Abstract
The KdV equation has many applications in mechanics and wave dynamics. Therefore, researchers are carrying out work to develop and analyze modified and generalized forms of the standard KdV equation. In this paper, we inspect the KdV-mKdV equation, which is a modified and generalized form of the ordinary KdV equation. We use the fractional operator in the Caputo sense to analyze the equation. We examine some theoretical results concerned with the solution’s existence, uniqueness, and stability. We employ a modified Laplace method to extract the numerical results of the considered equation. We use MATLAB-2020 to simulate the results in a few fractional orders. We report the effects of the fractional order on the wave dynamics of the proposed equation.
1. Introduction
In 1895, Korteweg and de Vries proposed a non-linear PDE called the KdV equation, which was used to study the waves that occur on shallow water surfaces. This precisely solvable model has been the subject of numerous studies. Many scholars have suggested novel uses for the production of acoustic waves from ions and crystal lattices in plasma. A standard KdV equation has the form:
The KdV equation has been applied extensively in a variety of domains, including the understanding of shallow water waves, ion acoustic waves, bubble liquid mixes, and magneto-hydrodynamic waves in warm plasma [1,2]. Specific theoretical physics phenomena connected to quantum mechanics are described using a KdV model. The model is used in the disciplines of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, continuum mechanics for the creation of shock waves, solitons, turbulence, boundary layer behaviour, and mass transport. It has been studied and used for a long time. Several modifications and generalization forms of the standard KdV equation have been introduced in the literature [3,4,5]. Very recently, Malik et al. [6] introduced a new generalized form of the KdV equation:
where and are arbitrary constants. The authors considered some new exact solutions of the proposed KdV equation. This equation has several applications in fluid mechanics and acoustic wave dynamics.
In recent years, non-local operators (NLO) and their applications have become an important research topic for scientists and engineers. NLOs have unique features and advantages that are absent in integer operators. NLOs can provide past information about a physical process. The most well-known and widely used NLO operator is the Caputo operator. This operator has been used for modeling and analyzing many physical events [7,8]. After much time, it was found that the Caputo operator has a singularity issue in the kernel. So, to address this issue, Caputo and his co-author Fabrizio modified the Caputo operator by replacing the power-law kernel by an exponential-decay kernel. The new operator was named the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) operator. The CF operator has also been applied to the analysis of several phenomena [9,10]. After one year, it was determined that the CF operator possesses a local kernel. Hence, Atangana and Baleanu replaced the exponential decay with a Mittag–Leffler kernel to address the issue of the locality of the kernel in the CF operator. The new operator was referred to as the Atangana–Baleanu (AB) operator. Over the past six years, the AB operator has been extensively used by researchers to study the evolution and behavior of non-linear processes. Some applications of the AB operators in physical sciences are listed in [11,12,13,14,15,16]. Fractional calculus has many applications in mathematical physics. For example, Cao et al. studied symmetric and anti-symmetric solitons of the fractional non-linear Schrödinger equation [17]. Li et al. investigated the existence, bifurcation and stability of two-dimensional optical solitons in the framework of the fractional non-linear Schrödinger equation [18]. Mou et al. analyzed coupled discrete conformable fractional non-linear Schrödinger equations [19]. Chen studied combined optical soliton solutions of a (1+1)-dimensional time fractional resonant cubic-quintic non-linear Schrödinger equation in weakly non-local non-linear media [20]. Fang et al. investigated the discrete fractional soliton dynamics of the fractional Ablowitz–Ladik model [21]. Bo and his co-authors analyzed symmetric and antisymmetric solitons in the fractional non-linear Schrödinger equation with saturable non-linearity and PT-symmetric potential [22]. Some further applications of fractional calculus in mathematical physics can be found in the literature [23,24,25].
Motivated by the above literature, we investigate the considered KdV Equation (1) using the AB operator. We explore some qualitative features, such as the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the solution. We use a hybrid Laplace transform to deduce an approximate solution. We simulate the obtained solution for a few fractional orders to show a new type of soliton solution which has not been studied previously in the literature. The structure of the paper is as follows: Section 2 deals with basic concepts of fractional calculus. Section 3 provides an analysis of the considered equation. Section 4 is devoted to solution of the considered equation. The convergence and stability of the method is described in Section 5. The simulation of the obtained results is provided in Section 6. In Section 7, we present the conclusions.

