Multi-solitary wave solutions to the general time fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation and the time fractional Cahn–Allen equation

Abstract The space time fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olver (STO) equation and the time fractional Cahn–Allen (CA) equation are well-designated to fission and fusion phenomena including those for solitons, electromagnetic interactions, quantum relativistic atom theory, phase isolation in several components bass system, the relativistic energy-momentum relation. In this article, we have exerted the exact solution to STO and CA equation in the light of fractional derivative (e.g. modified Riemann–Liouville derivative). By using wave transformation the ODE of integer order is generated by the fractional partial differential equation (FPDE). We investigated the travelling wave solution to these equations through the recently established double (G'/G,1/G)-expansion method. The results obtained in view of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions containing parameters. We have demonstrated that this method is convenient, effective and powerful tools for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations (NLFDEs)
