In this study, a novel method called the q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM) is proposed for solving fractional-order Kolmogorov and Rosenau–Hyman models numerically. The proposed method is shown to have fast convergence and is demonstrated using test examples. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed through graphical representation of the obtained results, which also highlights the ability of the method to modify the solution’s convergence zone. The q-HATM is an efficient scheme for solving nonlinear physical models with a series solution in a considerable admissible domain. The results indicate that the proposed approach is simple, effective, and applicable to a wide range of physical models.
