Existence and uniqueness solution analysis of time-fractional unstable nonlinear Schrödinger equation
Abstract
The time-fractional unstable nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations capture the time evolution of disturbances within media, tailored for describing phenomena in unstable media to help model and understand the intricate dynamics of systems prone to instability, the behavior of disturbances in complex and unstable environments and many more. In this study, we investigate the exact and analytical solutions of time-fractional unstable nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations with the time-fractional β-time derivative, a powerful technique known as the sine-Gordon expansion (SGE) method is used. Non-locality behaviors that cannot be modeled using classical calculus are included in this equation. It discusses the relationships between waves of different frequencies or the same frequency but with distinct polarizations having a diverse set of key applications in nonlinear optics. We begin by using a fixed-point argument to prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the time-fractional problem under consideration. The partial differential equation of fractional order is transformed into an ordinary differential equation using the complex transformation. Numerous exact solutions are achieved with all the arbitrary parameters. The specific values of the obtained solutions' associated parameters are analyzed graphically with 3D plots as multiple soliton types of different wave solutions with the help of symbolic software. Understanding that the features of the solutions are far from intuitive because it is based on the parameter selection from the figures is difficult. The main objective of this paper is to investigate some fresh and further general solitary wave solutions to the suggested equation that properly explain the above-stated phenomena.
