Abstract

The time-fractional coupled Konno-Oono equation model describes a current-carrying rope placed in an outside magnetic field. This model is important for understanding wave behavior in such physical systems. However, finding a wide range or new soliton solutions of this model remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, we study this model using two analytical methods: the modified auxiliary equation method and the generalized projective Riccati equation method. The effects of different orders of time derivatives on the system are also examined using three types of derivatives: conformable, beta, and M-truncated. The proposed model yields many new solitary wave solutions, including periodic solitons, singular periodic shapes, dark-bright solitons, and anti-bell-shaped solutions. Unlike previous work, this study provides a broader family of solutions using simple and reliable methods. The physical behavior of these solutions is shown using 2D line graphs, 3D surface graphs, and contour plots generated with Wolfram Mathematica 9. We also discuss the stability of the proposed model. These results help us understand various natural and dynamical processes.
