Dynamics of geometric shape solutions for space-time fractional modified equal width equation with beta derivative

Abstract

The modified equal width equation describes the propagation of shallow water waves in which nonlinear and dispersive effects are significant, including phenomena such as wave breaking, soliton interactions, ion-acoustic waves, energy transfer in plasma, and nonlinear stress waves. The aim of this article is to establish some novel and generic solutions to the space-time fractional modified equal width (MEW) equation using the two variable (θ′/θ,  1/θ)-expansion technique, a modification of the (θ′/θ)-expansion method. A wide range of geometric shapes and inclusive soliton solutions have been constructed, comprising rational, trigonometric, and hyperbolic solutions, along with their integration to the equation under consideration. The two- and three-dimensional graphs of the solitons, including periodic, V-shaped, bell-shaped, singular periodic, flat kink-shaped, plane-shaped, peakon, and parabolic, illustrate the physical aspects of the solitary wave solution and the effect of the fractional parameter. The results demonstrate the efficiency, appropriateness, and reliability of the adopted technique for investigating fractional-order nonlinear evolution equations in science, technology, and engineering.
