quantum optics, chaotic systems, medicine, and many others (see [4,5,6,7,8]). In the literature, different fractional derivative operators have been proposed and improved, such as the Riemann–Liouville, Caputo, Caputo–Fabrizio, and conformable concepts (see [9,10,11,12]). Consequently, various numerical methods have been developed to deal with these fractional operators; for further applications, refer to [13,14,15,16,17,18]. The investigation of FFDEs and their solutions was initially established by Agarwal et al. in [19], in which they solved FFDE with respect to Riemann–Liouville differentiability. This contribution has spurred numerous researchers to devote their interest towards the study of the theoretical results of the existence and uniqueness of solutions side by side with the numerical approximation methods of FFDEs, including the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method, the fractional Euler method, the fuzzy Laplace transform method, the variational iteration method, the Adomian decomposition method, the Jacobi operational matrix method, the Taylor series expansion method, and others (see [20,21,22,23]).

The basic purpose of this analysis is to develop a framework to investigate the fuzzy approximate solutions of a certain class of fuzzy fractional IVP with respect to fuzzy conformable fractional derivative by applying the residual power series (RPS) technique. The proposed technique was initially introduced as an attractive novel numeric-analytic approach for constructing the series solutions for fuzzy IVPs by determining the component values of the expansion series. It depends on the fractional derivative of the so-called truncation residual error function in each stage of finding the solution. RPS has been widely used to find out the solutions of linear and nonlinear issues of fractional differential and fractional integrodifferential equations, including fractional Newell–Whitehead–Segel equation [24], fractional Sawada–Kotera–Ito, Lax, and Kaup–Kupershmidt equations [25], time-fractional Fokker–Planck equations [26], fractional Kundu–Eckhaus and massive Thirring models [27], coupled fractional resonant Schrödinger equation [28], and the fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olever equation [29]. The proposed algorithm is straightforward, accurate and powerful for creating a series of solutions for different models that occur in applied mathematics without terms of perturbation, discretization, and linearization. For more information about advanced different and approximate methods, refer to [30,31,32,33,34,35] and references therein.

In this analysis, we intend to design an efficient algorithm capable of implementing a direct and accurate iterative method to find approximate solutions to the fuzzy system in view of the conformable fractional sense of the domain of interest. The rest of this analysis is organized as follows. In the next section, some mathematical preliminaries and basic definitions related to fuzzy numbers, fuzzy conformable differentiation and fractional Taylor’s formula are reviewed. In Section 3, the formulation of fuzzy fractional IVPs of order β is presented. The principle of the RPS method to detect the solutions of fuzzy fractional IVPs is introduced in Section 4. In Section 5, two linear FFDEs with appropriate fuzzy initial data under fuzzy conformable differentiability are tested to illustrate the simplicity and potential of the RPS approach for determining the approximate solutions. Finally, the conclusion of this work is given in Section 6.

2. Preliminaries

This section provides the fundamental definitions and preliminary results for elucidating sufficient fuzzy analysis theory, to enable us to investigate the fuzzy approximated solutions for certain classes of FFDEs. Throughout this article, F refers to the set of all fuzzy numbers.

Definition 1.

[36] The β-th conformable fractional derivative starting from η of a function φ:η, is denoted Cβ and defined as:

Cβφt=limε0φm1t+εtηmβφm1tε , βm1,m , t>η,

and Cβφη=limtη+Cβφt provided that limtη+Cβt exists and φt is m1-differintiable in some 0,η, η>0.

Definition 2.

[5] A fuzzy number is defined as a fuzzy set ω:0,1 such that

  • ω is upper semi-continuous, i.e., limtξωtωξ, ξ.

  • ω is convex, i.e., for each ξ,η, and 0γ1, we have ωγξ+1γηminωξ, ωη.

  • ω is normal, i.e., there is at least one point ξ such that ωt=1.

  • ω0=ξ:ωξ>0¯ is compact set.

Theorem 1.

[6] Let ω_,ω¯:0,1 satisfy the following conditions:

  • (i) 

    ω_ is a bounded non-decreasing function.

  • (ii) 

    ω¯ is a bounded non-increasing function.

  • (iii) 

    ω_1ω¯1.

  • (iv) 

    For each i0,1 , limρiω_ρ=ω_i and limρiω¯ρ=ω¯i .

  • (v) 

    limρ0+ω_ρ=ω_0 and limρ0+ω¯ρ=ω¯0 .

