The fractional-order nonlinear Gardner and Cahn–Hilliard equations are often used to model ultra-short burst beams of light, complex fields of optics, photonic transmission systems, ions, and other fields of mathematical physics and engineering. This study has two main objectives. First, the main objective of this investigation is to solve the fractional-order nonlinear Gardner and Cahn–Hilliard equations by using the modified auxiliary equation method, which is not found in the literature. Second, the exact and approximate solutions of these equations are obtained by utilizing the fractional conformable residual power series algorithm and the modified auxiliary equation method. For the analytical and numerical solutions to two equations, we employ two separate techniques and establish consistency between the precise answers that are derived and the compatible numerical solution. To the best of our knowledge, this method of solving equations has never been investigated in this manner. The 2D and 3D contours have been defined using appropriate parametric values to support the physical compatibility of the results. The assessed findings suggested that the approach used in this study to recover inclusive and standard solutions is approachable, efficient, and faster in computing and can be considered a useful tool in resolving more complex phenomena that arise in the field of engineering, mathematical physics, and optical fiber.

1 Introduction

In complicated areas of fields that can be modeled by various types of partial differential equations, many linear and nonlinear solutions appear. The nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) are crucial for studying a variety of issues. Understanding virtually nonlinear partial differential equations requires an effort to determine precise solutions to nonlinear equations [13]. Fractional calculus, which is the study of integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order, has gained significant recognition over the past 30 years or so largely because of its well-established applications in numerous and varied disciplines of technical knowledge [4].

Fractional differential equations have received considerable attention over the past 20 years as a result of their capacity to accurately reproduce a broad range of events in a variety of scientific and technical fields. In science and engineering, fractional differential equations can be used to represent a variety of physical applications [5]. Fractional differential equations have been used to tackle numerous engineering and scientific problems [6]. The differential equation in fractional nonlinear partial differential equations (FNLPDEs) has nonlinear variables which create complex behaviors and phenomena not seen in linear equations. Complex patterns, chaotic dynamics, solitons, and shocks can all occur as a result of nonlinearity. The interaction between nonlinearity and fractional derivatives makes it particularly difficult to comprehend and analyze the dynamics of FNLPDEs.

The usage of fractional differential equations (FDEs) is widespread throughout many scientific disciplines due to their various applications in physics and engineering. Fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) have grown in significance and reputation among FDEs in recent years as a result of their demonstrated utility in a wide range of extremely diverse scientific and engineering disciplines [7]. Many fractional types of equations are solved using novel transform [8] and zz transform with the Mittag-Leffler kernel [9]. Since they cannot be solved precisely, the majority of nonlinear FDEs require approximate and numerical solutions such as the Adomian decomposition method [10], spectral collocation method [11], Euler method and homotopy analysis method [12], Laplace residual power series [13], variational iteration transform method [14], and homotopy analysis method [15]. FNLPDEs find applications in various cutting-edge areas of research. For example, in materials science, FNLPDEs are used to model diffusion and transport in heterogeneous media. In finance, they are employed to describe complex price dynamics and risk management. In biology, FNLPDEs are utilized to study the spread of diseases and population dynamics. The unique combination of nonlinearity and fractional derivatives in FNLPDEs provides a versatile framework for modeling these emerging phenomena.

One of the most recent methods developed in this field is the auxiliary equation method proposed by Khater [16]. Although this approach was employed in numerous research studies [17], a modified auxiliary equation approach (also known as the modified Khater method) was developed to get precise traveling wave solutions. The soliton and other solitary wave solutions of the equations are obtained in this research paper using the modified auxiliary equation approach. It enhances the auxiliary equation method. This article describes a method that modifies the auxiliary differential equation methodology for solving nonlinear partial differential equations [18]. Over the past 30 years, fresh and state-of-the-art methods for investigating nonlinear differential systems with fractional-order equations have been created, along with new computer methods and symbolic programming. Analytical methodologies, new mathematical theories, and computational systems that enable us to study nonlinear complicated phenomena have triggered this revolution in understanding. Furthermore, the sub-equation method [19], modified Kudryashov method [20], and F-expansion method [2123] are just a few of the methods that have been used.

