In this paper, we adopt the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to obtain solutions of linear and nonlinear fractional diffusion and wave equation. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Some illustrative examples are presented.

diffusion equations Approximate analytical solution Exact solutions a b s t r a c t
In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method and a modified homotopy perturbation method are used for analytical treatment of the wave equation and some nonlinear diffusion equations, respectively. Some examples are given to illustrate that a suitable choice of an initial solution can lead to the exact solution, this revealing the reliability and effectiveness of the method.

In this paper we have used the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to obtain solutions of multi-term linear and nonlinear diffusion-wave equations of fractional order. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Some illustrative examples have been presented.