Then, ω:0,1 given by ωt=supρ|ω_ρtω¯ρ is a fuzzy number with parameterization ω_ρ,ω¯ρ . Furthermore, if ω:0,1 is a fuzzy number with parameterization ω_ρ,ω¯ρ , then the functions ω_ρ and ω¯ρ satisfy the aforesaid conditions (i)–(v). Consequently, the arbitrary fuzzy number ω can be presented as an ordered pair of functions ω_ρ,ω¯ρ.

Definition 3.

[7] For D: F×F+0, the mapping Dω,φ can be defined as Dω,φ=sup0 ρ1DHωρ,φρ for arbitrary fuzzy numbers ω=(ω_, ω¯) and φ=φ_, φ¯, where DH is the Hausdorff metric: DHωρ,φρ=maxω_ρφ_ρ,ω¯ρφ¯ρ.

Definition 4.

[7] The β-th fuzzy conformable fractional derivative for fuzzy function ω:a,bF for β>0 is denoted by Cβ and defined by

Cβωt=limζ0+ωt+ζt1βωtζ=limζ0+ωtωtζt1βζ, β0,1.

Remark 1.

We define Cβω0=limt0+Cβωt provided the limit is exists. Furthermore, ω is β-th fuzzy conformable differentiable whenever Cβωt exists for β>0.

Definition 5.

[7] For t0a,b, a>0, and β>0, we say that ω:a,bF is strongly generalized βth-fuzzy conformable differentiable at t0 if there exists an element CβωτF such that either:

  • (i) 

    The H-differences ωt0+ζt01βωt0 , ωt0ωt0ζt01β exist for each sufficiently small ζ>0 , and limζ0+ωt0+ζt01βωt0ζ=limζ0+ωt0ωt0ζt01βζ=Cβωt0 .

  • (ii) 

    The H-differencesωt0ωt0+ζt01β,ωt0ζt01βωt0exist, for each sufficiently smallζ>0, andlimζ0+ ωt0ωt0+ζt01βζ=limζ0+ωt0ζt01βωt0ζ=Cβωt0.

It is worth mentioning here that the limits are taken in the metric space F,D.

Remark 2.

If ω  is fuzzy differentiable for any point ta,b in terms of (i) of Definition 2.5, then ω is a 1;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable on a,b and its derivative is C1βωt. Likewise, ω is a 2;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable on a,b, if ω is fuzzy differentiable for any point ta,b in terms of (ii) of Definition 2.5 and its derivative is C2βωt.

Theorem 2.

[7] Assume that ω:a,bF is a fuzzy function satisfies the following conditions:

  • (i) 

    For each ta,b, there exists δ>0 such that the H-differences: ωt+ζt1βωt and ωtωtζt1β exists for all ζ ∈ [0, δ ).

  • (ii) 

    For each ta,b and h>0 there exists a constant >0 such that

    DH ωt+ζt1βωtζ, Cβωt<h, and DH ωtωtζt1βζ, Cβωt<h,

    for all ζ0, . Then, the set of functions ωtρ is β -th conformable differentiable and its derivative is Cβωtρ=Cβω_ρt,Cβω¯ρt , where ωtρ=ω_ρt,ω¯ρt for each ρ0,1.

Next, theorems assist us to convert the FFDEs into a system of ordinary fractional differential equations.

Theorem 3.

[7] Assume that ω:a,bF is a fuzzy function. Let ωtρ=ω_ρt,ω¯ρt for each ρ0,1 . Then,

  • (i)

    If ω is 1;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then ω_ρ and ω¯ρ are β-th conformable differentiable functions on a,b and Cβωtρ=Cβω_ρt,Cβω¯ρt.

  • (ii)

    If ω is 2;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then ω_ρ and ω¯ρ are β-th conformable differentiable functions on a,b and Cβωtρ=Cβω¯ρt, Cβω_ρt.

Definition 6.

[37] A fractional expansion representation at t=η has the following form:

k=0aktη βk=a0+a1tηβ+a2tη2β+,

where 0n1<βn , and tη is a fractional power series (PS) about η .

Theorem 4.

[38] Suppose thatφthas the following fractional PS representation att=η:

φt=k=0aktη βk,0n1<βn,t η,η+R,

whereφtCη,η+R, then the unknown functionsakare in the formak=Ckβφηβkk!fork=0,1,2,, such that Ckβ=Cβ·CβCβ,k-times.

Remark 3.

It should be mentioned that there is an exciting recent work on the conformable Euler method for finite difference discretization of FIVPs [39,40] showing that the fractional Taylor expansions in terms of the conformable fractional derivative presented in [36] is valid for β=1. An alternative definition of the conformable fractional derivative introduced in [40] based on the exact spectral derivative discretization finite difference method showing that the conformable fractional derivative [36] is a fractional change of a variable rather that a fractional operator. In view of the results of [*], Definition 6 and Theorem 4 are incorrect, and the RPS results-based thereon can therefore be improved.

