Introduction
Soliton theory constitutes a significant field within nonlinear dynamics, physics, and applied mathematics, impacting various domains such as the telecommunications industry, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, and solid-state physics. Solitons characterize the particle-like properties of nonlinear pulses, and optical solitons, in particular, have garnered attention for their application in transmission technology through diverse waveguide structures. The study of nonlinear optics in the physical sciences and the investigation of optical solitons in communications theory hold great relevance.
Several models have been utilized to develop Optical Solitons (OSs) for communication purposes. The Nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation (NLSE) and its variant forms have been extensively employed in dispersive mediums across various scopes of applied mathematics and physics1,2,3,4,5. Solitons emerge due to a delicate equilibrium between group velocity dispersion (GVD) and nonlinearity within the medium. If the GVD value is small, this equilibrium can be at risk. Thus, investigating the balance between these two properties, particularly their dispersive effects, is crucial.
The Fokas–Lenells (FL) equation6,7, a prominent model akin to NLSE, finds extensive applications in fiber-optics communication. Its significance in research drives the exploration of diverse forms of OSs. Multiple methodologies have been established to generate OS solutions for such models, including the modified (G′/G)-expansion method8,9,10, the unified method11,12, the modified double Laplace transform scheme13, the adapted exponential task scheme14, the symbolic computational approach15, generalized Riccati equation mapping16, mapping method17, the φ6-model expansion approach18, sine–Gordon expansion method19, the improved Kudryashov’s approach20, Lie symmetry analysis21, the New generalized auxiliary equation method22, binary Darboux transformations23, among many others.
This study aims to explore uncharted Optical Soliton Solutions (OSSs) of the STFFL equation through the local M-derivative and its implications using the SSE24, elucidating the dynamic characteristics of the FL model. We consider the STFFL equation via the local M-derivative and its properties as follows25:
where \(a_{1}\) is the STD coefficient, \(a_{2}\) is GVD coefficient, \(a_{4}\) is the self-steepening coefficient,\(a_{3}\) is inter-modal dispersion (IMD) coefficient, \(\gamma\) is nonlinear dispersion (ND) coefficient, \(i = \sqrt { - 1} ,\) \(\psi = \psi (x,t)\) is a wave function. The first term of the STFFL equation dictates the fractional temporal evolution of the pulse. When specific condition is met, the STFFL equation reverts to the original FL equation. Within nonlinear optics, the STFFL equation governs the propagation of nonlinear light pulses in monomode optical fibers, incorporating supposed non-linear higher-order properties for a comprehensive explanation.

Local M-derivative and traveling wave hypothesis
Local M-derivative
The authors aimed to underscore the paper's originality by addressing why they chose to solve the mentioned equation using the concept of local M-derivative. The authors opted for the local M-derivative over other options like Conformable, fractional, or Beta derivatives, likely due to its specific suitability, applicability, or advantageous characteristics within the context of their study. These derivatives might not have offered the same level of precision, relevance, or effectiveness for addressing the equation or problem outlined in the paper. The local M-derivative offers several advantages:
-
Localized Sensitivity: It captures localized behavior within a function, emphasizing changes in a specific region rather than across the entire domain. This localized sensitivity can be crucial in various real-world applications.
-
Flexibility: It provides flexibility in describing non-smooth or irregular functions, offering a more nuanced understanding of intricate behaviors within localized segments.
-
Adaptability: It can be tailored to various applications, allowing for adjustments based on specific requirements or characteristics of the problem at hand.
-
Simplicity: Compared to some other fractional or non-integer order derivatives, the local M-derivative might offer simpler computational procedures or interpretations, facilitating easier implementation and analysis.
-
Accuracy: In certain scenarios or for specific types of functions, the local M-derivative might provide more accurate or relevant results compared to other derivative approaches, particularly when focusing on local properties.
These advantages collectively contribute to the appeal and utility of the local M-derivative in certain mathematical or scientific contexts, making it a preferred choice in some studies or analyses.
The application of the local M-derivative enables the transformation of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations into nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations.
