Abstract
In the proposed manuscript, a model of the fractional-order partial Cauchy reaction-diffusion equation (CRDE) is solved by a tested and a recent technique, Asymptotic Homotopy Perturbation Method. This technique is a powerful tool for the numerical treatment of various mathematical models of order fractional of linear and non-linear order. CRDE of order-fractional is one of these mathematical models is employed across various fields such as physics, ecology, biology and engineering to model spatial effects and dynamic processes involving both diffusion and chemical reactions. The Caputo order-fractional derivative can also be used for this purpose. Further solution of the concerned model can be provided in the form of a series. The computational work is done by MATLAB software.
