Compact and noncompact structures for nonlinear fractional evolution equations

This Letter deals with compact and noncompact solutions for nonlinear evolution equations with time-fractional derivatives. We present a reliable approach of the homotopy perturbation method to handle nonlinear fractional evolution equations. The validity of the approach is verified through illustrative examples. New exact solitary wave and compacton solutions are developed. The proposed technique could lead to a promising approach for a wide class of nonlinear fractional evolution equations.