Consider the function \(f:[0, \propto ) \to \Re ,\) \(t > 0\), \(0 < \mu < 1,\) then definition of the local M-derivative of order \(\mu\) as follows:
here \(E_{\delta } (.)\) is the Mittag–Leffler function with one parameter and \(f(t)\) is a p-differentiable function in \((0,p),p > 0,\) and if \(\lim_{{t \to 0^{ + } }} D_{M}^{\mu ;\delta }\) exists, subsequently we have
The local M-derivative possesses the following properties:
Traveling wave hypothesis
Consider the wave transformation:
Interchanging equation (2.3) into equation (1.1) and extracting the real part yields
and from the imaginary part, we get:
When n = 1, then the Eqs. (1.1), (2.5) and (2.4) become
Resting \(a_{4} + 2na_{4} + 2\gamma = 0\) into Eq. (2.8), we get:
where \(a_{6}\) gives the velocity of solitons.
Phase plane analysis of the model
Let \(S_{1} = a_{6}^{2} (a_{1} - a_{2} a_{6} ),\) \(S_{2} = (a_{2} k\omega - \omega - a_{1} k^{2} - a_{3} k)\) and \(S_{3} = (\beta + ka_{5} ) - ka_{4}\), then the Eq. (2.7) can be written as:
We analyze the phase-plane (PP) dynamics of Eq. (3.1). Therefore, let us consider that \(X = U\) and \(Y = X^{\prime}\) of the Eq. (3.1) and Eq. (3.1) re-write as a first-order dynamical system (DS) of the form,
which (3.2) expresses the PP through OS solutions of the STFFL equation and \((X(\eta ),\,\,Y(\eta ))\) is the solution of the Eq. (3.1).
The Eq. (3.1) come from the HF in Eq. (3.2) through Hamilton canonical equations (HCEs) \(\frac{dX}{{d\eta }} = X^{\prime} = \frac{\partial H}{{\partial Y}}\) and \(\frac{dY}{{d\eta }} = Y^{\prime} = - \frac{\partial H}{{\partial X}}\), where \(H\) is a \(C^{2} -\) function.
Theorem 3.1
The values of the Hamiltonian function (HF) are constant along solution curves.
Proof
We can write \(H^{\prime}(X,Y) = H_{X} X^{\prime} + H_{y} Y^{\prime}.\) Applying HCEs, we obtain \(H^{\prime}(X,Y) = H_{X} H_{Y} + H_{y} ( - H_{X} ) = 0,\) which suggests \(H(X,Y) = cons\tan t( = h).\)
Therefore
where h is the constant of integration. The theorem (3.1) is proved.
Three equilibrium points of the DS (3.1) are \((\sqrt {\frac{{ - S_{2} }}{{S_{3} }}} ,0)\), \(( - \sqrt {\frac{{ - S_{2} }}{{S_{3} }}} ,0)\) and \((0,0)\). If we set the values of \(k = 0.50,\) \(\omega = 0.30,\) \(\beta = 0.25,\) \(a_{1} = - 1,\) \(a_{2} = - 1.20,\) \(a_{3} = - 0.36,\) \(a_{4} = 1,\) \(a_{5} = 1\) and \(a_{6} = 1\), then the equilibrium points \(( - 0.8944271910,\,\,0)\), \((0,\,\,0)\) and \((0.8944271910,\,\,0)\) represent a circle, saddle point and saddle point, respectively (see Fig. 1).
Three equilibrium points of the DS (3.1) are \((\sqrt {\frac{{ - S_{2} }}{{S_{3} }}} ,0)\), \(( - \sqrt {\frac{{ - S_{2} }}{{S_{3} }}} ,0)\) and \((0,0)\). If we set the values of \(k = 1,\) \(\omega = 1,\) \(\beta = 0.25,\) \(a_{1} = 0,\) \(a_{2} = - 4,\) \(a_{3} = - 4,\) \(a_{4} = 1,\) \(a_{5} = 1\) and \(a_{6} = 1\), then the equilibrium points \(( - 2,\,\,0)\), \((0,\,\,0)\) and \((2,\,\,0)\) represent a circle, saddle point and saddle point, respectively (see Fig. 2).
