1. Introduction
The nonlinear partial differential equation models in many areas of mathematical physics perform an essential role in theoretical sciences. The sine-Gordon equation is one of the widely important nonlinear equations that plays a vital role in physical science and engineering. This equation has many applications such as relativistic field theory, the Josephson junction, and mechanical transmission lines. The nonlinear sine-Gordon equation (SGE) is a class of hyperbolic partial differential equations, which is usually utilized to explain the physical phenomena in several areas of engineering and science, for instance, nonlinear problems in physics and the diffusion of fluxions; see [1]. The sine-Gordon equation was first introduced in the course of study of various problems of differential geometry [2]. The approximate solution of the one-dimensional sine-Gordon equation was obtained by utilizing the combined Laplace transform method and VIM [3]. The author in [4] studied the two-dimensional SGE on Cartesian grids by improving an energy-conserving local discontinuous Galerkin method. The numerical solutions of the one-dimensional coupled nonlinear sine-Gordon equations are obtained by using the geometric meshless method [5]. Many techniques have been applied to obtain the approximate analytical solutions of sine-Gordon equations, such as the reduced differential transform method [6] and the modified Adomian decomposition method applied to obtain approximate Jacobi elliptic function solutions of the (N + 1)-dimensional sine-Gordon equation [7], and the authors in [8] used an analytical method called the Natural Decomposition Method (NDM) for solving the nonlinear sine-Gordon equation. The nonlinear coupled sine-Gordon equations were first presented in [9]. The author in [10] studied the numerical solution of the coupled sine-Gordon equation by applying the modified decomposition method. Recently, many authors have utilized diverse methods to obtain the solution of nonlinear coupled sine-Gordon equations; for example, the authors in [11] introduced rational exponential techniques to find the exact solutions of a coupled sine-Gordon equation; the authors in [12] discussed the solution of sine-Gordon and coupled sine-Gordon equations by using the homotopy perturbation method. The author [13] employed the double-Sumudu transform iterative method for solving the one-dimensional coupled nonlinear sine-Gordon equation. The authors [14] applied the triple-Laplace transform method to obtain the solution of the two-dimensional coupled nonlinear sine-Gordon equation. In recent years, various mathematicians have applied the double-Laplace transform to solve different types of partial differential equations (see [15,16,17]). The generalized Laplace transform was introduced first in [18]; further properties of this transform are given in [19] and were subsequently utilized to solve certain nonlinear dynamical models with non-integer order in [20]. This work aims to introduce a new integral transform called the G-double-Laplace transform. This new integral transform is derived from the generalized Laplace transform. It is proposed with the decomposition method to facilitate the procedure of solving sine-Gordon and coupled sine-Gordon equations and to help researchers solve several problems related to physics and engineering in the future.
Here, we recall the definition of the generalized Laplace transform as follows.

4. Conclusions
In the course of this work, we introduced a new technique called the G-double-Laplace transform, which accurately describes its various definitions, theorems, existence conditions, partial derivatives, and the double-convolution theorems. Taking advantage of these new insights, we successfully obtained the exact solution of the one-dimensional coupled nonlinear sine-Gordon equation. To check the applicability of our technique, we provided some demonstrative examples. From the results we obtained, we strongly advise applying this method in the future so it can be extended to solve different nonlinear fractional partial differential equations related to physics and engineering problems.