Definition 7.

[40] Given a real-valued function on 0, , the conformable fractional derivative has the following alternative definition:

Ttβφt= 0CTtβφtlimh0 0CFDΔtβφt=βlimh0φt+hφtt+hβtβ,

where  0CTtβφ0 is understood to mean  0CTtβφ0=limt0+0CTtβφt .

3. Fuzzy Conformable Fractional Initial Value Problems

Recently, fuzzy DEs have emerged as a powerful instrument for mathematical modeling of numerous real-life phenomena. In this section, let us consider the following fuzzy fractional IVPs of order β:

Cβωt=Ft,ωt,  a tb,  β0,1, (1)

with the fuzzy initial condition

ωa=σ (2)

where Cβ indicates the fuzzy conformable fractional derivative of order β, F:a,b×FF is a continuous fuzzy-valued function, σF and ωt is unknown analytical function to be determined. Consequently, if F· is a crisp function, then the solution ωt of IVPs (1) and (2) is a crisp. Otherwise, if F· is a fuzzy function, then the IVPs (1) and (2) may possess only fuzzy solution ωt. Anyhow, we assume that F· is a fuzzy function.

The m-fuzzy solution of the fuzzy fractional IVPs (1) and (2) is a function ω:a,b F which is (m;β)-fuzzy conformable differentiable and satisfies (1) and (2). To obtain the fuzzy solution ωt, we firstly convert the fuzzy fractional IVPs (1) and (2) into equivalent systems of fractional IVPs, based upon the type of the fuzzy conformable differentiability and the fuzzy solution ω which satisfies the above conditions of Theorem 2. Then, by rewriting Cβωt, ωt, and the initial data ωa, respectively, as a ρ-cut representation: Cβω_ρt,Cβω¯ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt], and ω_ρa,ω¯ρa]=δ_ρ,δ¯ρ. Additionally, Ft,ωt can be reformulated as F_ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt, F¯ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt. The following systems will hold based on using Theorem 3:

  • (1)
    If ωt is 1;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then the corresponding crisp system of the IVPs (1) and (2) will be written in the form of the following:
    Cβω_ρt=F_ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρtCβω¯ρt=F¯ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρtω_ρa=δ_ρ,  ω¯ρa=δ¯ρ (3)
  • (2)
    If ωt is 2;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then the corresponding crisp system of IVPs (1) and (2) will be written in the form of the following:
    Cβω_ρt=F¯ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρtCβω¯ρt=F_ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρtω_ρa=δ_ρ,  ω¯ρa=δ¯ρ (4)

    The formulation of the fuzzy fractional IVPs (1) and (2) along with Theorem 2.3 show us how to deal with numerical solutions of fuzzy fractional IVPs. The original fuzzy fractional IVPs can be converted into a crisp system of fractional IVPs equivalently. This indicates that no need to rewrite the numerical methods for the crisp systems of the fractional IVPs in the fuzzy setting, but, instead, we may use the numerical methods directly on the obtained crisp systems.

4. Primary Principle of Residual Power Series Approach

This section is devoted to justifying the strategy of our proposed method in predicting and investigating the approximate solutions for the fuzzy fractional IVPs (1) and (2). The basic mainstay of the RPS approach is applying the residual error notion and the fractional Taylors series, where the components of truncated fractional Taylor’s series are computed via deriving the truncated fractional residual functions [41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49], see also [50,51,52,53] for further results.

Theorem 5.

For ρ0,1 , let ω_ρt , and ω¯ρt have the following fractional expansions about t=η ,

ω_ρt=k=0cktβkβkk!,ω¯ρt=k=0dktβkβkk!, (5)

where 0<β1 and t η,η+R . If Cβω_ρt and Cβω¯ρt are two continuous on  η,η+R , then the unknown functions ck and dk are in the forms ck=Ckβω_ρηβkk! and dk=Ckβω¯ρηβkk! for k=0,1,2,, where Ckβ=Cβ·CβCβ, k-times.

Proof. 

We need to prove that the unknown coefficients in the fractional expansions (5) have the forms:

ck=Ckβω_ρηβkk! and dk=Ckβω¯ρηβkk! for k=0,1,2,.

