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 [14]. 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 [1921]. 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 [2225]. 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

Dεßν,ε+6νϒ2ν2ν+ν33=0,0<ß1,(1)

where ϒ is a real constant. The wave function ν(, ɛ) has the scaling variables space () and time (ɛ), the terms νν and ν2ν represent non-linear wave steepen, and ν33 represents the wave dispersive effect.

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:

Dεßνψ,ενψ6νν2ψ3ν212νψ2+4νψ4=0,0<ß1.(2)

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.

Basic definitions

Definition 2.1. If ϖ:R[0,1] denotes a fuzzy set, it is understood to be a fuzzy set if the following main requirements hold true [4346]:

1. ϖ is normal (for some η0R;ϖϑ0=1);

2. ϖ is upper semi-continuous;

3. ϖϑ1ω+(1ω)ϑ2ϖϑ1ϖϑ2ω[0,1],ϑ1,ϑ2R,, i.e., ϖ is convex;

4. cl{ϑR,ϖ(ϑ)>0} is compact.

Definition 2.2. The fuzzy number ϖ is a r-level set expressed as [4346]

ϖr=νR:ϖν1,

where r ∈ [0, 1] and νR.

Definition 2.3. A fuzzy number’s parameterized variant is represented as [ϖ̲(r),ϖ̄(r)] such that r ∈ [0, 1] fulfills the following assumptions [4346]:

1. ϖ(r) is left continuous, left continuous at zero, non-decreasing, and over bounded (0,1];

2. ϖ(r) is right continuous, right continuous at zero, non-increasing, and over bounded (0,1];

3. ϖ̲(r)ϖ̄(r).

Definition 2.4. Suppose that there are fuzzy set numbers r ∈ [0, 1] and Y [4346] ρ1̃=ρ̲1,ρ1̄,ρ2̃=ρ2̲,ρ2̄, then the additions, subtractions, and multiplications, consequently, are defined as follows:

1. ρ1̃ρ2̃=ρ1̲(r)+ρ2̲(r),ρ1̄(r)+ρ2̄(r);

2. ρ1̃ρ2̃=ρ1̄(r)ρ2̲̄(r),ρ1̄(r)ρ2̄(r);

3. Yρ1̃=Yρ1̲,Yρ1̄Y0,Yρ1̄,Yρ1̲Y<0.

Definition 2.5. the fuzzy mappings Θ:Ẽ×ẼR have fuzzy two sets [4346] ρ1̃=ρ1̲,ρ1̄,ρ2̃=ρ2̲,ρ2̄, then Θ-distances between ρ1̃ and ρ2̃ is defined as

Θρ1̃,ρ2̃=supr0,1maxρ1̲rρ2̲r|,|ρ1̄rρ2̄r.

Theorem 2.1. Consider a fuzzy valued function E:RẼ such that Eγ0;r=E̲γ0;r, Ēγ0;r and r ∈ [0, 1]. Then [4346],

1. γ0;r and Eγ0;r are differentiable functions, if E is a (1)-differentiable function and

Eγ0r=E̲γ0;r,Ēγ0;r.

11. E̲γ0;r and Ēγ0;r are differentiable functions, if E is a (2)-differentiable function and

Eγ0r=Ēγ0;r,E̲γ0;r.

Definition 2.6. Assume that a fuzzy mapping νgH(r)=ν(r)CF[0,s]LF[0,s]. The fuzzy gH-fractional differentiability Caputo of the fuzzy value mappings nu is thus written as [4346]

gHDßνε=Ja1rßνrγ=1Γrßa1εε1ϑrß1νrϑdϑ,ßr1,r,rN,ε>a1.

The parametric values of ν=ν̲rε,ν̄rε,r[0,1] and ɛ10 ∈ (0, s), and Caputo fractional differential in the presence of fuzzy are expressed as

DigHßνε10r=DigHßν̲ε10,DigHθν̄ε10,r0,1,

where r = [r]

DigHßν̲ε10=1Γrß0εεxrß1drdxrν̲igHxdxε=ε10,DigHθν̄ε10=1Γrß0t1εxrß1drdxrν̄igHxdxε=ε10.

Definition 2.7. Suppose that fuzzy mappings ν̃εH̃1(0,T) and ß ∈ [0, 1], then the fuzzy gH-fractional differentiability Atangana–Baleanu of fuzzy value mappings is expressed as

gHDßνε=Bß1ß0t1ν̲xEßßεxß1ßdx.

