- 2.
- Wave Transformation. To reduce the nonlinear PDE into an ODE, we introduce the traveling wave transformation:where v is the wave speed and is the fractional order parameter. This transformation combines the spatial and temporal variables into a single wave variable , consistent with the structure of conformable fractional calculus.The constants and play essential roles. The shift ensures consistency with the conformable derivative and avoids singular behavior at , while the factor cancels the coefficient arising from differentiation, leading to a constant velocity term. Using the conformable property:it follows that the conformable derivative of is constant, namely . Applying the conformable chain rule yields , while spatial derivatives reduce to ordinary derivatives with respect to . In the limiting case , the transformation reduces to the classical traveling wave form , up to an irrelevant constant shift.Therefore, Equation (4) is transformed into an ODE of the form:where denotes a polynomial in U and its derivatives with respect to .

Suppose that Equation (6) has a formal solution of the form:where () are arbitrary constants to be determined such that is a solution to the auxiliary nonlinear ODE:where () are real numbers determined through substitution of the solution ansatz (7) together with (8) into the reduced ODE (6), leading to an algebraic system obtained by equating coefficients of like powers of , which determines the admissible parameter sets ensuring the existence of Jacobi elliptic solutions.Equation (8) is a first-order autonomous ODE of the form with F a polynomial in . A solution is any differentiable function satisfying this relation. For any initial condition with , local existence and uniqueness (up to sign of ) follow from standard ODE theory. Such equations are integrable and admit elliptic function solutions.