Suppose that ω_ρt and ω¯ρt are two functions which have the fractional PS expansions as in Definition 2.5. Its clear that, if we put t=η in (5) leads to c0=ω_ρη, d0=ω¯ρη and ck=dk=0, for k1. Next, by operating β-th conformable fractional derivative on both sides of (5) gives

Cβω_ρt=βc1+2βc2tηβ+3βc3tη2β+4βc4tη3β+,Cβω¯ρt=βd1+2βd2tη2β+3βd3tη2β+4βd4tη3β+. (6)

Substitution of t=η into (6) leads to c1=Cβω_ρηβ and d1=Cβω¯ρηβ.

Additionally, we can apply Cβ on both sides of (6) to get

C2βω_ρt=2β2c2+6β2c3tηβ+12β2c4tη2β+,C2βω¯ρt=2β2d2+6β2d3tηβ+12β2d4tη2β+. (7)

Then, by substituting t=η into (7) gives that c2=C2βω_ρη2β2 and d2=C2βω¯ρη2β2.

Again, by operating Cβ on both sides of (7), we have

C3βω_ρt=6β3c3+24β3c4tηβ+,C3βω¯ρt=6β3d3+24β3d4tηβ+. (8)

After that, substitute t=η into (8) to obtain that c3=C3βω_ρη3!β3 and d3=C3βω¯ρη3!β3. Continuing in the same manner, apply Cβ k-times, and then substitute t=η into the obtained fractional expansions so that the pattern of ck and dk can be found. Therefore, the unknown coefficients in the fractional expansions (5) have the forms

ck=Ckβω_ρηβkk! and dk=Ckβω¯ρηβkk! for k=0,1,2,

Now, the process of obtaining 1-solution of the crisp system (3) corresponding the first case of fuzzy fractional IVPs (1) and (2) will be discussed. The same fashion can be used to create 2-solution. To reach our purpose, we assume that the solutions of the crisp system (3) about the initial point t=0 have the following fractional PS forms

ω_ρt=k=0cktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1,ω¯ρt=k=0dktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1. (9)

We can approximate the solutions ω_ρt and ω¯ρt for the system (3) by the following j-th fractional PS approximate solutions

ω_ρjt=k=0jcktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1,ω¯ρjt=k=0jdktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1. (10)

Applying the initial data of (3), when j=0, in the expansions (10), we verify that the 0-th fractional PS approximate solutions of ω_ρt and ω¯ρt are ω_ρ0t=c0=δ_ρ=ω_ρ0 and ω¯ρjt=d0=δ¯ρ=ω¯ρ0.

Hence, the j-th fractional PS approximate solutions (10) can be reformulated as

ω_ρjt=δ_ρ+k=1jcktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1,ω¯ρjt=δ¯ρ+k=0jdktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1. (11)

To find out the coefficients ck and dk, for k=1,2,3,,j of the fractional expansions (11), one can solve the following fractional algebraic equations manually for the target coefficients

Cj1βRes¯ρj0=0,Cj1βRes¯ρj0=0, j=1,2,, (12)

where Res¯ρj and Res¯ρj are called the j-th fractional residual functions of the crisp system (3) and defined as follows

Res¯ρjt=Cβω_ρjtF_ρt,ω_ρjt,ω¯ρjt,Res¯ρjt=Cβω¯ρjtF¯ρt,ω_ρjt,ω¯ρjt, (13)

and the -th fractional residual functions of the system (3) have the forms

limjRes¯ρjt=Res¯ρt=Cβω_ρtF_ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt,limjRes¯ρjt=Res¯ρt=Cβω¯ρtF¯ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt. (14)

Indeed, some useful facts concerned with the fractional residual functions are listed below, and form the mainstay of the RPS scheme

  • Res¯ρt=0 and Res¯ρt=0 for each t0.

  • limjRes¯ρjt=Res¯ρt and limjRes¯ρjt=Res¯ρt for each t0.

  • CmβRes¯ρj0=0 and CmβRes¯ρj0 for m=0,1,2,,j.

Based on this analysis, the process of obtaining the coefficients ck and dk in the fractional expansions (11) construct the fractional PS approximate solutions for the system (3) by RPS method which can be summarized via the next algorithm. □

