Study of traveling soliton and fronts phenomena in fractional Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation

Abstract

Abstract The present research work presents the modified Extended Direct Algebraic Method (m-EDAM) to construct and analyze propagating soliton solutions for fractional Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation (FKPPE) which incorporates Caputo’s fractional derivatives. The FKPPE has significance in various disciplines such as population growth, reaction-diffusion mechanisms, and mathematical biology. By leveraging the series form solution, the proposed m-EDAM determines plethora of travelling soliton solutions through the transformation of FKPPE into Nonlinear Ordinary Differential equation (NODE). These soliton solutions shed light on propagation processes in the framework of the FKPPE model. Our study also offers some graphical representations that facilitate the characterization and investigation of propagation processes of the obtained soliton solutions which include kink, shock soliton solutions. Our work advances our understanding of complicated phenomena across multiple academic disciplines by fusing insights from mathematical biology and reaction-diffusion mechanisms.
