On solitons: Propagation of shallow water waves for the fifth-order KdV hierarchy integrable equation

Abstract

Abstract This article studies the fifth-order KdV (5KdV) hierarchy integrable equation, which arises naturally in the modeling of numerous wave phenomena such as the propagation of shallow water waves over a flat surface, gravity–capillary waves, and magneto-sound propagation in plasma. Two innovative integration norms, namely, the G ′ G 2 \left(\frac{{G}^{^{\prime} }}{{G}^{2}}\right) -expansion and ansatz approaches, are used to secure the exact soliton solutions of the 5KdV type equations in the shapes of hyperbolic, singular, singular periodic, shock, shock-singular, solitary wave, and rational solutions. The constraint conditions of the achieved solutions are also presented. Besides, by selecting appropriate criteria, the actual portrayal of certain obtained results is sorted out graphically in three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and contour graphs. The results suggest that the procedures used are concise, direct, and efficient, and that they can be applied to more complex nonlinear phenomena.
