This article focuses on the investigation and computation of solutions to fuzzy fractional-order Cahn–Hilliard and Gardner equations. The study hybridizes the fuzzy Gardner and Cahn–Hilliard equation into two equations using hybrid techniques and the concept of a parametric fuzzy number. To explore these equations, a combination of a novel iterative approach and the Shehu transformation is employed. The article presents detailed procedures for computing a series of solutions to the fractional-order Cahn–Hilliard and Gardner problem. The applied techniques not only offer precision, simplicity, and efficacy but also outperform other existing technologies. Additionally, several examples are solved to validate the proposed theoretical solution.
Introduction
In mathematics, fractional calculus is a useful tool for dealing with ambiguity, recognizing emotional or confusing circumstances, and providing more general answers. Physical models of real-world occurrences may contain significant uncertainty due to a variety of variables. It appears that fuzzy sets can be used to replicate the uncertainty caused by imprecision and ambiguity. If data involve uncertainty, we use it in the medical, environmental, economic, physical, and social sciences. Zadeh investigated these concerns when he contributed fuzziness to set theory in 1965. Fractional calculus has risen in popularity over the last 20 years as a result of its numerous applications in practical research [1–4]. In the behavior of the aforementioned system processes, there are numerous examples of fuzzy uncertainty as opposed to stochastic uncertainty. Many authors have focused on the theoretical foundations of fuzzy problems in recent years. Fractional fuzzy differential equations can be used in civil engineering, population models, electro-hydraulics models, and weapon systems, among others. Fractional fuzzy differential equations are also studied in real-world contexts such as medicine [6], practical systems [7], the golden mean [5], gravity, quantum optics [8], and engineering phenomena. Zadeh [9] became familiar with fuzzy set theory for the first time. The idea of a fuzzy number and its use in fuzzy controls [10] and approximation reasoning problems [11] then became the subjects of research. It is challenging to effectively represent a variety of circumstances using real numbers in data analysis. Later, the fundamentals of fuzzy number arithmetic were specified by Mizumoto and Tanaka [12, 13], Dubois and Prade [14, 15], Nahmias [17], and Ralescu [16]. They used a variety of intervals, such as ϱ-levels, 0 < ϱ ≤ 1, [18], to compute the fuzzy number. It contains information on fuzzy differential equations as well as the fundamental concepts of non-crisp sets. Equations of differential generalization are the recommended notions. Numerous academics have shown interest in this novel idea. Applications of fractional-order differential equations in real-world scenarios are significant; they may be found in fields like engineering, chemistry, and physics. The fractional differential equation is a helpful tool for representing non-linear events in scientific and engineering models. In applied mathematics and engineering, partial differential equations (PDEs), particularly non-linear PDEs, have been utilized to simulate a wide range of scientific phenomena.
Fractional differential equations have received an immense attention in the last two decades because of their ability to mimic a wide range of occurrences in a variety of academic domains and practical applications. Many physical applications in engineering and science can be described using fractional differential equations, which are particularly useful for a wide range of physical challenges. Because these equations are represented by fractional linear and non-linear PDEs, fractional differential equations must be solved [19–21]. The most significant processes occurring in the world are described by non-linear equations. Non-linear partial differential equations remain a challenging topic in both applied mathematics and physics, requiring the employment of a variety of methods to arrive at creative approximations or precise solutions [22–25]. Fractional differential equations have been solved using a variety of numerical and approximation methods. There have been several innovative ways for solving fractional differential equations recently, some of which include the following: the iterative Laplace transform method (ILTM) [27], differential transform method (FDTM) [26], Adomain decomposition technique [29], variational iteration transform technique [30], fractional Adomian decomposition method (FADM) [28], natural decomposition technique [32], and fractional homotopy perturbation technique [31]. The primary goal of this article is to use the natural decomposition technique, one of the most efficient approaches, to solve non-linear fractional Cahn–Hilliard and Gardner equations. Natural decomposition methods do not need discretization, linearization, perturbation, or prescriptive assumptions to prevent round-off errors. The KdV and modified KdV equations were combined to create the Gardner equation [33], which is used to explain internal solitary waves in shallow water. In physics, Gardner’s equation is often applied in fields including quantum field theory, fluid physics, and plasma physics [34, 35]. It also covers a variety of wave events in solid and plasma states [36]. We quickly review the fractional Gardner (FG) equation of the form
where ϒ is a real constant. The wave function ν(℘, ɛ) has the scaling variables space (℘) and time (ɛ), the terms
In 1958, Cahn and Hilliard [37] developed the Cahn–Hilliard equation to represent the phase separation of a binary alloy at the critical temperature. This equation is essential to several outstanding scientific phenomena, such as phase separation, phase-ordering dynamics, and spinodal decomposition. In this context, the fractional Cahn–Hilliard (FCH) equation is expressed as follows:
Several techniques are applied to analyze the Cahn–Hilliard and Gardner equations, such as the Adomian decomposition method [38], modified Kudryashov method [39], reduced differential transform technique [40], residual power series technique [41], and homotopy perturbation method [42].
The article is organized as follows: theBasic definitionsection provides the basic definition of a fractional fuzzy set. Methodology of the iterative transform method is described in the Roadmap of the suggested techniquesection. The Implementation section describes the application of numerical fuzzy problems, which is followed by the conclusion.

Conclusion
The Atangana–Baleanu operator is used in this work to attempt a semi-analytic solution to the fuzzy fractional Gardner and Cahn–Hilliard equations. As a result, in this case, fuzzy operators are better suited to describe the physical phenomena. Using a fuzzy method that takes into account the starting condition’s uncertainty, we computed the solutions to the Gardner and Cahn–Hilliard equations. This study generalized the fuzzy fractional of the Gardner and Cahn–Hilliard equations. Next, we created the approximate parametric formulation of the suggested problem using a novel iterative transform technique. We demonstrated many examples that supported the methodology’s intended use and created a parametric solution for each case. Last but not least, solving a wide variety of fuzzy fractional partial differential equations analytically is not an easy task.
