PurposeThe purpose of this study is to form a linear structure of components of the modified Korteweg–De Vries (mKdV) hierarchy. The new model includes 3rd order standard mKdV equation, 5th order and 7th order mKdV equations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors investigate Painlevé integrability of the constructed linear structure.FindingsThe Painlevé analysis demonstrates that established sum of integrable models retains the integrability of each component.Research limitations/implicationsThe research also presents a set of rational schemes of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions to derive breather solutions.Practical implicationsThe authors also furnish a variety of solitonic solutions and complex solutions as well.Social implicationsThe work formally furnishes algorithms for extending integrable equations that consist of components of a hierarchy.Originality/valueThe paper presents an original work for developing Painlevé integrable model via using components of a hierarchy.