A semi-approximate approach called numerical simulations was developed specifically for addressing challenging nonlinear temporal FPDEs that can appear in a variety of scientific fields. This approach, which was devised and developed by Abu Arqub for the study of fuzzy differential equations, is used for generalizing the expansion of the Taylor series of arbitrary order and minimizing the residual error identified to detect the unknown compounds. This method has the ability to immediately solve nonlinear terms without any constraints, transformations, linearizations, or changes to the models. As a result, it has attracted considerable attention and has become an energizing focus of the research community [24, 25].

The Gardner equation [26] is developed to illustrate the description of solitary inner waves in shallow water and combines the KdV and modified KdV equations. The Gardner equation is frequently used in various branches of physics, such as plasma theories, quantum area theories, fluid mechanics, and physics [27]. Numerous wave phenomena in the plasma and solid phases are also covered [28]. We recognize the conformable fractional-order nonlinear Gardner (FG) equation in the following form:

tαwx,t+6wλ2w2wx3wx3=0,(1)

with an initial condition

wx,0=12+12tanhx2,

and boundary condition

w0,t=12+12tanht2,
w1,t=12+12tanh1t2.

A binary alloy’s phase separation under a critical temperature is illustrated by the Cahn–Hilliard equation, which was first proposed by Cahn and Hilliard in 1958 [29]. The spinodal decomposition, phase separation, and phase ordering dynamics are three fascinating physical phenomena that depend critically on this equation [30]. In this framework, the fractional Cahn–Hilliard (FCH) equation [31] is expressed as follows:

tαwx,twx6wwx23w212wx2+4wx4=0,(2)

with an initial condition

wx,0=tanh2x2,

and boundary condition

w0,t=tanh2t2,
w1,t=tanh21+t2.

The methodology of this paper includes the following: Section 2 discusses the modified auxiliary equation method (MAEM) and also solves the equations. Section 3 discusses the semi-analytical fractional conformable residual power series algorithm and contains an explanation of the system to a solution. Section 4 examines the stability property of the equations. Section 5 contains the discussion and results of the system to illustrate the approximate delicacy. Section 6 presents the conclusion.

Preliminaries

Definition 1. The α-order fractional conformable derivative of a function w(x, t) of order αϵ(0, 1) is given as

αwtt=limϵ0wϵt1α+twtϵ,t>0.

Moreover, if the previous limit exists at a point s; s > 0 in (0, s), then w(t) is called α-differentiable so that αw(s)t=limts+αw(t)t.

Definition 2. The multiple time-fractional series (MTFS) expansion t0 > 0 is given as

i=0ζixtt0iα=ζ0x+ζ1xtt0α+,

where ϵ(n − 1, n), (t0, t0 + r1/α), r > 0, r1/α is a radius of convergence and ζi(x) indicates unknown coefficients of the expansion. When α = 1, then the expansion in Definition 2 reduces to the usual series expansion at t0 > 0, with a radius of convergence r that converges uniformly on |tt0| < r. Many other definitions are provided in [32].

2 Methodology

2.1 Modified auxiliary equation method

First, we introduce the MAEM [33]. Let us consider FNLPDEs.

Fv,vtα,vxx,,vxt,,=0,(3)

where F is the function’s polynomial. In Eq. 3, v is a function of the spatial variables x and t and represents the propagation of the wave profile. To modify the following, Eq. 3 is transformed into an ordinary differential equation as

v=Vη,η=xvtαα,(4)

where α represents arbitrary constants. Eq. 3 is converted into an ODE of the kind using transforms from Eq. 4.

MV,V,V,=0,(5)

where M stands for the polynomial involving the function V and its regular derivatives V′ = dV/. The solution to Eq. 5 is

Vη=a0+i=1maiLiϕη+aiLiϕη,(6)

where a0 and ai are unknown constants. Function ϕ′(η) is expressed as

ϕη=θLϕη+ϑLϕη+σInL,(7)

where σ, θ, and ϑ are arbitrary constants and L ≠ 1, L > 0. On the basis of the (HBP), we may calculate N. The formal solution to Eq. 5 is obtained by replacing the N in Eq. 6. By substituting the ODE Eq. 7 formal solution into Eq. 5 and setting the coefficients of L(η), i = 0, ±1, ±2 … to zero, the system of linear equations is produced. The unknown constants a0, ai, and ai can be found by solving this system of equations. The following solutions for auxiliary Eq. 7 are taken into consideration as follows:

