Novel soliton structures of truncated M-fractional (4+1)-dim Fokas wave model

Abstract In this research article, a nonlinear time–space fractional order (4+1)-dim Fokas wave equation that is crucial for examining the corporal marvels of waves on and inside the surface of water is examined. For this purpose, a well-known analytical method is utilized, namely, the Sardar sub-equation (SSE) method along with a truncated M-fractional derivative. As a result, many new families of solitary wave solutions, such as kink-type solitons, singular and periodic solitons, dark and bright solitons, are established. By using the SSE method, the outcomes are portrayed in 3-dim, 2-dim, and contour plots for distinct parametric values. The attained hyperbolic and trigonometric function-type results demonstrate the capability of recognizing the exact solutions of the other nonlinear evolution equations through the executed technique.
