### Generalized Differential Transform Method to Space-Time Fractional Telegraph Equation

#### Abstract

We use generalized differential transform method (GDTM) to derive the solution of space-time fractional telegraph equation in closed form. The space and time fractional derivatives are considered in Caputo sense and the solution is obtained in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions.
