Abstract

The present study introduces a novel and simple analytical method for the solution of fractional order Riccati differential equation. In this approach, the solution considered as a Taylor series expansion converges rapidly to the nonlinear problem. New homotopy perturbation method (NHPM) depends only on two components of the homotopy series. The method is illustrated by applications and the results obtained are compared with those of the exact solution. Moreover, comparing the methodology with some known techniques shows that the present approach is relatively easy and efficient.