Case I. When ϑ ≠ 0, σ2 − 4θϑ < 0,

Lϕη=σ+σ2+4θϑtan12σ2+4θϑη2ϑ,(8)

or

Lϕη=σ+σ2+4θϑcot12σ2+4θϑη2ϑ.(9)

Case II. When ϑ ≠ 0, σ2 − 4θϑ > 0,

Lϕη=σ+σ2+4θϑtanh12σ2+4θϑη2ϑ,(10)

or

Lϕη=σ+σ2+4θϑcoth12σ2+4θϑη2ϑ.(11)

Case III. When ϑ ≠ 0, σ2 − 4θϑ = 0,

Lϕη=ση+22ϑη.(12)

By substituting the unknown values for a0, ai, ai and the aforementioned cases into Eq. 6, using transformations from Eq. 4, it is possible to obtain the closed-form solutions to Eq. 1 and Eq. 2.

2.1.1 Application to the fractional-order nonlinear Gardner equation

The governing Eq. 1 transforms into the following ODE using the following conformable derivative transformation from Eq. 4:

vV+V3+6Vλ2V2V=0,
vV+V2λ2V3+3V2=0.(13)

By changing the degree of the highest-order derivative term and nonlinear with HBP, N = 1 is calculated. According to the formal solution in Eq. 13 derived from Eq. 6, we obtain

Vη=a0+a1Lϕη+a1Lϕη.(14)

When Eq. 14 is substituted with Eq. 7 in Eq. 13, the coefficients of powers of L(η), i = 0, ±1, ±2 … are set to zero, resulting in a linear equation system. The following sets of solutions are found by using Mathematica software.

Set 1:

a1=0,a1=ϑλ,a0=0,v=1λ2,θ=0,σ=1λ.(15)

Set 2:

a1=116λ3ϑ,a1=ϑλ,a0=12λ2,v=1λ2,θ=116λ2ϑ,σ=0.(16)

Set 3:

a1=116λ3ϑ,a1=ϑλ,a0=12λ2,v=1λ2,θ=116λ2ϑ,σ=0.(17)

Case III. When ϑ ≠ 0, σ2 − 4θϑ = 0,

v1,10=12λ2+2ϑ2xtααλ2λσxtααλ2+2+σxtααλ2+232λ3ϑ2xtααλ2.(29)

2.1.2 Application to the fractional-order nonlinear Cahn–Hilliard equation

The governing Eq. 2 transforms into the following ODE using the traveling wave transformations from Eq. 4:

vV+V43V21V6VV2V=0.

Then, integrating the aforementioned equation, we obtain

v1V+V3+13V2V=0.(30)

By adjusting the highest-order derivative term’s degree and nonlinear using homogeneous balance principal, N = 1 is calculated. According to the formal solution of Eq. 30 derived from Eq. 6, we obtain

Vη=a0+a1Lϕη+a1Lϕη.(31)

When Eq. 31 is substituted with Eq. 7 into Eq. 30, the coefficients of powers of L(η), i = 0, ±1, ±2 … are set to zero, resulting in a linear equation system. The following sets of solutions are found using Mathematica software.

3 Numerical investigation using the fractional conformable residual power series algorithm

In this section, a newly developed approach is utilized to produce accurate approximations of the time-fractional equations supplied with a given initial condition inside a finite spatiotemporal domain [34]. This approach uses a newly designed algorithm. Let us consider the following nonlinear time-fractional equations to achieve our goal:

tαwx,t+Nw,w2,wx,wxx+=0,(39)

with an initial condition

wx,0=w0x.(40)

The numerical simulation that is being provided assumes that the solution to Eqs 39, 40 has a multiple time-fractional series (MTFS) expansion of approximately t0 = 0 of the following form:

wx,t=i=1mtiαζixi!αi.(41)

The mth truncated solution of w(x, t) of Eq. 40 is defined as

wm=ζ0x+i=1mtiαζixi!αi.(42)

Initially, the residual error Rs(x, t) of Eqs 39, 40 is given as

Rsx,t=tαwx,t+Nw,w2,wx,wxx+.(43)

The Rs(x, t) mth residual error should be truncated so that

Rsmx,t=tαwmx,t+Nwm,wm2,wx,m,wxx,m+.(44)

