Fadravi, Hadi Hosseini; Nik, Hassan Saberi; Buzhabadi, Reza Homotopy analysis method for solving foam drainage equation with space- and time-fractional derivatives. (English) Zbl 1234.35298 Int. J. Differ. Equ. 2011, Article ID 237045, 12 p. (2011). Summary: The analytical solution of the foam drainage equation with time- and space-fractional derivatives was derived by means of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Some examples are given and comparisons are made; the comparisons show that the homotopy analysis method is very effective and convenient. By choosing different values of the parameters \(\alpha, \beta\) in general formal numerical solutions, as a result, a very rapidly convergent series solution is obtained.