Thus, the parameterized formulation of ν=ν̲rε,ν̄rε,r[0,1] and ɛ0 ∈ (0, s), and the fuzzy Atangana–Baleanu operator is defined by

DigHßABCν̃ε0;r=DigHßABCν̲ε0;r,DigHθABCνε0;r,r0,1,

where

DigHθABCν̲ε0;r=Bß1ß0t1ν̲igHxEθßεxθ1ßdxε=ε0,DigHθABCν̄ε0;r=Bß1ß0t1ν̄igHxEθßεxθ1ßdxε=ε0,

where B(ß) represents the function of normalization which is equal to 1 when ß is supposed to be 0 and 1. Moreover, we assume that form (i) gH exists. Now, there is no requirement to consider the differentiability of (ii) gH.

Definition 2.8. Suggest a continuous real-value mapping Ψ, and there is an inappropriate Riemann fuzzy integrable mappings expωσν̃ε on [0, + ). Then, the integral 0+expωσν̃εdε is recognized to be the Shehu fuzzy transformation, and it is noted over the set of mapping [4346]as follows:

S=ν̃g:A,p1,p2>0,ν̃ε<Aexpεψj, if ε1ȷ×0,+,

as

Sν̃ε=Sω,σ=0+expωσεν̃εdε,ω,σ>0.

Remark 1

In Equation 14, ν̃ satisfies the expectation of the reducing diameter ν̲, diameter ν̄ of a mapping of fuzzy ν. If σ = 1, then fuzzy Shehu transform is reduced to * Laplace transform [4346].

0+expωσεν̃εdε=0+expωσεν̲ε;rdε,0+expωσεν̄ε;rdε).

Moreover, by analyzing the traditional Shehu transformation [4346], we achieve

Sν̲ε;r=0+expωσεν̲ε;rdε,

and

Sν̄ε;r=0+expωσεν̄ε;rdε.

The aforementioned expression can then be expressed as

Sν̃ε=Sν̲ε;r,Sν̄ε;r=S̲ω,σ,S̄ω,σ.

Then, we shall define the Caputo generalized Hukuhara derivative’s fuzzy Shehu transformation as DεgHcνε.

Definition 2.9. Suppose there is a fuzzy integrable value mapping DεßgHcν̃ε, and νε is the primitive of DεßgHcν̃ε on [0, + ), then the CFD of order ß is expressed as [4346]

SDεßgHcν̃ε=ωσßSν̃εȷ=0r1ωσßȷ1ν̃ȷ0,ßr1,r,
ωσßSν̃εȷ=0r1ωσßȷ1f̃ȷ0=ωσßSν̲ε;rȷ=0r1ωσßȷ1ν̲ȷ0;r,ωσßSν̄ε;rȷ=0r1ωσßȷ1ν̄ȷ0;r.

Bokhari et al. defined the ABC operator’s fractional derivative in terms of the Shehu transform. Additionally, we extend the concept of fuzzy ABC fractional derivative in the context of a fuzzy Shehu transform as follows:

Definition 2.10. Consider νCF[0,s]LF[0,s] such that ν̃ε=ν̲ε,r,ν̄ε,r, r ∈ [0, 1]; then, the Shehu transformation of the fuzzy ABC of order ß ∈ [0, 1] is defined as follows:

SgHDεßν̃ε=Bß1ß+ßσωßṼσ,ωσων̃0.

Moreover, by applying the fact of Salahshour et al. [45], we obtain

Bß1ß+ßσω̃ßṼσ,ωωσν̃0=(Bß1ß+ßσω̃ßV̲σ,ω;rσων0;r,Bß1ß+ßσψθV̄σ,ω;rσω̃ν̄0;r).

Road map of the suggested technique

Consider the fractional fuzzy partial differential equation

SDεßABCν̃ψ,ε=SDψ2ν̃ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̃ψ,ε+k̃rFψ,ε,(3)

where ß ∈ (0, 1]; therefore, the Shehu transform of Equation 3 is

Bß1ß+ßσωßSν̃ψ,εBß1ß+ßσωßvων̃ψ,ξ,0=SDψ2ν̃ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̃ψ,ε+k̃rFψ,ε.

On using the initial condition, we obtain

Sν̃ψ,ε=gψ,ξω+1ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̃ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̃ψ,ε+k̃rFψ,ε.(4)

Decomposing the solution as ν̃(ψ,ε)=n=0ν̃n(ψ,ε), then (4) implies

Sn=0ν̃nψ,ε=gψ,ξω+1ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2n=0ν̃nψ,ε+Dψ3n=0ν̃nψ,ε+k̃rFψ,ε.(5)

Taking parts of the solution by the choice of comparison, we obtain

Sν̃0ψ,ε=gψ,ξω+1ß+ßσωßBßSk̃rFψ,ε.Sν̃1ψ,ε=1ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̃0ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̃0ψ,ε.Sν̃2ψ,ε=1ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̃1ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̃1ψ,ε.Sν̃n+1ψ,ε=1ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̃nψ,ε+Dψ3ν̃nψ,ε.(6)