By replacing the mth truncated residual error in Eq. 44 with the truncated MTFS solution in Eq. 42, we obtain

tαm1Rs2x,t=tmαζ0x+i=1mtiαζixi!αi+Ni=1mtiαζixi!αi+ζ0x,Ni=1mtiαζixi!αi+ζ0x2,i=1mtiαζixi!αi+ζ0xx,i=1mtiαζixi!αi+ζ0xxx+.(45)

To make the major steps of the provided FCRPSA in determining the m-term truncated solution’s unknown coefficients ζi(x) more clear (Eq. 42), set m = 1 and equate Rs1(x,t) to zero at t = 0. Therefore, ζ1(x) is obtained. Thereafter, set m = 2, apply operator tα on both sides of the resulting relevant equation, and solve tαRs2(x,0). Then, ζ2(x) is also obtained. The unknown coefficient ζi(x) of the MTFS expansion would be discovered if we continue solving in this manner (Eq. 42).

3.1 Numerical simulation of the fractional-order nonlinear Gardner equation

Let us consider the equation

Dtαx,t+6wλ2w2wx3wx3=0,(46)

with an initial condition

w0,t=12tanhx2+12.(47)

We use the fractional conformable residual power series algorithm to solve this equation. For this, the m-truncated term is taken as

wm=ζ0x+i=1mtiαζixi!αi,(48)

and the residual error function is

Rsmx,t=αwmt+6wmλ2wm2wmx+3wmx3.(49)

For m = 0,

w0x,t=12tanhx2+12.

For m = 1, the truncated term is

w1x,t=ζ0x+ζ1xtαα,(50)
ζ0x=w0x,t=12tanhx2+12,(51)
w1x,t=12tanhx2+12+ζ1xtαα.(52)

Therefore, the first residual error function is

Rs1x,t=αw1t+6w1λ2w12w1x+3w1x3.(53)

Substituting Eq. 50 into Eq. 53,we obtain

Rs1x,t=6tαζ1xα+ζ0xλ2tαζ1xα+ζ0x2tαζ1xα+ζ0x+tαζ13xα+ζ03x+ζ1x.(54)

Thus, Rs1(x,t) at t = 0 results in

6ζ0xλ2ζ0x2ζ0x+ζ03x+ζ1x=0,(55)
ζ1x=18sech4x23λ21sinhx+3λ24coshx1.(56)

So, the first series solution w1(x, t) is provided by

w1x,t=12+12tanhx2+18sech4x23λ21sinhx+3λ24coshx1tαα.(57)

For m = 2, the truncated term is

w2x,t=ζ2xt2α2α2+ζ1xtαα+ζ0x,(58)
w2x,t=12+12tanhx2+18sech4x23λ21sinhx+3λ24coshx1tαα+ζ2xt2α2α2,(59)

and the second residual error function is obtained by substituting Eq. 58 into Eq. 59

Rs2x,t=αtt2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x+6t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0xλ2t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x22x2t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x+3x3t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x,(60)
Rs2x,t=tαζ2xα+ζ1x+6t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x6λ2t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x2t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x+t2αζ23x2α2+tαζ13xα+ζ03x.(61)

Then, dα/dt is applied on both sides of Eq. 61 and thus at t = 0, we obtain

ζ13xζ2x=12λ2ζ0xζ1xζ0x+6λ2ζ0x2ζ1x6ζ1xζ0x6ζ0xζ1x,(62)
ζ2x=164sech7x218λ4cosh5x242λ2cosh5x224λ21coshx2164sech7x2615λ437λ2+22cosh3x2+24cosh5x2164sech7x2204λ2sinhx2+222λ2sinh3x2+206sinhx2129sinh3x2164sech7x290λ4sinh3x2+18λ4sinh5x242λ2sinh5x2+25sinh5x2,(63)
w2x,t=12+12tanhx2+18sech4x23λ21sinhx+3λ24coshx1tαα164sech7x218λ4cosh5x242λ2cosh5x224λ21coshx2164sech7x2615λ437λ2+22cosh3x2+24cosh5x2164sech7x2204λ2sinhx2+222λ2sinh3x2+206sinhx2129sinh3x2164sech7x2(90λ4sinh3x2+18λ4sinh5x242λ2sinh5x2+25sinh5x2)t2α2α2.(64)

