Abstract

The fractional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations are increasingly used in modeling various kinds of weakly nonlinear ion acoustic waves in a plasma comprising cold ions and hot isothermal electrons in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. This has led to a significant interest in the study of these equations. In this work, solitary pattern solutions of fractional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations are investigated by means of the homotopy perturbation method with consideration of Jumarie’s derivatives. The effects of fractional derivatives for the systems under consideration are discussed. Numerical results and a comparison with exact solutions are presented.
