The goal of this paper is to examine the possible extension of the singular perturbation differential equation to the concept offractional order derivative To achieve this we presented a review of the concept of fractional calculus We make use of theLaplace transform operator to derive exact solution of singular perturbation fractional linear differential equations We makeuse of the methodology of three analytical methods to present exact and approximate solution of the singular perturbationfractional nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential equation These methods are including the regular perturbation method thenew development of the variational iteration method and the homotopy decomposition method
1 Introduction
Singular perturbation problems have constantly been playingan outstanding character in cooperation in the theory ofdifferential equations and in their applications to the physicalworld With a loose knot speaking singularly perturbeddifferential equations are pigeonholed by the presence ofquite a lot of essentially different scalesThe existence of thesescales gives one a small parameter and thus permits one to useperturbation methods It is however typical of singular per-turbation problems that a straight forward perturbation failsto be uniformly valid Traditionally this type of behaviourwhich is abundant in applications has been tackled by a largevariety of methods such as matched asymptotic expansionsand averaging Nevertheless many fundamental issues stillremain unresolved Singular perturbation theory is a rich andongoing area of exploration for mathematicians physicistsand other researchers The methods used to tackle problemsin this field are many The more basic of these include themethod of matched asymptotic expansions [1ndash4] and WKBapproximation for spatial problems [5ndash7] and in time thePoincare-Lindstedt method [8 9] the method of multiplescales [10 11] and periodic averaging [12 13]
While searching in the literature it is observed thatattention has not been paid to the extension of this class of
ordinary and partial differential equations to the concept offractional calculus In order to accommodate readers thatare not acquainted with the concept of fractional calculusit is perhaps important to recall that fractional calculusthe art of noninteger order integrals and derivatives hasgained an interestingmomentum in recent years [14ndash20]Theapplications are ranging from pure and applied mathematicsIt is easy to find experts working in this field because ofits beauty while others look for applications The mainaim of this work is to provide impetus motivation andto bring together researchers and scientists working in thefields of fractional calculus and perturbation method byproviding some useful analytical techniques to derive exactand approximate solutions of this class of equations Thegeneral singular perturbation fractional differential equationconsidered in this paper is given as follows

2 Review of Fractional Calculus
A significant tip is that the fractional derivative at a point 119909 isa local property only when 119886 is an integer in noninteger caseswe cannot say that the fractional derivative at 119909 of a function119891 depends only on values of 119891 very near 119909 in the way thatinteger-power derivatives unquestionably do For that reasonit is anticipated that the philosophy involves some class ofboundary conditions involving information on the functionfurther out To use a metaphor the fractional derivativerequires some tangentialvision As far as the existence of sucha philosophy is concerned the brass tacks of the subject werelaid by Liouville in a paper from 1832
21 Definitions
Definition 1 (Riemann-Liouville integral) The classical formof fractional calculus is given by the Riemann-Liouville inte-gral The theory for periodic functions therefore includingthe ldquoboundary conditionrdquo of repeating after a period is theWeyl integral The Riemann-Liouville integral of order 120572 of afunction 119891(119909) is given by

Definition 2 (Hadamard fractional integral) The Hadamardfractional integral is introduced by Hadamard [21] and isgiven by the following formula

Definition 3 (Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative) Thecorresponding derivative is calculated using Lagrangersquos rulefor differential operators Computing 119899th order derivativeover the integral of order (119899 minus 120572) the 120572 order derivative isobtained It is important to remark that 119899 is the nearest integerbigger than 120572 Not in the same line of ideas like in the caseof classical Newtonian derivatives a fractional derivative isdefined via a fractional integral as follows

Definition 4 (Caputo fractional derivative) There is anotheralternative for computing fractional derivatives that is theCaputo fractional derivative It was introduced by Caputoand Michel in his 1967 paper [22] In contrast to theRiemann-Liouville fractional derivative when solving differ-ential equations using Caputorsquos definition it is not necessaryto define the fractional order initial conditions Caputorsquosdefinition is illustrated as follows

The above definitions are commonly used in pure and appliedmathematics
Definition 5 If we make use of the primary definition ofan integral as being the antiderivative it would be perhapstempting to propose another definition of fractional deriva-tive which would consist of replacing 120572 by minus120572 in right handof (2) as follows
119886119863120572
119905119891 (119909) =

