1. Introduction
One of the most often utilized fields of mathematics is fuzzy fractional calculus theory, which has both theoretical and practical applications embracing a wide range of mathematical structures. Traditional derivatives mostly rely on Caputo–Liouville or Riemann–Liouville concerns in this market segment. The nonlocality and singularity of the kernel function, which is visible in the integral operator’s side-by-side with the normalizing function showing alongside the integral ticks, are the most common defects of these two qualifiers. A more accurate and precise characterization must unavoidably follow from the reality of core replicating dynamic fractional systems. The Atangana–Baleanu Caputo is a novel fractional fuzzy derivative construct introduced in this orientation, which is utilized to synthesize and explicate fresh fuzzy real-world mathematical concepts.
The fuzzy set theory is useful for analyzing ambiguous situations. Any element of a fractional equation, including the initial value and boundary conditions, may be impacted by these uncertainties. The recognition of fractional models in practical contexts leads to the usage of interval or fuzzy formulations as an alternative. Numerous fields, including topology, fixed-point theory, integral inequalities, fractional calculus, bifurcation, image processing, consumer electronics, control theory, artificial intelligence, and operations research, have made extensive use of the fuzzy set theory. Over the past few decades, the field of fractional calculus, which encompasses fractional-order integrals and derivatives, has attracted a great lot of attention from academics and scientists. Because it yields precise and accurate conclusions, fractional calculus has a wide range of applications in contemporary physical and biological processes. The integral (differential) operators have more latitude in fractional differential calculus. As a result, academics are quite interested in this subject. Over the past few decades, a large number of research papers, monographs, and books on a variety of themes, including existence theory and analytical conclusions, have been published.
The study of fuzzy integral equations is rapidly spreading and expanding, especially in light of its recently recognized relationship to fuzzy control. Understanding integral equations is important since they serve as the foundation for the bulk of mathematical models applied to problems in a variety of fields, including chemistry, engineering, biology, and physics. Mathematicians regularly use differential, fractional order differential, and integral equations to resolve problems in the fields of chemistry, engineering, biology, physics, and other sciences. Undoubtedly, any model has some parameters that might be transmitted with some ambiguity. These ambiguous research problems, which result in the presentation of fuzzy conceptions, are necessary to solve these models. Richening fuzzy equation answers have received a lot of attention in the literature.
Fuzzy Sumudu transform technology was offered by Khan et al. [

7. Conclusions
The fuzzy Volterra integral equations were successfully handled in this article using series-type analytical solutions. The Elzaki ADM general approach is utilized for the necessary reasons, and two sequences of upper and lower limit solutions are fetched. Then, we put our proposed technique to the test using three separate cases. It is also emphasized that a simpler method may be used to obtain the same result. The findings show that the Elzaki ADM is an effective tool for solving linear and nonlinear fuzzy integral equation problems. Using this approach, future studies will examine the solutions of the fuzzy Volterra integral equations with various types of crisp and fuzzy kernels. The current regime confirms that semi-analytical regimes are extremely convenient for treating fuzzy differential equations because no discretization error is introduced throughout the process.
It is concluded that the basic idea can easily be extended to similar problems in physical science and engineering. However, numerous fuzzy differential equations may be effectively solved semi-analytically by employing the offered approach. There are still quite a few higher-order fuzzy differential equations that are challenging to handle in the recommended regime, notably the higher-order fuzzy KdV equation and many others. For some discontinuous fuzzy differential equations, the Elzaki ADM cannot be utilized. The Elzaki ADM can only be used for fuzzy differential equations with the initial and boundary conditions since it is an iterative method.
