We provide a complex transform that maps the complex fractional differential equation into a sys- tem of fractional differential equations. The homogeneous and nonhomogeneous cases for equiv- alence equations are discussed and also nonequivalence equations are studied. Moreover, the existence and uniqueness of solutions are established and applications are illustrated. 1. Introduction Transform is a significant method to solve mathematical problems. Various practical trans- forms for solving various problems were materialized in open literature, such as the Laplace transform 1, the Fourier transform 2, the traveling wave transform 3, the Backlund ¨ transformation 4, the integral transform 5, the fractional integral transforms 6, the fractional complex transform 7, 8, and Mellin transform 9. Fractional models have been studied by many researchers to sufficiently describe the operation of variety of computational, physical, and biological processes