The above expression is much simpler to handle on onehand on the other hand it is representing only with a singleintegral The function in this case does not need to be dif-ferentiable in order to compute its fractional derivative Notethat the properties of this derivative will not be presented inthis present work
Definition 6 The Laplace transform is a widely used integraltransformwithmany applications in physics and engineeringThe Laplace transform of the function119891 is defined as follows
L (119891 (119909)) (119904) = int

22 Properties of Fractional Calculus Two properties of theLaplace transform can be used to define the fractional integraloperator as follows
L (119868 (119891)) = L(int
119909

119891 (120591) 119889120591) (119904)

(8)
Now using the induction method we arrive at the following
L (119868119899
(119891)) =1
119904119899L (119891 (119909)) (119904) (9)
From the above equation we can obtain the following
L (119868119899
(119891)) =1

It is well-known from the convolution theorem of the Laplacetransform that
L (119891 lowast 119892 (119909)) (119904) = L (119891 (119909)) (119904) sdotL (119892 (119909)) (119904) (11)

Now from the previous formula if we chose for 119892(119909) = 119909120572minus1
with the information of (10) the fractional integral operatorcan be defined as follows
119886119863120572

(12)
According to the classical Newtonian derivative the Leibnizrule is given as
119889119899
[119891 sdot 119892]
119889119909119899=

Not in the same line of idea like in the case of classicalNewtonian derivatives the Leibniz rule for the fractionalderivative is given as follows
119886119863120572

(14)
The above result is achieved using a simple integration bypart Now if in addition the functions119891 and 119892 are continuoustogether with their entire derivative on [0 119909] then

(15)
In that case we have the following Leibniz rule for fractionalderivative
119886119863120572

Let us observe that Laplace transformof the fractional deriva-tive with both Riemann-Liouville and Caputo as follows
L (119862

119905119891 (119909)) (119904) = 119904

The above use the usual initial conditions or values of thefunctions On the other hand we have the Riemann-Liouvillesuch that
L (0119863120572
119905119891 (119909)) (119904) = 119904

The abovemakes use of the unusual initial value or conditionsof the function therefore it is not suitable for the real worldproblems
3 Analytical Methods
In this section make use of some existing analytical methodsto present the exact and approximate solution of some singu-lar perturbation fractional equation (1) It is very importantto note that if the nonlinear term in (1) is zero then it isstraightforward to derive the exact solution of (1) using theLaplace transforms method as follows
31 Laplace Transform Method The first step in this methodconsists of applying the Laplace transform on both sites ofequation to obtain for the case of Caputo derivative as follows
119904120572
119880 (119904) minus
119899minus1
sum
119896=0
119904120572minus119896minus1
119906(119896)
(0) + 120576119860 (119880 (119904)) = 119865120576(119904) (19)
For simplicity we assume that the linear part of the transfor-mation can be written as follows
119860 (119880 (119904)) = 119880 (119904)
119899minus1
sum
119896=0
119892119896(119904 120576) minus ℎ (119904 120576) (20)
We can factorize the term with 119880(119904 120576) then solving 119880(119904 120576)we obtain
119880 (119904 120576) =119865120576(119904) + sum
119899minus1
119896=0119904120572minus119896minus1
119906(119896)
(0) + ℎ (119904 120576)
sum119899minus1
119896=0119892119896(119904 120576) + 119904120572
(21)
Under the condition that the right hand side of the aboveequation is Laplace invertible then we obtain the exactsolution of (1) as follows
119906 (119909 120576) = Lminus1
(119865120576(119904) + sum
119899minus1
119896=0119904120572minus119896minus1

119896=0119892119896(119904 120576) + 119904120572
)
(22)
In case that the nonlinear part is different to zero otheranalytical methods in this area have been proposed
32TheRegular PerturbationMethod There are several exist-ing perturbation methods for instance match asymptoticexpansion WKB method the multiple-scale analysis andregular perturbation methods [23ndash26] The regular pertur-bation method is perhaps the most naive way to try to solveproblem (1) and this consists of assuming an expansion of thePoincare type as follows
119906 (119909 120576) =
infin
sum
119899=0
119906119899(119909) 120576119899
(23)
On substituting the above in problem (1) one obtains asequence as follows
1198750 119872(119906
0 0) = 0
1198751 1198721(1199060 1199061 0) = 0
119875119899 119872119899(1199060 1199061 1199062 119906
119899) = 0
(24)