Taking the inverse Shehu transform, we obtain

ν̲0ψ,ε=gψ,ξ+S11ß+ßσωßBßSk̲rFψ,ε,ν̄0ψ,ε=gψ,ξ+S11ß+ßσωßBßSk̄rFψ,ε,ν̲1ψ,ε=S11ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̲0ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̲0ψ,ε,ν̄1ψ,ε=S11ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̄0ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̄0ψ,ε,ν̲2ψ,ε=S11ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̲1ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̲1ψ,ε,ν̄2ψ,ε=S11ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̄1ψ,ε+Dψ3ν̄1ψ,ε,ν̲n+1ψ,ε=S11ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̲nψ,ε+Dψ3ν̲nψ,ε,ν̄n+1ψ,ε=S11ß+ßσωßBßSDψ2ν̄nψ,ε+Dψ3ν̄nψ,ε.(7)

Thus, the solution becomes

ν̲ψ,ε=ν̲0ψ,ε+ν̲1ψ,ε+ν̲2ψ,ε+,ν̄ψ,ε=ν̄0ψ,ε+ν̄1ψ,ε+ν̄2ψ,ε+.(8)

Equation 8 is the solution in series form.

Implementation

Example 4.1. Consider the fractional fuzzy Gardner equation as follows:

DεßABCν̃ψ,ε+6ν̃ψ,εϒ2ν̃2ψ,εν̃ψ,εψ+ν̃3ψ,εψ3=0,0<ß1,(9)

with the fuzzy initial condition

ν̃ψ,0=k̃12+12tanhψ2.(10)

Applying the proposed Equation 7, we achieve

ν̲0ψ,ε=k̲r12+12tanhψ2,ν̄0ψ,ε=k̄r12+12tanhψ2,ν̲1ψ,ε=k̲rsech2ψ21+4+3ϒ2coshψ+31+ϒ2sinhψ8×1BßßεßΓß+1+1ß,ν̄1ψ,ε=k̄rsech2ψ21+4+3ϒ2coshψ+31+ϒ2sinhψ8×1BßßεßΓß+1+1ß,(11)

The higher terms can also be obtained in a similar manner. Equation 8 provides solution in series form; consequently, we write

ν̃ψ,ε=ν̃0ψ,ε+ν̃1ψ,ε+ν̃2ψ,ε+ν̃3ψ,ε+ν̃4ψ,ε+,(13)

while, in lower and upper portion types, it is, respectively, written as

ν̲ψ,ε=ν̲0ψ,ε+ν̲1ψ,ε+ν̲2ψ,ε+ν̲3ψ,ε+ν̲4ψ,ε+,ν̄ψ,ε=ν̄0ψ,ε+ν̄1ψ,ε+ν̄2ψ,ε+ν̄3ψ,ε+ν̄4ψ,ε+.(14)

The exact result is given as

ν̃ψ,ε=k̃12+12tanhψε2.(16)

Example 4.2. Consider the fractional fuzzy Cahn–Hilliard equation as follows:

Dεßν̃ψ,εν̃ψ,εψ6ν̃ψ,εν̃2ψ,εψ3ν̃2ψ,ε12ν̃ψ,εψ2+4ν̃ψ,εψ4=0,0<ß1,(17)

with the fuzzy initial condition

ν̃ψ,0=k̃tanhψ2.(18)

Applying the system of Equation 7, we achieve

ν̲0ψ,ε=k̲rtanhψ2,ν̄0ψ,ε=k̄rtanhψ2,ν̲1ψ,ε=k̲rsech2ψ221BßßεßΓß+1+1ß,ν̄1ψ,ε=k̄rsech2ψ221BßßεßΓß+1+1ß,(19)

The higher terms can also be obtained in a similar manner. Equation 8 provides solution in series form; consequently, we write

ν̃ψ,ε=ν̃0ψ,ε+ν̃1ψ,ε+ν̃2ψ,ε+ν̃3ψ,ε+ν̃4ψ,ε+.(21)

In the lower and upper portion types, it is, respectively, written as

ν̲ψ,ε=ν̲0ψ,ε+ν̲1ψ,ε+ν̲2ψ,ε+ν̲3ψ,ε+ν̲4ψ,ε+,ν̄ψ,ε=ν̄0ψ,ε+ν̄1ψ,ε+ν̄2ψ,ε+ν̄3ψ,ε+ν̄4ψ,ε+.(22)

The exact result is

ν̃ψ,ε=k̃tanhψ+ε2.(24)

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.