Finally, three equilibrium points of the DS (3.1) are \((\sqrt {\frac{{ - S_{2} }}{{S_{3} }}} ,0)\), \(( - \sqrt {\frac{{ - S_{2} }}{{S_{3} }}} ,0)\) and \((0,0)\). If we set the values of \(k = 1,\) \(\omega = 1,\) \(\beta = 1,\) \(a_{1} = 10,\) \(a_{2} = 1,\) \(a_{3} = 1,\) \(a_{4} = 1,\) \(a_{5} = 1\) and \(a_{6} = 1\), then the equilibrium points \(( - 3.3166247904,\,\,0)\), \((0,\,\,0)\) and \((3.3166247904,\,\,0)\) represent a circle, saddle point and saddle point, respectively (see Fig. 3). From this discussion, we ascertain that the DS is altered by changing the values of the parameters.

According to the SSE technique, we have:
From (4.1) and (2.7), then we find:
Replacing (4.2) in (4.1), then we obtain:
Cluster-01 If \(a = 0\) and \(b > 0\), then
Cluster-02 If \(a = 0\) and \(b < 0\), then
Cluster-03 If \(a = \frac{{b^{2} }}{4}\) and \(b < 0\), then
Cluster-04 If \(a = \frac{{b^{2} }}{4}\) and \(b > 0\), then
Results and discussion
The SSE approach, utilized in this article rather than the improved tan(φ(η)/2)-expansion and the generalized projective Riccati equation methods, holds a key advantage: it generates a broader array of fresh optical soliton solutions, offering extra free parameters. While the solutions obtained from the other methods represent specific instances within the SSE approach, our method introduces entirely new optical soliton solutions, essential for unraveling the underlying mechanisms of physical phenomena. Beyond their significance in the physical realm, these optical soliton solutions derived from nonlinear evolution equations serve as crucial benchmarks for numerical solvers. They aid in comparing result accuracies and conducting stability analyses. In the methods employing the improved tan(φ(η)/2)-expansion and the generalized projective Riccati equation, computer algebra tools like Maple typically assist in finding useful solutions for the algebraic equations in step 4 of Section "Local M-derivative and traveling wave hypothesis", particularly when the reduced ordinary differential equation (ODE) is of order three or less. However, when the order exceeds three, ensuring a solution to the resulting algebraic equations becomes challenging due to the common issue of having more equations than unknowns. Conversely, the SSE method employed here allows for handling reduced ODEs up to the fourth order, thanks to the incorporation of additional arbitrary constants. This capability surpasses the limitations of the improved tan(φ(η)/2)-expansion and generalized projective Riccati equation methods.
In contrast to the research detailed in25, our study marks a significant leap in exploring the STFFL equation. Raza et al.25 diligently derived eleven solutions using the improved tan(φ(η)/2)-expansion method and seven solutions using the generalized projective Riccati equation method in their comprehensive investigation. Similarly, our study mirrors their findings but unveils a more enriched and expanded set of solutions, representing a pivotal advancement that significantly broadens the spectrum and diversity of potential solutions. We've gone beyond trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, extending into rational, periodic, and hyperbolic forms. Furthermore, our research delves deeper into the intricacies of the STFFL equation by meticulously analyzing the effects of individual parameters, fractional elements, and nonlinearities characterized by general parametric powers on the obtained results. Additionally, we delve into how variations in the order of derivatives influence the resulting wave profile. These investigations are aimed at achieving a deeper understanding of the nature and behavior exhibited by these solutions. Acknowledging the inherent complexity in these findings, we recognize the pivotal role of visual aids in elucidating the essence and dynamics of these solutions. Therefore, we've utilized graphical illustrations to provide an intuitive and accessible comprehension of the intricate relationships and patterns observed within our research. These visual representations serve as indispensable tools, facilitating a comprehensive grasp of the multifaceted nature of the solutions derived from the STFFL equation, thereby enhancing our understanding of their behavior and characteristics. In this section, we present the graphical performance of OSSs in 3D, contour, and 2D surfaces, demonstrating the effects of fractional and time parameters within the STFFL equation.