Algorithm 1. To deduce the approximate solutions of (3) in detail, one can perform the following manner by one of the known software packages like MATHEMATICA 12.
Step I: Write the system (3) in the form
Cβω_ρtF_ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt=0Cβω¯ρtF¯ρt,ω_ρt,ω¯ρt=0
Step II: Suppose that the solutions of the system (3) about the initial point t=0 have the fractional PS expansion forms
ω_ρt=k=0cktβkβkk!,ω¯ρt=k=0dktβkβkk!, t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1.
Step III: Set c0=ω_ρ0=δ_ρ and d0=ω¯ρ0=δ¯ρ, then the j-th fractional PS approximate solutions ω_ρjt and ω¯ρjt of ω_ρt and ω¯ρt can be written respectively as
ω_ρjt=c0+k=1jcktβkβkk! and ω¯ρjt=d0+k=1jdktβkβkk!,t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1.
Step IV: Define the j-th fractional residual functions Res¯ρjt and Res¯ρjt such that
Res¯ρjt=Cβω_ρjtF_ρt,ω_ρjt,ω¯ρjt,Res¯ρjt=Cβω¯ρjtF¯ρt,ω_ρjt,ω¯ρjt.
Step V: Substitute ω_ρjt and ω¯ρjt in Res¯ρjt and Res¯ρjt so that
Res¯ρjt=Cβc0+k=1jcktβkβkk!F_ρt,c0+k=1jcktβkβkk!,d0+k=0jdktβkβkk!,Res¯ρjt=Cβd0+k=0jdktβkβkk!F¯ρt,c0+k=1jcktβkβkk!,d0+k=0jdktβkβkk!.
Step VI: Consider j=1, in Step V, then solve Res¯ρ1t=0 and Res¯ρ1t=0 at t=0 for c1 and d1. Therefore, the first fractional PS approximate solutions ω_ρ1t and ω¯ρ1t will be obtained.
Step VII: For j=2,3,,r in Step V, apply the operator j1β-th on both sides of the resulting fractional equations such that Cj1βRes¯ρjt and Cj1βRes¯ρjt. Then, by solving Cj1βRes¯ρj0=0 and Cj1βRes¯ρj0=0, cj and dj can be obtained.
Step VIII: Write the forms of the obtained coefficients cj and dj in terms of j-th fractional PS expansions ω_ρjt and ω¯ρjt and repeat the above steps to reach a closed-form in terms of infinite series as in Step II. Elsewhere, the solution obtained will be representing the j-th fractional PS approximate solutions of the crisp system (3).

5. Applications and Numerical Simulations

In this section, we consider two fuzzy fractional IVPs of order β to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the RPS approach. Here, all of the symbolic and numerical computations performed by using Mathematica 12.

Application 1. Consider the following fuzzy fractional IVPs

Cβωt=ρ+1,3ρ+ωt ,t0,1, (15)

with the fuzzy initial condition

ω0=0, (16)

where 0<β1 and ρ0,1.

By using Theorem 3 and the type of fuzzy conformable differentiability, we have the following cases:

Case I: If ωt is 1;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then the corresponding crisp system of the fuzzy fractional IVPs (15) and (16) will be written in the form of the following:

Cβω_ρt=ρ+1+ω_ρt,Cβω¯ρt=3ρ+ω¯ρt,ω_ρ0=0,    ω¯ρ0=0, (17)

For the standard case β=1, the fuzzy exact solution in the ρ-cut representation has the form ωtρ=ρ+1,3ρet1.

In view of the last discussion for the RPS scheme, starting with ω_ρ0=0 and ω¯ρ0=0, assume that the j-th approximate fractional PS solutions for the fractional IVPs system (17) have the following forms

ω_ρjt=k=1jcktβkβkk!,ω¯ρjt=k=0jdktβkβkk!,t0, 0<β1, ρ0,1, (18)

where the unknown coefficients ck and dk for k=1,2, 3,,j can be determined by constructing the j-th fractional residual functions Res¯ρjt and Res¯ρjt for (17) such that

Res¯ρjt=Cβk=1jcktβkβkk!,k=1jcktβkβkk!ρ+1,Res¯ρjt=Cβk=1jdktβkβkk!k=0jdktβkβkk!3ρ. (19)

For j=1, we have Res¯ρ1t=Cβc1tββc1tββρ+1=c1βtββρ1 and Res¯ρ1t=Cβd1tββd1tββ3ρ=d1βtββ3+ρ. Then, Res¯ρ10=0 and Res¯ρ10=0 gives c1=ρ+1 and d1=3ρ.

For j=2, we have Res¯ρ2t=Cβρ+1tββ+c2t2β2β2ρ+1tββ+c2t2β2β2ρ+1=ρ+1+c2tββρ+1tββ+c2t2β2β2ρ1 and Res¯ρ2t=Cβ3ρtββ+d2t2β2β2d1tββ+d2t2β2β23ρ=3ρ+d2tββ3ρtββ+d2t2β2β23+ρ. By applying Cβ both sides of Res¯ρ2t and Res¯ρ2t yields CβRes¯ρ2t=c2ρ+1c2tββ and CβRes¯ρ2t=d23ρd2tββ and then, by solving Res¯ρ20=0 and Res¯ρ20=0, we conclude that c2=ρ+1, and d2=3ρ.

