Abundant traveling wave solutions to an intrinsic fractional discrete nonlinear electrical transmission line
Abstract
The main idea of this paper is to search for all traveling wave solutions to an intrinsic fractional discrete nonlinear electrical transmission line, which plays a essential role in obtaining the new insights in nonlinear voltage dynamics. We first give a brief introduction how to transform the discrete system into a continuous one, which is described by a fractional-order partial differential equation. After that, this equation is handled by conformable fractional transformation and the complete discrimination system for polynomial method (CDSPM). By applying the advanced method, the whole of the exact traveling wave solutions emerged in existing articles are obtained, especially we obtain the solitary wave solutions and elliptic functions solutions which are hardly founded by other methods. Notably, the elliptic functions solutions in rational form are discovered for the first time. Finally, the electrical characteristics and the fractional nature are revealed via graphical represents. By the depicted graphs, we intuitively observe the existence of the phenomena for periodic wave and solitary wave, and the time-fractional derivative is proved do has important influence on the behaviors of the solutions. Considering the significance of the nonlinear electrical transmission line, the acquired results would have wide application in electrical engineering and nonlinear voltage dynamics, liking analyzing and predicting the complex voltage wave propagation phenomenon in realistic electrical transmission system.