The above method has some limitations for instance thenonlinear part can be very difficult to handle for stronglinearity like 119906
119899 119899 ge 3 also the 119872119899(1199060 1199061 1199062 119906
119899) = 0
can also be very difficult to solve Both regular and singularperturbation theory are frequently used in physics and engi-neering Perturbation theory can fail when the system cantransition to a different phase of matter with a qualitativelydifferent behavior that cannot be modeled by the physicalformulas put into the perturbation theory for instance a solidcrystal melting into a liquid In some cases this failure man-ifests itself by divergent behavior of the perturbation seriesSuch divergent series can sometimes be resumed using tech-niques such as Borel resummation However perturbationtechniques can be also used to find approximate solutions tononlinear differential equations Examples of techniques usedto find approximate solutions to these types of problems arethe Lindstedt-Poincare technique the method of harmonicbalancing and the method of multiple time scales
33 Some Iteration Methods Many iterations methods havebeen proposed in the literature so far Some of them providepowerful tools to handle nonlinear and linear equationsranging from ordinary derivatives to fractional derivativesThese techniques are namely the homotopy perturbationmethods (HPM) [27] the homotopy decomposition method[28ndash30] the Adomian decomposition method [31 32] thevariational iteration method [33 34] and the Bernsteincollateral method [35] These mentioned methods have beenused to handle many problems across the sciences In somecases the above iterations produce the exact solutions andalso approximate solutions for strong nonlinear equations

To solve the above equation we apply the Laplace transformon both sides of (25) to obtain

Here the term is

Now substituting the above expression (27) into (26) weobtain
119904120572
119880 (119904) minus 119904120572minus1

1198801015840
(119904) = 119865120576(119904)
(28)
The above equation can be reformulated as follows
119895 (119904 120576 120572)119880 (119904) + 1198801015840
(119904) = 119866 (119904 120576 120572) (29)

42 Iterations and Regular Perturbation Methods Nonlin-ear Case In this section we compare the methodologyof some iteration methods namely homotopy decomposi-tion method variational iteration method and the regularperturbation method for solving the nonlinear singularperturbation fractional differential equation The basic ideaof HDM can be found in [28ndash30] and the variational iterationmethod can be found in [33 34]

Thenext step is to assume that the solution of (38) is in a seriesform as

422 Variational Iteration Method In its initial develop-ment the essential nature of the method was to construct thefollowing correction functional for general equation when 120572

(44)
where 120582(119905 120591) is the so-called Lagrange multiplier [33] and119908119899(119909 119905) is the 119899-approximate solution Therefore in their
work they apply the new development of the VIM proposedin [33] to find the Lagrange multiplier In this new VIM thefirst step of the basic character of the method is to apply theLaplace transform on both sides of (1) to obtain

(45)
The recursive formula of (1) can now be used to put forwardthe main recursive method connecting the Lagrange multi-plier as

The next concern in this approach is to solve for 1199060(119905) and
substitute it in 1205761 to find 120576

we can employ themethodology of homotopy decompositionmethod as follows First we transform the equation tofractional integral equation as

Then the solution of (37) via the regular perturbationmethod will be

119899=0
120576119899

Remark 10 The regular perturbation method required a lotof time and also the method is very difficult to handle
5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations

2 Review of Fractional Calculus
A significant tip is that the fractional derivative at a point 119909 isa local property only when 119886 is an integer in noninteger caseswe cannot say that the fractional derivative at 119909 of a function119891 depends only on values of 119891 very near 119909 in the way thatinteger-power derivatives unquestionably do For that reasonit is anticipated that the philosophy involves some class ofboundary conditions involving information on the functionfurther out To use a metaphor the fractional derivativerequires some tangentialvision As far as the existence of sucha philosophy is concerned the brass tacks of the subject werelaid by Liouville in a paper from 1832
21 Definitions
Definition 1 (Riemann-Liouville integral) The classical formof fractional calculus is given by the Riemann-Liouville inte-gral The theory for periodic functions therefore includingthe ldquoboundary conditionrdquo of repeating after a period is theWeyl integral The Riemann-Liouville integral of order 120572 of afunction 119891(119909) is given by

