Abstract
The space time fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olver (STO) equation and the time fractional Cahn–Allen (CA) equation are well-designated to fission and fusion phenomena including those for solitons, electromagnetic interactions, quantum relativistic atom theory, phase isolation in several components bass system, the relativistic energy-momentum relation. In this article, we have exerted the exact solution to STO and CA equation in the light of fractional derivative (e.g. modified Riemann–Liouville derivative). By using wave transformation the ODE of integer order is generated by the fractional partial differential equation (FPDE). We investigated the travelling wave solution to these equations through the recently established double-expansion method. The results obtained in view of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions containing parameters. We have demonstrated that this method is convenient, effective and powerful tools for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations (NLFDEs).
1. Introduction
Fractional calculus and hence fractional-order nonlinear partial differential equations have drawn the attention of many researchers for their importance to depict the inner mechanisms of the nature of real world. In the last two decades, much attention to nonlinear fractional differential equations (NLFDEs) has been inspired due to their frequent applications in the area of physics and nonlinear science. NLFDEs are well designated to many significant physical phenomena such as viscoelasticity, electromagnetism, cosmology, acoustics, plasma physics, optical fibres, solid-state physics, electrochemistry, etc. The terms diffusion, diffraction and convection are approximately correlated to the stated phenomena and are examined properly by NLFDEs. As a consequence, there has been noteworthy advancement in the study of the exact solution to NLFDEs. In the past decades, the exact solutions to NLFDEs have been studied by numerous scientists (He, Citation2014; Liu, Liu, Li, & He, Citation2017; Miller & Ross, Citation1993; Podlubny, Citation1999) who were devoted to nonlinear science and physical phenomena. They established several methods to obtain the exact solution to NLFDEs, such as the differential transformation method (Erturk, Momani, & Odibat, Citation2008; Wang & Wang, Citation2018), Adomian’s decomposition method (El-Sayed, Behiry, & Raslan, Citation2010), the fractional sub-equation method (Guo, Mei, Li, & Sun, Citation2012; Lu, Citation2012; Zhang & Zhang, Citation2011), the homotopy perturbation method (Gepreel, Citation2011; Gómez-Aguilar, Martinez, & Torres-Jimenez, Citation2017), the homotopy analysis method (Arafa, Rida, & Mohamed, Citation2011), the variational iteration method (Guo & Mei, 2011; Ji, Zhang, & Dong, Citation2012; Wang, Zhang, & Liu, 2018; Wu, Citation2011), the finite difference method (Seadawy, Citation2017b), the finite element method (Seadawy, Citation2017a), the exp-function method (Akbar & Ali, Citation2012; Bekir, Guner, & Cevikel, Citation2013), the improve exp(–)-expansion method (Alhakim & Moussa, Citation2017), the
-expansion method and its various modifications (Akbar, Ali, & Zayed, Citation2012a, Citation2012b; Ayhan & Bekir, Citation2012; Batool & Ghazala, Citation2018; Gepreel & Omran, Citation2012; Islam & Akbar, Citation2018; Roy, Akbar, & Wazwaz, Citation2018; Wang, Li, & Zhang, Citation2008; Zhang, 2012), the first integral method (Bekir, Guner, & Unsal, Citation2015; Martinez, Gómez-Aguilar, & Atangana, Citation2018), the modified simple equation method (Akbar, Ali, & Wazwaz, Citation2018), the reproducing kernel method (Akgul, Baleanu, & Inc, Citation2016), the double
-expansion method (Li, Li, & Wang, Citation2010; Uddin, Akbar, Khan, & Haque, Citation2017; Zayed & Abdelaziz, Citation2012), etc.
Song, Wang, and Zhang (Citation2009b) studied the analytic solutions to the Sharma–Tasso–Olver (STO) equation using various methods and made comparison with others. Rawashdeh (Citation2015) examined the above-mentioned equation through the differential transformation method. Recently, Abdel-Salam and Hassan (Citation2016) have studied solitary wave solutions to the suggested equation. On the other hand, Bekir, Aksoy, and Cevikel (Citation2016) studied to find the travelling wave solutions to the Cahn–Allen (CA) equation through the sub-equation method. In addition, Esen, Yagmurlu, and Tasbozan (Citation2013) developed the analytical solution to the mentioned equations with the homotopy analysis method. In recent years, Rawashdeh (Citation2017) investigated the approximate solution to the suggested equations using the fractional transformation method. It is noteworthy to observe that the time fractional STO and CA equations are not examined through the recently established double -expansion method. Therefore, the aim of the article is to obtain some new and further general solutions to the suggested equations through the proposed method. The mentioned method is convenient, efficient and easy to compute for investigation of the exact solutions to NLFDEs.
The general time fractional STO equation is written as:
(1.1)
(1.1)
where

(1.2)
This equation is reaction diffusion equation engineering and mathematical physics which is proficient to examine the process of phase isolation in several components bass system involving order-disorder exchange.
