The Caputo–Fabrizio time-fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation and its valid approximations

Abstract

Studying the dynamics of solitons in nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations has received substantial attention, in the last decades. The main aim of the current investigation is to consider the time-fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers (STOB) equation in the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) context and obtain its valid approximations through adopting a mixed approach composed of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and the Laplace transform. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the time-fractional STOB equation in the CF context are investigated by demonstrating the Lipschitz condition for as the kernel and giving some theorems. To illustrate the CF operator effect on the dynamics of the obtained solitons, several two- and three-dimensional plots are formally considered. It is shown that the mixed approach is capable of producing valid approximations to the time-fractional STOB equation in the CF context.
