description In this article, modified techniques, namely the variational iteration transform and Shehu decomposition method, are implemented to achieve an approximate analytical solution for the time-fractional Fornberg–Whitham equation. A comparison is made between the results of the variational iteration transform method and the Shehu decomposition method. The solution procedure reveals that the variational iteration transform method and Shehu decomposition method is effective, reliable and straightforward. The variational iteration transform methods solve non-linear problems without using Adomian’s polynomials and He’s polynomials, which is a clear advantage over the decomposition technique. The solutions achieved are compared with the corresponding exact result to show the efficiency and accuracy of the existing methods in solving a wide variety of linear and non-linear problems arising in various science areas.
