General Traveling Wave Solutions of Nonlinear Conformable Fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olever Equations and Discussing the Effects of the Fractional Derivatives by Kai Fan, Rui Wang, Cunlong Zhou

“…After transforming it into the Sharma-Tasso-Olever equation of the integer order by the fractional complex transformation, the general solution of its traveling wave is obtained by a specific function transformation. Through parameter setting, the solution of the kinked solitary wave is found from the general solution of the traveling wave, and it is found that when the two fractional derivatives become smaller synchronically, the waveform becomes more smooth, but the position is basically unchanged. …”
