The MEW equation captures the significant balance between dispersion and nonlinearity, making it highly relevant for simulating a variety of physical phenomena in optical fibres, plasma physics and fluid dynamics. To obtain exact analytical solutions, we utilise two effective and reliable techniques: the extended modified tanh-function method (eMETFM) and the extended Sardar sub-equation method (eSSEM). By using these methods, we successfully extract a wide range of explicit soliton solutions, including dark, bright, periodic, singular, W-shaped, M-shaped, and composite wave patterns. These solutions not only validate the suitability of the selected techniques but also reveal intricate solitary wave behaviours pertinent to nonlinear wave propagation. Beyond investigating soliton solutions, we also conduct a qualitative analysis of the perturbed system by examining its bifurcation structure. This analysis demonstrates crucial insights into the transition dynamics of the model under changing system parameters. To exhibit the onset and nature of chaotic behaviour, we establish a suite of advanced chaos detection tools, including power spectrum analysis, return map analysis, multistability analysis, bifurcation diagrams, strange attractor plots and Lyapunov exponent evaluation. These tools enable the detailed identification of periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic regimes within the system, thereby enhancing our understanding of its nonlinear dynamics.