In the same manner, for j=3, we have C2βRes¯ρ3t=C2βCβρ+1tββ+ρ+1t2β2β2+c3t3β6β3ρ+1tββ+ρ+1t2β2β2+c3t3β6β3ρ+1=C2βρ+1+ρ+1tββ+c3t2β2β2ρ+1tββ+ρ+1t2β2β2+c3t3β6β3ρ1=c3ρ+1c3tβ2β and C2βRes¯ρ3t=C2βCβ3ρtββ+3ρt2β2β2+d3t3β6β33ρtββ+3ρt2β2β2+d3t3β6β33ρ=C2β3ρ+3ρtββ+d3t2β2β23ρtββ+3ρt2β2β2+d3t3β6β3ρ+3=d33ρd3tβ2β. Thus, by using the fact that C2βRes¯ρ30=0 and C2βRes¯ρ30=0, it yields that c3=ρ+1 and d3=3ρ.

Continuing in this procedure, based upon the fact Cj1βRes¯ρj0=0 and Cj1βRes¯ρj0=0, for j=4,5,6,, it can be concluded that cj=ρ+1 and dj=3ρ. Therefore, the j-th fractional PS expansions of the fractional IVPs (17) could be expressed as:

ω_ρjt=ρ+1tββ+ρ+1t2ββ22!+ρ+1t3ββ33!++ρ+1tjββjj!,ω¯ρjt=3ρtββ+3ρt2ββ22!+3ρt3ββ33!++3ρtjββjj!. (20)

Moreover, the fractional PS approximate solutions of the fractional IVPs (17) have the general form in terms of the infinite series

ω_ρt=ρ+1tββ+ρ+1t2ββ22!+ρ+1t3ββ33!+=ρ+1k=0tkββkk!, ω¯ρt=3ρtββ+3ρt2ββ22!+3ρt3ββ33!+=3ρk=0tkββkk!. (21)

In particular, for β=1 in (21), we have

ω_ρt=ρ+1t+t22!+t33!+=ρ+1k=0tkk! ,ω¯ρt=3ρt+t22!+t33!+=3ρk=0tkk!, (22)

which are compatible with the McLaurin series of the fuzzy exact solution ωtρ=ρ+1,3ρet1.

Case II: If ωt is 2;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then the corresponding crisp system of fuzzy fractional IVPs (15) and (16) will be written in the form of the following

Cβω_ρt=3ρ+ω¯ρt,Cβω¯ρt=ρ+1+ω_ρt,ω_ρ0=0,    ω¯ρ0=0. (23)

For the standard case β=1, the fuzzy exact solution in term of ρ-cut representation has the form ωtρ=2et+1ρ,ρ11et.

According to RPS procedure, the j-th fractional residual functions Res¯ρjt and Res¯ρjt of the fractional IVPs (23) could be written as:

Res¯ρjt=Cβω_ρjtω¯ρjt3ρ,Res¯ρjt=Cβω¯ρjtω_ρjtρ+1, (24)

where ω_ρjt and ω¯ρjt represent to the j-th fractional PS approximate solutions of (23) such that

ω_ρjt=k=1jcktβkβkk!,ω¯ρjt=k=1jdktβkβkk!.  (25)

Following the process of Algorithm 1, the values of ck and dk, k=1,2,3,,j, in fractional expansions (25) can be reached as follows,

c1=3ρ,     d1=ρ+1,
c2=ρ+1,     d2=3ρ,
c3=3ρ,     d3=ρ+1,
c4=ρ+1,   d4=3ρ,
c5=3ρ,   d5=ρ+1,
c6=ρ+1,   d6=3ρ,
              
cj1=3ρ,  dj1=ρ+1,
cj=ρ+1,   dj=3ρ.

Thus, the j-th fractional PS approximate solutions of fractional IVPs (23) have the expansions form

ω_ρjt=3ρtββ+ρ+1t2ββ22!+3ρt3ββ33!++3ρtj1ββj1j1!+ρ+1tjββjj!,ω¯ρjt=ρ+1tββ+3ρt2ββ22!+ρ+1t3ββ33!++ρ+1tj1ββj1j1!+3ρtjββjj!. (26)

Correspondingly, the general forms of fractional PS approximate solutions of fractional IVPs (23) could be reformulated as

ω_ρt=3ρk=1t2k1ββ2k12k1!+ρ+1k=1t2kββ2k2k!,ω¯ρt=ρ+1k=1t2k1ββ2k12k1!+3ρk=1t2kββ2k2k!, (27)

which agrees with the McLaurin series of the fuzzy exact solutions ωtρ=2et+1ρ,ρ11et.

