The Discovery of Truncated M-Fractional Exact Solitons and a Qualitative Analysis of the Generalized Bretherton Model

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the novel exact solitons for the truncated M-fractional (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear generalized Bretherton model with arbitrary constants. This model is used to explain the resonant nonlinear interaction between the waves in different phenomena, including fluid dynamics, plasma physics, ocean waves, and many others. A series of exact solitons, including bright, dark, periodic, singular, singular–bright, singular–dark, and other solitons are obtained by applying the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion (EShGEE) and the modified (G′/G2)-expansion techniques. A novel definition of fractional derivative provides solutions that are distinct from previous solutions. Mathematica software was used to obtain and verify the solutions. The solutions are shown through 2D, 3D, and density plots. A stability process was conducted to verify that the solutions are exact and accurate. Modulation instability was used to determine the steady-state results for the corresponding equation.