Definition 2 (Hadamard fractional integral) The Hadamardfractional integral is introduced by Hadamard [21] and isgiven by the following formula

Definition 3 (Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative) Thecorresponding derivative is calculated using Lagrangersquos rulefor differential operators Computing 119899th order derivativeover the integral of order (119899 minus 120572) the 120572 order derivative isobtained It is important to remark that 119899 is the nearest integerbigger than 120572 Not in the same line of ideas like in the caseof classical Newtonian derivatives a fractional derivative isdefined via a fractional integral as follows

Definition 4 (Caputo fractional derivative) There is anotheralternative for computing fractional derivatives that is theCaputo fractional derivative It was introduced by Caputoand Michel in his 1967 paper [22] In contrast to theRiemann-Liouville fractional derivative when solving differ-ential equations using Caputorsquos definition it is not necessaryto define the fractional order initial conditions Caputorsquosdefinition is illustrated as follows

(5)
The above definitions are commonly used in pure and appliedmathematics
Definition 5 If we make use of the primary definition ofan integral as being the antiderivative it would be perhapstempting to propose another definition of fractional deriva-tive which would consist of replacing 120572 by minus120572 in right handof (2) as follows
119886119863120572
119905119891 (119909) =

119891 (119905) 119889119905 (6)
The above expression is much simpler to handle on onehand on the other hand it is representing only with a singleintegral The function in this case does not need to be dif-ferentiable in order to compute its fractional derivative Notethat the properties of this derivative will not be presented inthis present work
Definition 6 The Laplace transform is a widely used integraltransformwithmany applications in physics and engineeringThe Laplace transform of the function119891 is defined as follows
L (119891 (119909)) (119904) = int
infin

119891 (119909) 119889119909 (7)
22 Properties of Fractional Calculus Two properties of theLaplace transform can be used to define the fractional integraloperator as follows
L (119868 (119891)) = L(int
119909

119891 (120591) 119889120591) (119904)

=1

(8)
Now using the induction method we arrive at the following
L (119868119899
(119891)) =1
119904119899L (119891 (119909)) (119904) (9)
From the above equation we can obtain the following
L (119868119899
(119891)) =1

119904119899L (119891 (119909)) (119904))
(10)
It is well-known from the convolution theorem of the Laplacetransform that
L (119891 lowast 119892 (119909)) (119904) = L (119891 (119909)) (119904) sdotL (119892 (119909)) (119904) (11)
The Scientific World Journal 3
Now from the previous formula if we chose for 119892(119909) = 119909120572minus1
with the information of (10) the fractional integral operatorcan be defined as follows
119886119863120572

According to the classical Newtonian derivative the Leibnizrule is given as

Not in the same line of idea like in the case of classicalNewtonian derivatives the Leibniz rule for the fractionalderivative is given as follows

3 Analytical Methods
In this section make use of some existing analytical methodsto present the exact and approximate solution of some singu-lar perturbation fractional equation (1) It is very importantto note that if the nonlinear term in (1) is zero then it isstraightforward to derive the exact solution of (1) using theLaplace transforms method as follows
31 Laplace Transform Method The first step in this methodconsists of applying the Laplace transform on both sites ofequation to obtain for the case of Caputo derivative as follows

119899minus1

(0) + 120576119860 (119880 (119904)) = 119865120576(119904) (19)
For simplicity we assume that the linear part of the transfor-mation can be written as follows
119860 (119880 (119904)) = 119880 (119904)
119899minus1
sum
119896=0
119892119896(119904 120576) minus ℎ (119904 120576) (20)
We can factorize the term with 119880(119904 120576) then solving 119880(119904 120576)we obtain
119880 (119904 120576) =119865120576(119904) + sum
119899minus1
119896=0119904120572minus119896minus1

119896=0119892119896(119904 120576) + 119904120572
(21)
Under the condition that the right hand side of the aboveequation is Laplace invertible then we obtain the exactsolution of (1) as follows
119906 (119909 120576) = Lminus1
(119865120576(119904) + sum
119899minus1