Similarly, through this process, we obtain

wnx,t=12+12tanhx2+18sech4x23λ21sinhx+3λ24coshx1tαα164sech7x218λ4cosh5x242λ2cosh5x224λ21coshx2164sech7x2(615λ437λ2+22cosh3x2+24cosh5x2)164sech7x2(204λ2sinhx2+222λ2sinh3x2++206sinhx2)t2α2α2+.(65)

If α = 1, we obtain the exact solution

wx,t=12tanhxt2+12.(66)

3.2 Numerical simulation of the fractional-order nonlinear Cahn–Hilliard equation

Let us consider the equation

αwt=wx6wwx2+3w212wx24wx4,(67)

with an initial condition

wx,0=tanh2x2.(68)

We use the fractional conformable residual power series algorithm for solving this equation. For this, the m-truncated term is

wm=ζ0x+i=1mtiαζixi!αi,(69)

and the residual error function is

Rsmx,t=αwmtwmx6wmwmx23wm212wmx2+4wmx4.(70)

For m = 0,

w0x,t=tanh2x2.

For m = 1, the truncated term is

w1x,t=ζ0x+ζ1xtαα,(71)
ζ0x=w0x,t=tanh2x2,(72)
w1x,t=tanh2x2+ζ1xtαα.(73)

Therefore, the first residual error function is

Rs1x,t=αw1tw16w1w1x23w1212w1x2+4w1x4.(74)

Substituting Eq. 71 into Eq. 74, we obtain

Rs1x,t=αtζ1xtαα+ζ0xxζ0x+ζ1xtαα6ζ0x+ζ1xtααxζ0+ζ1xtαα23ζ0x+ζ1xtαα212x2ζ1xtαα+ζ0x+4x4ζ0x+ζ1xtαα.(75)

Thus, Rs1(x,t) at t = 0,

6ζ0xζ0x23ζ0x21ζ0xζ0x+ζ04x+ζ1x=0,(76)
ζ1x=sech2x22.(77)

Therefore, the first series solution w1(x, t) is provided by

w1x,t=tanh2x2+sech2x22tαα.(78)

For m = 2, the truncated term is

w2x,t=ζ2xt2α2α2+ζ1xtαα+ζ0x,(79)
w2x,t=tanh2x2+sech2x22tαα+ζ2xt2α2α2.(80)

Substituting Eq. 79 into Eq. 80, the second residual error function is

Rs2x,t=αtt2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0xxt2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x6t2αζ2x2α2+ζ1xtαα+ζ0xxt2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x23t2αζ2x2α2+ζ1xtαα+ζ0x212x2t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x+4x4t2αζ2x2α2+ζ1xtαα+ζ0x,(81)
Rs2x,t=tαζ2xα+ζ1xt2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x6t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0xt2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x23t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x21t2αζ2x2α2+tαζ1xα+ζ0x+t2αζ24x2α2+tαζ14xα+ζ04x.(82)

Then, dα/dt is applied on both sides of Eq. 82 and thus at t = 0, we obtain

ζ2x=12ζ0xζ0xζ1x+6ζ1xζ0x2+3ζ0x2ζ1x+6ζ1xζ0xζ0xζ1x+ζ1xζ14x,(83)
ζ2x=tanhx2sech2x2,(84)
w2x,t=t2αtanhx2sech2x22α2+tαsech2x22α+tanh2x2.(85)

Similarly, through this process, we obtain

w3x,t=116sech6x2tanhx22sinh22x116sech6x2224cosh2x+4cosh22x+49242,(86)
wnx,t=t2αtanhx2sech2x22α2+tαsech2x22α+tanh2x2+116sech6x2tanhx22sinh22x224cosh2x+4cosh22x+49242+.(87)

If α = 1, we obtain the exact solution

wx,t=tanh2x+t2.(88)

4 Stability analysis

In this section, we examine the stability property [35] for Eqs 1, 2. Understanding the stability of an equilibrium solution may be gained by linearizing the FNLPDE around it. In order to investigate the rise or decay of minor perturbations, eigenvalue analysis is performed on the linearized equation, which has fractional derivatives. By solving the characteristic equation linked to the linearized system, the eigenvalues may be found. The equilibrium is stable if all of the eigenvalues have negative real portions; otherwise, it is unstable. Nevertheless, it is crucial to keep in mind that the fractional character of the derivatives makes the eigenvalue analysis more complicated. A Hamiltonian system is used to investigate the stability feature of the nonlinear fractional equations. The Hamiltonian system’s momentum is represented using the following formula:

H=1/2kkw2x,dx.(89)

Consequently, the condition for the stability of solutions is as follows:

Hv>0.(90)

For example, we check the stability property for Eq. 24, and we obtain

H=2ϑ4σv10+4σv1024log10σ+σv+2σ3σv+10+4σv+1024log2σv+10σ3λ2.(91)

Therefore,

Hv|v=2=1.6>0.(92)

So, this solution is stable on the interval [−10, 10]. Similarly, we can check the stability of other obtained solutions with our novel technique.