The accuracy and efficiency of the RPS method are validated by calculating the absolute errors E8ω_ρ=ω_ρtω_ρ8t and E8ω¯ρ=ω¯ρtω¯ρ8t for β=1 and different values of ρ, with some selected grid points of 0t1 as shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Graphically, to illustrate the effects of the parameter ρ on the behaviour of the fuzzy solutions, the exact and eighth fractional PS approximate solutions are plotted in Figure 1 at various values of ρ, where ρ0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.

Application 2. Consider the following fuzzy fractional IVPs

Cβωt=2tβωt+ρ1,1ρtβ,t0,1 (28)

with the fuzzy initial condition

ω0=ρ1,1ρ, (29)

where 0<β1 and ρ0,1.

Using Theorem 3 based on the type of conformable differentiability, we have the following cases.

Case I: If ωt is 1;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then the corresponding crisp system of the fuzzy fractional IVPs (28) and (29) can be written in the following form:

Cβω_ρt=2tβω_ρt+ρ1tβ,Cβω¯ρt=2tβω¯ρt+1ρtβ,ω_ρ0=ρ1,    ω¯ρ0=1ρ. (30)

For the standard case β=1, the fuzzy exact solution in the ρ-cut representation has the form ωtρ=12ρ1,1ρ3et21.

As we mentioned earlier, set the zeroth approximate solutions of ω_ρt, ω¯ρt, respectively, where ω_ρ0t=ρ1 and ω¯ρ0t=1ρ, then the j-th fractional PS approximate solutions of the fractional IVPs (30) have the forms

ω_ρjt=ρ1+k=1jcktβkβkk!,ω¯ρjt=1ρ+k=0jdktβkβkk!. (31)

To determine the values of the components ck and dk, for k=1,2,3,,j, solve the systems Cj1βRes¯ρjt=0 and Cj1βRes¯ρjt=0 at t=0 in which Res¯ρjt and Res¯ρjt are identified as:

Res¯ρjt=Cβρ1+k=1jcktβkβkk!2tβρ1+k=1jcktβkβkk!ρ1tβ,Res¯ρjt=Cβ1ρ+k=0jdktβkβkk!2tβ1ρ+k=0jdktβkβkk!1ρtβ. (32)

For j=1, the first fractional residual functions Res¯ρ1t and Res¯ρ1t could be expressed as:

Res¯ρ1t=Cβρ1+c1tββ3tβρ1+2c1t2ββ=c13tβρ12c1t2ββ,Res¯ρ1t=Cβ1ρ+d1tββ3tβ1ρ+2d1t2ββ=d13tβ1ρ2d1t2ββ. (33)

Solving the systems Res¯ρ10=0 and Res¯ρ10=0 gives c1=d1=0.

Again, to determine c2 and d2 set j=2 in (32), then taking into account the values of the obtained coefficients, yields

Res¯ρ2t=Cβρ1+c2t2β2β23tβρ1+c2t3ββ2=c2tββ3tβρ1c2t3ββ2,Res¯ρ2t=Cβ1ρ+d2t2β2β23tβ1ρ+d2t3ββ2=d2tββ3tβ1ρd2t3ββ2. (34)

Applying the operator Cβ to both sides of (34) gives

CβRes¯ρ2t=Cβc2tββ3tβρ1c2t3ββ2=c23ρ1β3c2t2ββ,CβRes¯ρ2t=Cβd2tββ3tβρ1d2t3ββ2=d231ρβ3d2t2ββ. (35)

According to CβRes¯ρ20=0 and CβRes¯ρ20=0, we have c2=3ρ1β and d2=31ρβ. By taking into account the obtained coefficients, for j=3, we have

C2βRes¯ρ3t=C2βCβρ1+3ρ1βt2β2β2+c3t3β6β33tβρ1+6ρ1βt3β2β2+2c3t4β6β3=c318ρ1βtβ4c3t2ββ,C2βRes¯ρ3t=C2βCβ1ρ+31ρβt2β2β2+d3t3β6β33tβ1ρ+61ρβt3β2β2+2d3t4β6β3=d3181ρβtβ4d3t2ββ. (36)

Using the fact C2βRes¯ρ30=0 and CβRes¯ρ30=0 we have c3=0 and d3=0.