119896=0119892119896(119904 120576) + 119904120572
)
(22)
In case that the nonlinear part is different to zero otheranalytical methods in this area have been proposed
32TheRegular PerturbationMethod There are several exist-ing perturbation methods for instance match asymptoticexpansion WKB method the multiple-scale analysis andregular perturbation methods [23ndash26] The regular pertur-bation method is perhaps the most naive way to try to solveproblem (1) and this consists of assuming an expansion of thePoincare type as follows
119906 (119909 120576) =
infin
sum
119899=0
119906119899(119909) 120576119899
(23)
On substituting the above in problem (1) one obtains asequence as follows
1198750 119872(119906
0 0) = 0
1198751 1198721(1199060 1199061 0) = 0
119875119899 119872119899(1199060 1199061 1199062 119906
119899) = 0

The above method has some limitations for instance thenonlinear part can be very difficult to handle for stronglinearity like 119906

119899) = 0
can also be very difficult to solve Both regular and singularperturbation theory are frequently used in physics and engi-neering Perturbation theory can fail when the system cantransition to a different phase of matter with a qualitativelydifferent behavior that cannot be modeled by the physicalformulas put into the perturbation theory for instance a solidcrystal melting into a liquid In some cases this failure man-ifests itself by divergent behavior of the perturbation seriesSuch divergent series can sometimes be resumed using tech-niques such as Borel resummation However perturbationtechniques can be also used to find approximate solutions tononlinear differential equations Examples of techniques usedto find approximate solutions to these types of problems arethe Lindstedt-Poincare technique the method of harmonicbalancing and the method of multiple time scales
33 Some Iteration Methods Many iterations methods havebeen proposed in the literature so far Some of them providepowerful tools to handle nonlinear and linear equationsranging from ordinary derivatives to fractional derivativesThese techniques are namely the homotopy perturbationmethods (HPM) [27] the homotopy decomposition method[28ndash30] the Adomian decomposition method [31 32] thevariational iteration method [33 34] and the Bernsteincollateral method [35] These mentioned methods have beenused to handle many problems across the sciences In somecases the above iterations produce the exact solutions andalso approximate solutions for strong nonlinear equations

1198801015840
(119904) = 119865120576(119904)
(28)
The above equation can be reformulated as follows
119895 (119904 120576 120572)119880 (119904) + 1198801015840
(119904) = 119866 (119904 120576 120572) (29)

422 Variational Iteration Method In its initial develop-ment the essential nature of the method was to construct thefollowing correction functional for general equation when 120572
is a natural number

where 120582(119905 120591) is the so-called Lagrange multiplier [33] and119908119899(119909 119905) is the 119899-approximate solution Therefore in their
work they apply the new development of the VIM proposedin [33] to find the Lagrange multiplier In this new VIM thefirst step of the basic character of the method is to apply theLaplace transform on both sides of (1) to obtain

(45)
The recursive formula of (1) can now be used to put forwardthe main recursive method connecting the Lagrange multi-plier as

Now applying the inverse Laplace transform on both sides of(46) we obtain the following iteration

5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations

Now from the previous formula if we chose for 119892(119909) = 119909120572minus1
with the information of (10) the fractional integral operatorcan be defined as follows

According to the classical Newtonian derivative the Leibnizrule is given as
119889119899

Not in the same line of idea like in the case of classicalNewtonian derivatives the Leibniz rule for the fractionalderivative is given as follows
119886119863120572
119905(119891 (119909) 119892 (119909))

119889120595
(14)
The above result is achieved using a simple integration bypart Now if in addition the functions119891 and 119892 are continuoustogether with their entire derivative on [0 119909] then

(15)
In that case we have the following Leibniz rule for fractionalderivative
119886119863120572
119905(119891 (119909) 119892 (119909)) =

Let us observe that Laplace transformof the fractional deriva-tive with both Riemann-Liouville and Caputo as follows
L (119862

(17)
The above use the usual initial conditions or values of thefunctions On the other hand we have the Riemann-Liouvillesuch that
L (0119863120572
119905119891 (119909)) (119904) = 119904