5 Results and discussion

The MAEM and methods for fractional conformable residual power series are designed particularly to handle fractional equations. They take into account the special characteristics and behaviors related to fractional calculus and are designed to operate with fractional derivatives. These techniques offer specialized tools that are ideally suited for studying FNLPDEs with fractional-order derivatives. When compared to other numerical techniques, the MAEM and fractional conformable residual power series algorithms can provide computational efficiency. They frequently require shortening series expansions or solving auxiliary equations, which can lower the complexity and expense of computing. This benefit may be especially important when handling complex or computationally difficult FNLPDEs. Table 1 presents a comparison of the absolute error |ww2| of both equations. These results clearly demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the numerical technique. The results of the MAEM include the periodic and singular solutions. Utilizing 3D surface plots, 2D contour plots, density graphs, and 2D line graphs, the graphical simulation of a few retrieved solutions is discussed. The graphs are created for appropriate values of the arbitrary parameters α, λ, and ϑ. Figure 1 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at α = 1, λ = 1, ϑ = −1, and t = 5 of v1,1(x, t). Similarly, Figure 2 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at α = 1, λ = 1, ϑ = 1, and t = 10, which is a periodic solitary wave of v1,3(x, t). Figure 3 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at α = 1, λ = 1, ϑ = −1, and t = 0.5, 1, 1.5 of v1,5(x, t). Similarly, Figure 4 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at α = 1 and t = 5 of v1,7(x, t). Figure 5 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at θ = 1 and ϑ = 0.1 of v2,2(x, t). Similarly, Figure 6 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at θ = 1 and ϑ = 0.1, which is periodic solitary wave of v2,4(x, t). Figure 7 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at α = 1, which is a singular soliton solution of v2,5(x, t). Figure 8 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at θ = 1 and ϑ = 0.1, which is periodic solitary wave of v2,4(x, t). Figure 9 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at α = 1, which is a singular soliton solution of v2,5(x, t). Figure 10 shows the 3D, 2D, and counterplot graphs at θ = 1 and ϑ = 0.1, which is a periodic solitary wave of v2,4(x, t). Figure 11 shows the comparison of error terms between numerical and analytical techniques. Figure 12 shows the comparison between numerical and analytical techniques. Figure 13 shows the stability analysis of governing equations. Fundamental mathematical techniques used to describe and examine real-world occurrences in science and engineering include trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational functions. In order to represent oscillatory motion and periodic phenomena like waves and tides, trigonometric functions like sine and cosine are used. Heat conduction, population expansion, and fluid dynamics are the three areas where hyperbolic functions, such as hyperbolic sine and cosine, are used to depict exponential growth and decay. Rational functions, which are polynomial ratios, have asymptotes, holes, and other graph characteristics that make them useful for simulating complex systems in financial analysis, control systems, population dynamics, and circuit design.

6 Conclusion

The nonlinear fractional Cahn–Hilliard and Gardner equations have been addressed in this paper using a unique methodology. This analytical technique is useful for creating partial differential equations and discovering approximate solutions under the right initial circumstances. The effectiveness of the suggested method is also shown by the precise results obtained utilizing MAEM with a smaller number of series terms. The application of this method to two different physical models demonstrates its accuracy and efficiency in handling fractional nonlinear equations, leading to stunning and complicated graphics. Additionally, the approximation series’ quick convergence is noted. We can see how the graphs change as a result of changing parameter values. When the calculations and simulations performed in Mathematica 11 were compared to previous numerical findings, it became clear that this numerical method is capable of handling difficult fractional equations in higher dimensions. The analytical approach used here is also notable for being straightforward, reliable, and succinct when solving nonlinear partial differential equations. The overall findings of the study emphasize the importance of this strategy in improving our knowledge and management of such difficult equations.
