The time-fractional coupled Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson (DSW) equation is pivotal in soliton theory, especially for water wave mechanics. Its precise description of soliton phenomena in dispersive water waves makes it widely applicable in fluid dynamics and related fields like tsunami prediction, mathematical physics, and plasma physics. In this study, we present novel soliton solutions for the DSW equation, which significantly enhance the accuracy of describing soliton phenomena. To achieve these results, we employed two distinct methods to derive the solutions: the Sardar subequation method, which works with one variable, and the $\left(\frac{{\mathsf{\Omega }}^{\prime }}{\mathsf{\Omega }}, \frac{1}{\mathsf{\Omega }}\right)$ method which utilizes two variables. These approaches supply significant improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and the ability to explore a broader spectrum of soliton solutions compared to traditional computational methods. By using these techniques, we construct a wide range of wave structures, including rational, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Rigorous validation with Mathematica software 13.1 ensures precision, while dynamic visual representations illustrate soliton solutions with diverse patterns such as dark solitons, multiple dark solitons, singular solitons, multiple singular solitons, kink solitons, bright solitons, and bell-shaped patterns. These findings highlight the effectiveness of these methods in discovering new soliton solutions and supplying deeper insights into the DSW model’s behavior. The novel soliton solutions obtained in this study significantly enhance our understanding of the DSW equation’s underlying dynamics and offer potential applications across various scientific fields.

The goal of this research is to utilize some ansatz forms of solutions to obtain novel forms of soliton solutions for the Benney–Luke equation. It is a mathematically valid approximation that describes the propagation of two-way water waves in the presence of surface tension. By using ansatz forms of solutions, with an appropriate set of parameters, the lump soliton, periodic cross-kink waves, multi-waves, breather waves, Ma-breather, Kuznetsov–Ma-breather, periodic waves and rogue waves solutions can be obtained. Breather waves are confined, periodic, nonlinear wave solutions that preserve their amplitude and shape despite alternating between compression and expansion. For some integrable nonlinear partial differential equations, a lump soliton is a confined, stable solitary wave solution. Rogue waves are unusually powerful and sharp ocean surface waves that deviate significantly from the surrounding wave pattern. They pose a threat to maritime safety. They typically show up in solitary, seemingly random circumstances. Periodic cross-kink waves are a particular type of wave pattern that has frequent bends or oscillations that cross at right angles. These waves provide insights into complicated wave dynamics and arise spontaneously in a variety of settings. In order to predict the wave dynamics, certain 2D, 3D and contour profiles are also analyzed. Since these recently discovered solutions contain certain arbitrary constants, they can be used to describe the variation in the qualitative characteristics of wave phenomena.

The main aim of this study is to obtain soliton solutions of the generalized reaction Duffing model, which is a generalization for a collection of prominent models describing various key phenomena in science and engineering. The equation models the motion of a damped oscillator with a more complex potential than in basic harmonic motion. Two effective techniques, the mapping method and Bernoulli sub-ODE technique, are used for the first time to obtain the soliton solutions of the proposed model. Initially, the traveling wave transform, which comes from Lie symmetry infinitesimals, is applied, and a nonlinear ordinary differential equation form is derived. These approaches effectively retrieve a hyperbolic, Jacobi function as well as trigonometric solutions while the appropriate conditions are applied to the parameters. Numerous innovative solutions, including the kink wave, anti-kink wave, bell shape, anti-bell shape, W-shape, bright, dark and singular shape soliton solutions, were produced via the mapping and Bernoulli sub-ODE approaches. The research includes comprehensive 2D and 3D graphical representations of the solutions, facilitating a better understanding of their physical attributes and proving the effectiveness of the proposed methods in solving complex nonlinear equations. It is important to note that the proposed methods are competent, credible and interesting analytical tools for solving nonlinear partial differential equations.

Fractional differential equations play a significant role in various scientific and engineering disciplines, offering a more sophisticated framework for modeling complex behaviors and phenomena that involve multiple independent variables and non-integer-order derivatives. In the current research, an effective cubic B-spline collocation method is used to obtain the numerical solution of the nonlinear inhomogeneous time-fractional Burgers–Huxley equation. It is implemented with the help of a $\theta$-weighted scheme to solve the proposed problem. The spatial derivative is interpolated using cubic B-spline functions, whereas the temporal derivative is discretized by the Atangana–Baleanu operator and finite difference scheme. The proposed approach is stable across each temporal direction as well as second-order convergent. The study investigates the convergence order, error norms, and graphical visualization of the solution for various values of the non-integer parameter. The efficacy of the technique is assessed by implementing it on three test examples and we find that it is more efficient than some existing methods in the literature. To our knowledge, no prior application of this approach has been made for the numerical solution of the given problem, making it a first in this regard.

This study explores the influence of viscous dissipation and variable density on heating efficiency and mass flux in magneto-hydrodynamic Oldroyd-B fluid flow over a polymer stretching surface with Soret and Dufour effects. The heat convective boundary conditions are used for the increment of thermal sequence. To incorporate nonlinear partial differential equations into a standard differential scheme, the appropriate transformation is used. The flow equations are reduced to nonlinear differential expressions and then numerically solved using the effective Keller box approach. The Newton–Raphson approach is applied to calculate the unknown quantities over the polymer sheet. The evaluation of the controlling flow factors, such as Prandtl quantity Pr, Deborah numbers β1, β2, Biot number γ, mixed convection parameter λ, magnetic parameter M, Eckert parameter Ec, on thermal distribution, mass distribution, and velocity profiles is calculated significantly. It is observed that a significant increase in the fluid temperature is evaluated at a minimal Prandtl number Pr = 1.5 but a maximum value is observed at a larger magnetic factor M = 3.5. Skin friction and the rate of mass flux are increased at a higher choice of heat convection parameter.