By the MATHEMATICA Software Package 12 and employing the process of Algorithm 1 for our present method, we deduced that

c4=18ρ1β2, d4=181ρβ2,
c5=0, d5=0,
c6=180ρ1β3, d6=1801ρβ3,
c7=0, d7=0,

Therefore, when j the fractional PS approximate solutions of (30) could be written as

ω_ρt=ρ1+3ρ1t2β2!β+18ρ1t4β4!β2+180ρ1t6β6!β3+,ω¯ρt=1ρ+31ρt2β2!β+181ρt4β4!β2+1801ρt6β6!β3+. (37)

In case β=1, the fractional expansions (37) reduced to the following classical expansions

ω_ρt=ρ1+3ρ1t22+3ρ1t44β2+3ρ1t612+,ω¯ρt=1ρ+31ρt22+31ρt44+31ρt612+. (38)

which converges to the exact solutions ω_ρt=12ρ13et21 and ω¯ρt=121ρ3et21.

Case II: If ωt is 2;β-fuzzy conformable differentiable, then the corresponding crisp system of fuzzy fractional IVPs (28) and (29) will be written in the following form

Cβω_ρt=2tβω¯ρt+1ρtβ,Cβω¯ρt=2tβω_ρt+ρ1tβ,ω_ρ0=ρ1,    ω¯ρ0=1ρ. (39)

The fuzzy exact solution at β=1 in the ρ-cut representation is ωtρ=121ρ,ρ113et2. By applying the RPS method, and using the j-th fractional residual functions Res¯ρjt and Res¯ρjt of the fractional IVPs, (39) could be expressed as

Res¯ρjt=Cβ1ρ+k=1jcktβkβkk!3tβ1ρk=1jdktβk+1βkk!,Res¯ρjt=Cβρ1+k=0jdktβkβkk!3tβρ1k=1jcktβk+1βkk!. (40)

Following the same procedure as mentioned above, the first six coefficients ck and dk, for k=1,2,3,4,5,6, are listed below. More coefficients can be computed in the same manner.

c1=0, d1=0,
c2=3β1ρ, d2=3βρ1,
c3=0, d3=0,
c4=18ρ1β2, d4=181ρβ2,
c5=0, d5=0,
c6=1801ρβ3, d6=180ρ1β3,

Consequently, the sixth fractional PS approximate solutions for fractional IVPs system (39) have the forms

ω_ρ6t=ρ1+31ρt2β2!β+18ρ1t4β4!β2+1801ρt6β6!β3,ω¯ρ6t=1ρ+3ρ1t2β2!β+181ρt4β4!β2+180ρ1t6β6!β3. (41)

In particular, when β=1, the fractional expansions (37) reduce to following finite series expansions

ω_ρ6t=ρ13ρ1t22+3ρ1t44ρ1t64,ω¯ρ6t=1ρ31ρt22+31ρt441ρt64, (42)

which agree with the first six terms of the McLaurin series of the exact solutions, ω_ρt=121ρ13et2 and ω¯ρt=12ρ113et2. Numerical simulation of the sixth fractional PS approximate solutions is performed for Application 2, case I at different values of β and ρ with some selected grid points with step size 0.2 on the interval 0,1 as shown in Table 3.

For the purpose of numerical comparisons, the absolute errors were calculated for Application 2, case I using the RPS method with the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method (RKHSM) method [53], for fixed value of ρ, and different values of t, where t0,0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1 as shown in Table 4.

It’s clear that from this table our method in comparison with the mentioned method is much better with a view to accuracy and applicability.

Graphically, to demonstrate the impact of parameters β and ρ on the behavior solutions, we plot the fuzzy exact and fuzzy sixth approximate solutions for Application 2, as shown in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4

6. Conclusions

In this analysis, fuzzy approximate solutions were created and studied for a certain class of FFDEs with fuzzy initial data by means of RPS approach under fuzzy conformable differentiability. The methodology for solving the target problem was based on converting it into two crisp systems of ordinary IVPs. Using the proposed approach, the fractional PS solutions were given in the parametric forms for fuzzy fractional IVPs. The benefit of employing the present approach is that it provides a rapidly convergent fractional PS with easily computable components using symbolic computation software without avoiding round-off errors and sometimes could be expressed in closed form. Two different fuzzy initial data are solved to show the applicability of the proposed approach and to test the accuracy of the RPS approach. The obtained results are compared with other existing approaches. Simulations of the obtained results are discussed quantitatively and graphically and shown that the behavior of the approximate solutions for different values of β and ρ continuously tends to the exact solutions. Therefore, the RPS approach is straightforward without using mathematical conditions in obtaining solutions of conformable FFDEs.
