Abstract In this work, Lie symmetry analysis for the time fractional simplified modified Kawahara (SMK) equation with Riemann-Liouville (RL) derivative, is analyzed. We transform the time fractional SMK equation to nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) of fractional order using its Lie point symmetries with a new dependent variable. In the reduced equation, the derivative is in the Erdelyi-Kober (EK) sense. We solve the reduced fractional ODE using a power series technique. Using Ibragimov’s nonlocal conservation method to time fractional partial differential equations, we compute conservation laws (Cls) for the time fractional SMK equation. Some figures of the obtained explicit solution are presented.
