This work proposes a semi-analytical new hybrid approach, so-called differential 𝕁-transform method (D𝕁TM), to evaluate the behavior of n-space dimensional fractional-nonlinear hyperbolic-like wave equations, where time-fractional derivative is considered in Caputo format. The D𝕁TM is the hybrid method in which projected differential transform is implemented after imposing the recently introduced integral transform, i.e., so-called 𝕁 transform [W. Zhao and S. Maitama, J. Appl. Anal. Comput. 10, 1223 (2020)]. The efficiency and applicability of the proposed D𝕁TM had been tested by considering three different test examples of the Caputo time-fractional nonlinear hyperbolic-like wave equations in terms of absolute error norms, and the different order D𝕁TM solutions are compared with exact solution behaviors and the existing results, for the large time level τ∈[0,10]. In addition, the convergence analysis of D𝕁TM is studied theoretically and verified it numerically as well as graphically, which confirms that the numerical experiments via D𝕁TM for distinct fractional orders support the theoretical findings excellently, and the presented D𝕁TM results converge to their exact solution behavior, very fast. The evaluated series approximations are expressed in the compact form of Mittag-Leffler functions.