The abovemakes use of the unusual initial value or conditionsof the function therefore it is not suitable for the real worldproblems
3 Analytical Methods
In this section make use of some existing analytical methodsto present the exact and approximate solution of some singu-lar perturbation fractional equation (1) It is very importantto note that if the nonlinear term in (1) is zero then it isstraightforward to derive the exact solution of (1) using theLaplace transforms method as follows
31 Laplace Transform Method The first step in this methodconsists of applying the Laplace transform on both sites ofequation to obtain for the case of Caputo derivative as follows
119904120572
119880 (119904) minus
119899minus1
sum
119896=0
119904120572minus119896minus1
119906(119896)
(0) + 120576119860 (119880 (119904)) = 119865120576(119904) (19)
For simplicity we assume that the linear part of the transfor-mation can be written as follows
119860 (119880 (119904)) = 119880 (119904)
119899minus1
sum
119896=0
119892119896(119904 120576) minus ℎ (119904 120576) (20)
We can factorize the term with 119880(119904 120576) then solving 119880(119904 120576)we obtain
119880 (119904 120576) =119865120576(119904) + sum
119899minus1
119896=0119904120572minus119896minus1
119906(119896)
(0) + ℎ (119904 120576)
sum119899minus1
119896=0119892119896(119904 120576) + 119904120572
(21)
Under the condition that the right hand side of the aboveequation is Laplace invertible then we obtain the exactsolution of (1) as follows
119906 (119909 120576) = Lminus1
(119865120576(119904) + sum
119899minus1
119896=0119904120572minus119896minus1
119906(119896)
(0) + ℎ (119904 120576)
sum119899minus1
119896=0119892119896(119904 120576) + 119904120572
)
(22)
In case that the nonlinear part is different to zero otheranalytical methods in this area have been proposed
32TheRegular PerturbationMethod There are several exist-ing perturbation methods for instance match asymptoticexpansion WKB method the multiple-scale analysis andregular perturbation methods [23ndash26] The regular pertur-bation method is perhaps the most naive way to try to solveproblem (1) and this consists of assuming an expansion of thePoincare type as follows
119906 (119909 120576) =
infin
sum
119899=0
119906119899(119909) 120576119899
(23)
On substituting the above in problem (1) one obtains asequence as follows
1198750 119872(119906
0 0) = 0
1198751 1198721(1199060 1199061 0) = 0
119875119899 119872119899(1199060 1199061 1199062 119906
119899) = 0
(24)

The above method has some limitations for instance thenonlinear part can be very difficult to handle for stronglinearity like 119906
119899 119899 ge 3 also the 119872119899(1199060 1199061 1199062 119906
119899) = 0
can also be very difficult to solve Both regular and singularperturbation theory are frequently used in physics and engi-neering Perturbation theory can fail when the system cantransition to a different phase of matter with a qualitativelydifferent behavior that cannot be modeled by the physicalformulas put into the perturbation theory for instance a solidcrystal melting into a liquid In some cases this failure man-ifests itself by divergent behavior of the perturbation seriesSuch divergent series can sometimes be resumed using tech-niques such as Borel resummation However perturbationtechniques can be also used to find approximate solutions tononlinear differential equations Examples of techniques usedto find approximate solutions to these types of problems arethe Lindstedt-Poincare technique the method of harmonicbalancing and the method of multiple time scales
33 Some Iteration Methods Many iterations methods havebeen proposed in the literature so far Some of them providepowerful tools to handle nonlinear and linear equationsranging from ordinary derivatives to fractional derivativesThese techniques are namely the homotopy perturbationmethods (HPM) [27] the homotopy decomposition method[28ndash30] the Adomian decomposition method [31 32] thevariational iteration method [33 34] and the Bernsteincollateral method [35] These mentioned methods have beenused to handle many problems across the sciences In somecases the above iterations produce the exact solutions andalso approximate solutions for strong nonlinear equations

To solve the above equation we apply the Laplace transformon both sides of (25) to obtain

Here the term is

Now substituting the above expression (27) into (26) weobtain
119904120572
119880 (119904) minus 119904120572minus1
119906 (0) + (120576 + 1) (119904119880 (119904) minus 119906 (0))

1198801015840
(119904) = 119865120576(119904)
(28)
The above equation can be reformulated as follows
119895 (119904 120576 120572)119880 (119904) + 1198801015840
(119904) = 119866 (119904 120576 120572) (29)
The general solution of the above equation is given as

422 Variational Iteration Method In its initial develop-ment the essential nature of the method was to construct thefollowing correction functional for general equation when 120572
is a natural number