3. Analysis of Fractional KdV-mKdV Equation
As discussed in the introduction, the fractional operator provides complete past information for a non-linear process. Motivated by this, we consider the KdV-mKdV Equation (1) under the Mitagg–Leffler fractional operator as:
Here, we discuss some theoretical results for the considered equation. We extract numerical results using the Laplace transform and the Adomian decomposition method. We present the convergence and stability of the solution.
Existence Theory
In this part, some results concerning the existence and uniqueness of the solution will be derived. For this, let
Then, the above Equation (2) becomes:
Applying the integral, we get

5. Convergence and Stability Analysis
In this section, we derive some results about the convergence and stability of the considered scheme. Convergence is given in the Theorem below.
Theorem 4.

Thus, our proposed scheme is Picard -stable. □
6. Simulations and Discussion
In this section, we present the evolution of the obtained solutions of two examples for a few fractional orders. Figure 1 shows the dynamics of the solution of Example 1 for All the dynamics in Figure 1 are displayed via 3D and contour plots. Overall, the solution of the first example shows kink wave behavior. Moreover, the kink behavior is affected by the fractional order . For lower fractional orders, we see a hybrid type kink solution. For instance, for fractional orders and , we see lump-type waves on top of kink waves. These behaviors are not visible in integer order, as shown in Figure 1c. Next, the solution for Example 2 is presented in Figure 2. The solution is presented for the fractional orders and 1. The solution for Example 2 shows kink-type behaviour. The fractional order has a great effect on the structure of the kink behaviour. As we observed in Figure 2a–c, the kink shape changes significantly as the fractional order decreases. These evolutions are not attainable in integer order, as shown in Figure 2d. In short, we can say that the proposed approach is essential for the study of the kink behaviour of the proposed equation. The validity and convergence of the applied technique is presented in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 shows the absolute error for Example 1, while Table 2 gives the error analysis for Example 2. Both tables show that the error between the acquired solution and the exact solution are very small. This demonstrates the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach.

7. Conclusions
In this paper, we have discussed the extended version of the KdV equation under the fractional operator. We have considered the fractional operator with the convolution of non-singular and non-local kernels. We derived qualitative properties regarding the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the solution. We have used the Laplace transform with a decomposition method to derive the solution of the considered KdV-mKdV equation. We have proved the convergence of the proposed method. Furthermore, the Picard stability of the solution of the considered equation has been proved using fixed-point theory. We have visualized all the obtained solutions via 3D and contour plots. We have observed the hidden wave dynamics for the fractional order from the simulations, which can not be seen via the integer order. We have considered two examples whose solutions exhibit kink behaviour. The effects of the fractional order on the shape of kink behaviour are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. We concluded that the fractional operator has a significant effect on the shape of the kink solution of the proposed KdV-mKdV equation.
In the literature, several researchers have pointed out issues relating to fractional operators. For instance, Cresson et al. [27] described issues including Leibniz and chain rule properties for various extensions of Riemann–-Liouville fractional derivatives. The issue of the Leibniz rule in fractional operators was discussed by Tarasov in his short paper [28]. He pointed out that the Leibniz rule is only valid for integer-order operators, but not for fractional operators. Ortigueira highlighted another issue in the fractional calculus literature. He proved that the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative of a constant is not zero (for more details see [29]). Several approaches can be applied to further investigate the considered equation in future. Some well-known operators, such as fractal-fractional operators, stochastic operators and fuzzy operators can be used to further investigate the considered equation in future projects.
