The fractional calculus has appeared in many areas during the recent decades. Some scientists use approximation and numerical methods because there are almost no exact solutions of the fractional differential equations. He has pro- posed the VIM and HPM to solve the problems of linear and nonlinear [1] [2] [3] [4] . VIM is based on Lagrange multiplier. The another method is HPM which defines as a coupling of the traditional perturbation method and homotopy in topology. Many authors successfully apply these methods to find the solutions of functional equations which arise in scientific and engineering problems [1] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] . The Adomian decomposition method presents solution of functional equations but perhaps we find some difficulties that will arise during the computation of Adomian polynomials, the VIM and HPM overcome it is difficulties [7] . Fractional differential equations have diverse applications of physical phenomena [10] [11] [12] [13] , for instance, acoustics, electromag- netism, control theory, robotics, viscoelastic materials, diffusion, edge detection, turbulence, signal processing, anomalous diffusion and fractured media [14] . In literature, Momani and Noor [15] used the Adomian decomposition method for solving the fourth order fractional integro-differential Equation. Elbeleze et al. [16] [17] , Kadem and Kilicman [18] applied the HPM and VIM methods for integro-differential Equation of fractional order with initial-boundary con- ditions. Recently, Gaafar [19] studied the existence and nondecreasing solution for the initial value problem of a quadratic integro-differential equations. How- ever, there is little work on nonlinear fractional quadratic integro-differential equations.

Our goal for this article is extending the analysis of VIM and HPM to construct the approximate solutions of the following nonlinear initial value problems for first-order fractional quadratic integro-differential equations.

subject to the following initial condition:

is the fractional derivative in the caputo sense, is any nonlinear function, is real constant and g is given and can be approximated by taylor polynomials.

In this section, we intend to present some basic definitions and properties of fractional calculus theory which are further used in this article.

The basic concept of the VIM is constructing the correction functional for the fractional quadratic integro-differential equation sees Equation (1) with initial conditions,

is the Rieman-Liouville fractional integral operator of order, is a general Lagrange multiplier and refers to the restricted variation (i.e.) to identify the approximate Lagrange multiplier, construct the correctional function (6) which can be approximately expressed as:

taking the variation of Equation (7) to the independent variable we find

to make the previous equation stationary, we gain the following stationary conditions:

finally, the Lagrange multiplier is:

We achieve the following iteration formula by substitution of (10) into the functional (6)

and when, then Equation (15) becomes to be the original problem.

The solution of Equation (1) can be considered as a power series in p which is the basic assumption of HPM :

when in (16) the approximate solution of Equation (1) can be as following

First, substitute the relation (16) in the Equation (15). Second, equate the terms which have the same power’s of p which yield to the following series of equations:

and so on, the functions satisfy the following condition:

n this section, we apply VIM and HPM to first-order nonlinear (FQIDEs).

tion, thus by solving Equations (28, 29, 30), we obtain

The two terms approximation are formed as the following Equation

obtained readily by which is the exact solution.

In this paper, we have applied the VIM and HPM to find the solution of nonlinear initial value problem of fractional quadratic integro-differential equations for the first order. The methods do not require any linearization, perturbation or restrictive assumptions, we have observed that the VIM and HPM is a very powerful and effective tool for finding the solutions of the fractional quadratic integro-differential Equation. We use the Maple package (2015) in calculations.
