Convergence analysis and error analysis were also carried out based on the Banach fixed point theory. We also provided some examples to support our results. The results obtained revealed that the presented approach is very fantastic, effective, reliable, and is an easy method to handle specific problems in various fields of applied sciences and engineering. The Mathematica software carried out all the computations and graphics in this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13020243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,1]],"date-time":"2021-02-01T11:40:48Z","timestamp":1612179648000},"page":"243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["On Convergence Analysis and Analytical Solutions of the Conformable Fractional Fitzhugh\u2013Nagumo Model Using the Conformable Sumudu Decomposition Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2115-8806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suliman","family":"Alfaqeih","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Ege University, Izmir 35040, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emine","family":"M\u0131s\u0131rl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Ege University, Izmir 35040, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3413","DOI":"10.1155\/S0161171203301486","article-title":"Recent applications of fractional calculus to science and engineering","volume":"54","author":"Debnath","year":"2003","journal-title":"Int.