(44)
where 120582(119905 120591) is the so-called Lagrange multiplier [33] and119908119899(119909 119905) is the 119899-approximate solution Therefore in their
work they apply the new development of the VIM proposedin [33] to find the Lagrange multiplier In this new VIM thefirst step of the basic character of the method is to apply theLaplace transform on both sides of (1) to obtain

(45)
The recursive formula of (1) can now be used to put forwardthe main recursive method connecting the Lagrange multi-plier as

Now applying the inverse Laplace transform on both sides of(46) we obtain the following iteration

5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations

The above method has some limitations for instance thenonlinear part can be very difficult to handle for stronglinearity like 119906

can also be very difficult to solve Both regular and singularperturbation theory are frequently used in physics and engi-neering Perturbation theory can fail when the system cantransition to a different phase of matter with a qualitativelydifferent behavior that cannot be modeled by the physicalformulas put into the perturbation theory for instance a solidcrystal melting into a liquid In some cases this failure man-ifests itself by divergent behavior of the perturbation seriesSuch divergent series can sometimes be resumed using tech-niques such as Borel resummation However perturbationtechniques can be also used to find approximate solutions tononlinear differential equations Examples of techniques usedto find approximate solutions to these types of problems arethe Lindstedt-Poincare technique the method of harmonicbalancing and the method of multiple time scales
33 Some Iteration Methods Many iterations methods havebeen proposed in the literature so far Some of them providepowerful tools to handle nonlinear and linear equationsranging from ordinary derivatives to fractional derivativesThese techniques are namely the homotopy perturbationmethods (HPM) [27] the homotopy decomposition method[28ndash30] the Adomian decomposition method [31 32] thevariational iteration method [33 34] and the Bernsteincollateral method [35] These mentioned methods have beenused to handle many problems across the sciences In somecases the above iterations produce the exact solutions andalso approximate solutions for strong nonlinear equations

1198801015840
(119904) = 119865120576(119904)
(28)
The above equation can be reformulated as follows
119895 (119904 120576 120572)119880 (119904) + 1198801015840
(119904) = 119866 (119904 120576 120572) (29)

422 Variational Iteration Method In its initial develop-ment the essential nature of the method was to construct thefollowing correction functional for general equation when 120572

where 120582(119905 120591) is the so-called Lagrange multiplier [33] and119908119899(119909 119905) is the 119899-approximate solution Therefore in their
work they apply the new development of the VIM proposedin [33] to find the Lagrange multiplier In this new VIM thefirst step of the basic character of the method is to apply theLaplace transform on both sides of (1) to obtain

(45)
The recursive formula of (1) can now be used to put forwardthe main recursive method connecting the Lagrange multi-plier as

Now applying the inverse Laplace transform on both sides of(46) we obtain the following iteration

Remark 10 The regular perturbation method required a lotof time and also the method is very difficult to handle
5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations

To solve the above equation we apply the Laplace transformon both sides to obtain
119904120572
119880 (119904) minus 119904120572minus1
119906 (0) + (119904119880 (119904) minus 119906 (0))
minus (119880 (119904) minus 1199041198801015840

119880 (119904) minus 119904119906 (0) minus 1199061015840
(0)) = 119865120576(119904)
(33)
Again after rearranging we put the above equation in thefollowing form
The above equation can be reformulated as follows
119881 (119904 120576 120572)119880 (119904) + 1198801015840
(119904) = 119871 (119904 120576 120572) (34)
The general solution of the above equation is given as
119880 (119904 120576) =

119881 (119909 120576 120572) 119889119909]
(35)
Now to find the exact solution of (32) we apply the inverseLaplace transform on both sides of (35) to obtain
sinh [120576119909]
= Lminus1
(119880 (119904 120576))

The above is the exact solution of (32)
42 Iterations and Regular Perturbation Methods Nonlin-ear Case In this section we compare the methodologyof some iteration methods namely homotopy decomposi-tion method variational iteration method and the regularperturbation method for solving the nonlinear singularperturbation fractional differential equation The basic ideaof HDM can be found in [28ndash30] and the variational iterationmethod can be found in [33 34]
Example 9 Let us consider the following nonlinear singularperturbation fractional ordinary differential equation