A comprehensive summary
The study delves into the space–time fractional Fokas–Lenells (STFFL) equation, an essential model in telecommunications and transmission technology that describes nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers. Employing the Sardar sub-equation (SSE) method within the STFFL framework, this research explores uncharted territories, unearthing a multitude of optical soliton solutions (OSSs) and conducting a comprehensive analysis of their bifurcations.
The discovered OSSs encompass a rich variety, spanning bright-dark, periodic, multiple bright-dark solitons, and other intriguing types, forming a captivating spectrum. These solutions unveil an intricate interplay among various soliton types, periodic sequences, breathers, coexisting solitons, as well as distinctive phenomena like kinks, anti-kinks, and dark-bell solitons. This exploration, rooted in an extensive literature review, uncovers previously undiscovered wave patterns within the dynamic STFFL equation, significantly expanding theoretical understanding and paving the way for innovative applications. Utilizing 2D, contour, and 3D diagrams, the study illustrates the influence of fractional and temporal parameters on these solutions. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis through various diagrams scrutinizes the nonlinear effects inherent in the STFFL equation. Employing a Hamiltonian function (HF) facilitates detailed phase-plane dynamics analysis, supplemented by simulations using Python and MAPLE software.
The practical implications of these discovered OSS solutions extend to real-world physical events, underscoring the effectiveness and applicability of the SSE scheme in solving time–space nonlinear fractional differential equations (TSNLFDEs). Acknowledging the SSE technique as a direct, efficient, and reliable numerical tool is crucial, illuminating precise outcomes in nonlinear comparisons.
The SSE technique successfully uncovers previously unexplored OSSs and their bifurcation analysis within the STFFL equation, encompassing a range of solutions showcased in visual representations. Investigating how wave profiles change for different derivative order and time parameters aids in understanding the nature and behavior of these OSSs.
The nonlinear effects of the STFFL equation are further explored through a variety of diagrams, establishing a Hamiltonian function that enhances the analysis of phase plane dynamics. These discovered OSS solutions hold significant implications for real-world physical events, endorsing the utility and reliability of the SSE scheme in elucidating various nonlinear fractional differential equations.
Ultimately, employing the SSE method for the STFFL equation showcases promising advantages in understanding diverse nonlinear phenomena across multiple fields, proving invaluable in unraveling intricate physical phenomena. The adaptable solutions with adjustable parameters underscore the method's remarkable effectiveness and adaptability in tackling complex nonlinear phenomena highlighted within this paper.
Conclusion
We successfully applied the SSE technique to uncover unexplored OSSs and their bifurcation analysis (BA) within the STFFL equation. The derived OSSs include a range of solutions such as bright-dark, periodic, breather, multiple bright-dark solitons, kinks, anti-kinks, and dark-bell solitons, as depicted in Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Additionally, contour surfaces were generated and presented in Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Our examination explored how the wave profiles changed for different values of the derivative order and time parameters, illustrated in Figs. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and Figs. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. Visual representations were crucial in understanding the nature and behavior of these OSSs. To investigate the nonlinear effects of the STFFL equation, we created 2D, 3D, contour, and BA diagrams. Establishing a Hamiltonian function (HF) furthered our analysis of the phase plane's (PP) dynamics. The discovered OSS solutions within the STFFL equation hold significant implications for real-world physical events. Our findings strongly support the utility and reliability of the SSE scheme for elucidating various nonlinear fractional differential equations. Ultimately, employing the SSE method for the STFFL equation unveils promising advantages in understanding diverse nonlinear phenomena spanning fields like nonlinear optics, quantum field theory, and solid-state physics. Providing adaptable solutions with adjustable parameters, this method proves invaluable in unraveling intricate nonlinear physical phenomena. The showcased solutions in this paper emphasize the method's remarkable effectiveness and adaptability in tackling these complex phenomena.
