Abstract
Typically, the parameters of a practical problem are considered to be deterministic. Nevertheless, there may be possibility that these parameters are incomplete owing to observational or experimental errors. Fuzzy sets are capable of handling such problems. In addition, the majority of studies on fuzzy fractional heat equations have employed two spatial variables and fuzzy sets with deterministic membership. In some instances, however, there may be more than two spatial variables, and the membership grade associated with an uncertain parameter may also contain imprecise information. Consequently, dealing with such a situation may be fascinating. In this regard, the main objective of this research is to develop alternative methods for solving the \(n+1\)-dimensional fractional order heat equation with an external source term in an uncertain environment. The problem is addressed by using the Elzaki transformed homotopy perturbation method and the fractional reduced differential transformation method in the fuzzy environment. Caputo fuzzy fractional derivatives are considered here. In this study, triangular fuzzy numbers and Gaussian fuzzy numbers are utilised to handle type-1 fuzzy uncertainty, whereas triangularly perfect quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers and newly introduced Gaussian-triangular type-2 fuzzy numbers are used to handle type-2 fuzzy uncertainty. Numerical examples with graphical representations are provided to demonstrate the applicability of the approaches. Convergence plots are also provided.