Γ (1 minus 120572))
119906 (0) = exp (120598)
(37)
421 Solution via the HDM To solve (37) via homotopydecomposition method we first apply on both sides of theinverse operator of 119862

Γ (1 minus 120572)))
(38)
Thenext step is to assume that the solution of (38) is in a seriesform as

422 Variational Iteration Method In its initial develop-ment the essential nature of the method was to construct thefollowing correction functional for general equation when 120572
is a natural number

(44)
where 120582(119905 120591) is the so-called Lagrange multiplier [33] and119908119899(119909 119905) is the 119899-approximate solution Therefore in their
work they apply the new development of the VIM proposedin [33] to find the Lagrange multiplier In this new VIM thefirst step of the basic character of the method is to apply theLaplace transform on both sides of (1) to obtain

(45)
The recursive formula of (1) can now be used to put forwardthe main recursive method connecting the Lagrange multi-plier as
119906119899+1

(46)
Now considering that isL[minus120576119860(119908119899(119909 119905))minus119861(119908

the restricted term the Lagrange multiplier can be obtainedas [35]
120582 (119904) = minus1

Now applying the inverse Laplace transform on both sides of(46) we obtain the following iteration

The next concern in this approach is to solve for 1199060(119905) and
substitute it in 1205761 to find 120576
1 and so on To solve for 1199060(119905)
we can employ themethodology of homotopy decompositionmethod as follows First we transform the equation tofractional integral equation as

119896=0
1199060119896

With the above in hand we can substitute it into equation 1205761
and use the same procedure to find 1199061(119905) in the form of
1199061(119905) =

infin

119896=0

Then the solution of (37) via the regular perturbationmethod will be
119906 (119905 120576) =
infin

119899=0
120576119899
119906119899(119905) (61)
Remark 10 The regular perturbation method required a lotof time and also the method is very difficult to handle
5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations

After integration we obtain the following solutions
1199060(119905) = exp (120576)

This is the exact solution of (37)
422 Variational Iteration Method In its initial develop-ment the essential nature of the method was to construct thefollowing correction functional for general equation when 120572
is a natural number

(44)
where 120582(119905 120591) is the so-called Lagrange multiplier [33] and119908119899(119909 119905) is the 119899-approximate solution Therefore in their
work they apply the new development of the VIM proposedin [33] to find the Lagrange multiplier In this new VIM thefirst step of the basic character of the method is to apply theLaplace transform on both sides of (1) to obtain

119880 (119904) minus

(45)
The recursive formula of (1) can now be used to put forwardthe main recursive method connecting the Lagrange multi-plier as
119906119899+1
(119904) = 119906119899(119904)

120576(119905)] ]
(46)
Now considering that isL[minus120576119860(119908119899(119909 119905))minus119861(119908

the restricted term the Lagrange multiplier can be obtainedas [35]
120582 (119904) = minus1
119904120572 (47)
Now applying the inverse Laplace transform on both sides of(46) we obtain the following iteration
119906119899+1
(119905) = 119906119899(119905)

(48)
Rearranging we arrive at the following iteration formula

The next concern in this approach is to solve for 1199060(119905) and
substitute it in 1205761 to find 120576
1 and so on To solve for 1199060(119905)
we can employ themethodology of homotopy decompositionmethod as follows First we transform the equation tofractional integral equation as

1199060119896

119896=0

Then the solution of (37) via the regular perturbationmethod will be

120576119899
119906119899(119905) (61)
Remark 10 The regular perturbation method required a lotof time and also the method is very difficult to handle
5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations

The next concern in this approach is to solve for 1199060(119905) and
substitute it in 1205761 to find 120576
1 and so on To solve for 1199060(119905)
we can employ themethodology of homotopy decompositionmethod as follows First we transform the equation tofractional integral equation as

Remark 10 The regular perturbation method required a lotof time and also the method is very difficult to handle
5 Conclusion
We make use of the Laplace transform and some analyticaltechniques to derive exact and approximate solutions to bothnonlinear and linear nonhomogeneous singular perturbationfractional ordinary differential equations We proposed a
relatively new fractional derivative using both the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and the basic definition of theintegral as being the antiderivative We presented somedifficulties encountered while using the regular perturbationmethod We demonstrate that the iteration method can besuccessfully used to solve singular perturbation fractionaldifferential equations
