Abstract

The nonlinear space–time fractional Sasa–Satsuma and Schrödinger–Hirota equations with beta derivative describe optical soliton, photonics, plasmas, neutral scalar masons, and long-surface gravitational waves in the real world. Through the fractional wave transform, the models are converted into a single wave variable equation. In this article, we examine a range of compatible, useful, and typical wave solutions expressed in the forms of hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational functions uniformly through the (\(Q^{\prime}/Q,1/Q\))-expansion approach. When specific parameter values are set, the generalized wave solutions exhibit a wide range of shapes, including asymptotic, anti-asymptotic, dark-optical, breather, lump-periodic, kink, kink-bell-shaped, homoclinic-breather, bright, dark, and periodic solitons that resemble periodic breathing patterns. We also investigate the effect of the fractional parameter \(\delta\) into the wave profile, revealing a clear correlation between changes in the fractional order derivative \(\delta\) and variation in the soliton’s shape. The results underscore the use of this approach for the exploration of diverse nonlinear fractional systems within the context of beta derivatives. Varying the fractional-order \(\delta\) and maintaining specific fixed parameter values, we depict 3D-surface, 2D-surface, density, and contour plots to visualize some of the derived solutions.
