In this research, the He-Laplace algorithm is extended to generalized third order, time-fractional, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV)
models. In this algorithm, the Laplace transform is hybrid with homotopy perturbation and extended to highly nonlinear
fractionalKdVs,includingpotentialandBurgersKdVmodels.Time-fractionalderivativesaretakeninCaputosensethroughout
the manuscript. Convergence and error estimation are confirmed theoretically as well as numerically for the current model.
Numerical convergence and error analysis is also performed by computing residual errors in the entire fractional domain.

Laplace algorithm is an efficient approach for time-fractional models and can be used for other families of equations.

known scientists including Joseph [7], Miller and Ross [8],
Caputo [9], and Riemann [10] have made a significant
contribution towards the foundation of fractional calculus.
Fractional calculus provides a more accurate and realistic
depiction of various phenomena in quantum physics [11],
oceanography [12], fluid mechanics [13], and engineering
[14]. In addition, fractional calculus is used to simulate the
damping behavior of different materials and substrates, fi-
nancial models, and many other scenarios.
Solitary wave equations like (1+1)-dimensional
Mikhailov–Novikov–Wang equation (15), RLW equation
(16), complex Ginzburg–Landau model [17], and Korteweg

from researchers. Among them, the most relevant family is
KdV equations which also provide a foundation for other
models. During 1895, Korteweg and de Vries first modeled
the classical KdV equation [18]. ese equations are highly
nonlinear and describe wave structures in crystal lattice,
plasma, water, and density stratified ocean waves, etc., that
are explored by many researchers. Heydari et al. observed
