This paper presents the formulation of the time-fractional Camassa–Holm equation using the Euler–Lagrange variational technique in the Riemann–Liouville derivative sense and derives an approximate solitary wave solution. Our results witness that He's variational iteration method was a very efficient and powerful technique in finding the solution of the proposed equation.
