1 Introduction
Fractional calculus provides an important characteristic to describe the complicated physical phenomena with memory effects. For this reason, the fractional calculus is becoming increasingly used as a modeling tool in physics, engineering and control processing in various fields of sciences such as fluid dynamics, plasma physics, mathematical biology and chemical kinetics, diffusion, etc [1, 2, 3, 4]. Due to their properties, fractional derivatives and integrals make this kind of calculus a good candidate to describe such phenomena. Some fundamental definitions of fractional derivatives were given by Riemann-Liouville and Liouville-Caputo [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Recently, Caputo and Fabrizio defined a new fractional derivative without singular kernel [10] named Caputo-Fabrizio derivative with specific properties, the derivative of a constant is zero and the initial conditions used in the fractional differential equations having a physical interpretation. Later, Atangana and Baleanu proposed another fractional derivative with non-local and non-singular kernel named Atangana-Baleanu derivative [11]. Besides, seeking exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations is not an easy task, and it's remain a relevant problem. Therefore, many powerful methods have been proposed for solving analytically the fractional partial differential equations. Such methods include; Homotopy Perturbation Method [12], Homotopy Perturbation coupled with Sumudu Transform [13], Adomian Mecomposition Method [14], Variational Iteration Method [15], Fractional Iteration Method [16], etc.
On the author hand, recent investigations show that the invariant subspace method, developed by V.A. Galaktionov and S.R. Svirshchevski [17], is an effective tool to construct exact solutions of some fractional partial differential equations with Caputo fractional derivative. R.Sahadevan and P.Prakash [18] used invariant subspace method to derive exact solutions of certain time fractional nonlinear partial differential equations, Hashemi [19] also adopted the same method to solve partial differential equations with conformable derivatives, Choudhary et al. [20] used this technique to explore solutions of some fractional differential equations, etc.
In the present paper, we present a modified version of the invariant subspace method which does not require any use of the Laplace transformation. We then make use of this novel technique to solve some fractional partial differential equations using fractional operators of Caputo-Fabrizio and also Atangana-Baleanu type. The exact solutions of these equations are obtained by solving the reduced systems constructed from the studied equations.
The laout of the paper is organized as follows: In section 2, we present some basic definitions of fractional derivatives and integrals. Section 3 describes the modified invariant subspace method. Construction of exact solutions to some partial differential equations with Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangan-Baleanu derivatives is presented in section 4. Finally, concluding remarks are given in section 5.
2 Fractional Calculus tools
In this section, we present some important defnitions and mathematical concepts on fractional derivatives with nonsingular kernels and related tools.
This function arises naturally in the solution of fractional order integral equations or fractional order differential equations. It interpolate between a purely exponential law and power-law like behavior of phenomena governed by ordinary kinetic equations and their fractional counterparts.
On the other hand, Caputo and Fabrizio [10] developed a new fractional derivative as follows
It's clear that the Caputo-Fabrizio derivative has no singular kernel, since the kernel is based on exponential function.
Recently, Atangana and Baleanu proposed a new fractional derivative which has non-local and non-singular kernel based on the generalized Mittag-Leffler function. More recently, they claimed that there is two general definitions of their derivative in the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo sense. Moreover, this fractional derivative has a fractional integral as an anti-derivative of their operators.
The Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative in Caputo sense (ABC) is given by
The AB fractional integral operator of order α is given by [11]
3 Description of the Modified Method
Recently, Gazizov and Kasatkin [22] showed that the invariant subspace method can be applied also to equations with time fractional derivative.
The modified invariant subspace method is based on the following basic definitions and results [22].
Let f1(x),..., fn(x) be an n linearly independent functions and Wn is the n-dimensional linear space namely Wn = 〈f1(x),..., fn(x)〉. Wn is said to be invariant under the given operator F if F[u] ∈ Wn whenever u ∈ Wn.
The important question concerning the modified invariant subspace method was how to obtain the corresponding invariant subspace of a given differential operator. The answer of this question is given by the following proposition, for more details we refer the reader to [22].

5 Conclusion
The modifed invariant subspace method was used to seek exact solutions to a class of nonlinear equations with fractional derivatives having nonsingular kernels. Several examples illustrated the effectiveness of the invariant subspace theory for exploring solution of various structures. It is also worth mentionning that the present method does not need any use of laplace transform. Furthermore, some graphical reprensentations are given to show the profiles of the obtained solutions. We stress here that those solutions are very useful to test the efficiency of newly suggested numerical methods for solving partial differential equations with Caputo-Fabrizio or Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivatives.
