Abstract
In this article, the local fractional decomposition method (LFDM) is applied to obtain approximate the analytical solution of nonlinear fractional convection-diffusion. Numerical solutions obtained by local fractional decomposition method are compared with the exact solutions, revealing that the obtained solutions are of high accuracy. A new application of local fractional decomposition method (LFDM) was extended to reproduce the analytical solutions to this equation in the form of a series. It is shown that the solutions obtained by the LFDM are reliable, simple and that LFDM is an effective method for strongly nonlinear partial equations.
