Abstract
In this work, the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) has been used to find approximate solutions to the nonlinear
fractional-order Kawahara and modified Kawahara equations. The method convergence is controlled by a flexible function known
as the auxiliary function. The values of the unknown arbitrary constants in the auxiliary function are computed using the Caputo
derivative fractional-order and the well-known approach of least squares. Fractional-order derivatives are taken in the Caputo
sense with numerical values in the closed interval ½0, 1 . The suggested method is directly applied to fractional-order Kawahara
and modified Kawahara equations, with no need for small or large parameter assumptions. The numerical results obtained by
the proposed method are compared to the new iterative method (NIM). Results reveal that the proposed method converges
faster to the exact solution than other methods in the literature.
