Introduction
Nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) have a considerable influence on the study of nonlinear physical sciences. These equations are often used to elucidate many intricate natural phenomena. NLPDEs are mainly used to characterize the behaviors of waves in the form of solitons and solitary waves. As a result, the investigation of nonlinear waves plays a substantial role in our daily lives and in a variety of research fields, including hydrodynamics1, fluid dynamics and mechanics2, earth science3, solid-state physics4, water waves5, chaos theory6, quantum mechanics7, and many others. These expanded models encouraged a multitude of potential research projects and significantly elucidated the physical properties of engineering and physics applications. Consequently, the study of NLPDEs has consistently attracted considerable interest in recent years. Nonlinear differential equations represent various scientific experimental models. To comprehend the intrinsic characteristics of the nonlinear model, analytical and accurate solutions to the models are essential. It is necessary to investigate the solutions and characteristics of NLPDEs in order to understand the structure they represent. Researchers have developed a number of efficient methods using symbolic computations to ensure the accuracy of soliton solutions to NLPDEs. Numerous problem-solving methods have their own advantages and requirements when used in management models. NLPDEs are now widely recognized as the most comprehensive way for defining the physical significance of nonlinear scenarios occurring in the fields of science and engineering.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the characteristics of soliton solutions and their applications in various scientific and technological domains. Soliton theory is a significant field of research in the fields of applied mathematics and mathematical physics. Solitons are wave bundles that are self-sustaining and maintain their shape while traveling at a constant speed, as defined by mathematics and physics. There are numerous varieties of solitons, including dark, bright, peakons, anti-kink, kink, temporal, spatiotemporal, spatial, and singular. There have been numerous investigations that have demonstrated the diverse characteristics of soliton solutions and their applications in scientific and technological fields8. Numerous disciplines, such as fluid dynamics, plasma physics, nonlinear optics, coastal engineering, and communications engineering, have significant uses for soliton solutions. They are essential for the advancement of global communication. Advanced analytical and numerical strategies have been devised by mathematicians to ascertain the soliton solutions of various NLPDEs. Soliton waves are gaining significance in a variety of fields, such as nonlinear optics, optical fibers, and ferromagnetic materials. This multidisciplinary approach, which integrates mathematics, computer science, and physics, demonstrates the dynamic nature of scientific research when it is applied to real-world issues. By acquiring a more thorough comprehension of soliton waves, researchers may make progress in these fields and investigate novel applications.
Exact solutions are of significant importance in the investigation of physical behaviors in a variety of physical systems, as they provide a foundation for subsequent research and investigations. Characterizing the behaviors of any physical system as an ordinary differential equation (ODE) or PDE is the only feasible way of obtaining an exact solution. The preponderance of natural or industrial complex phenomena can be modeled using NLPDEs or FNLPDEs. In order to achieve analytic solutions to these issues, different methodologies and strategies have been developed by a number of academicians, such that, truncated Painlevé approach9, Master stability function10, improved F-expansion function method11, Lie symmetry technique12, simplest equation technique13, networking of higher of higher order systems14, iterative transform method15, Intelligent Detection Method16, Hirota bilinear method17, Lie classical approach12, Adomian decomposition technique18, bifurcation analysis19,
Consequently, the model in concern has not been investigated using the proposed methodology, despite a comprehensive examination of the existing literature. Therefore, the current study aims to make use of this analytical methodology to clarify the complex dynamics that are inherent in the generalized nonlinear Pochhammer–Chree (PC) equation. Pochhammer34 and Chree35 simultaneously deduced the equation of motion in cylindrical coordinates to characterize the propagation of a sinusoidal wave with frequency f through an infinitely long homogeneous, isotropic cylinder with a uniform cross-section. Inspired by the work of Pochhammer and Chree, a frequency equation was formulated and introduced by Love36 and numerical solution presented by Bancroft37. This study aims to improve the understanding of these intricacies and contribute to advances in the field of analysis of complex phenomena by implementing the proposed method. Here, our main goal is to study various soliton solutions of the fractional PC equation by applying an integration method called the modified generalized exponential rational function method (mGERFM)38. Furthermore, the applied method is well suited for nonlinear complex models, as it enable obtaining results in a simple and straightforward manner and is capable of generating a variety of new results and providing guidance for organizing them.
The article is structured as follows: Section “Fractional order derivative” covers the fundamental definitions and some of the most significant properties of fractional derivative. Section “The governing equation” provides the governing generalized nonlinear PC equation, while Section “Extraction of solutions for
Fractional order derivative
Fractional differential equation are equations where the derivatives have fractional orders instead of integer orders. Soliton’s theory presents a multitude of fractional, nonlinear challenges. Researchers use fractional calculus and the development of innovative operators, such as Atangana Baleanu derivative39, Riemann-Liouville derivative40, and Caputo derivative41, to solve some of the most important contemporary problems. The fractional models exhibit superior precision and accuracy in comparison to their integer-order counterparts, closely matching the experimental data. The fractional form facilitates the implementation of sophisticated optimization and control strategies that enhance the overall performance of a system.

Discussion and concluding remarks
The PC equation, a mathematical framework for modeling nonlinear longitudinal wave propagation in elastic media, is widely applicable in various fields of physics and engineering. In particular, the equations include nonlinear effects associated with scenarios involving high-amplitude wave motion. Researchers have extensively employed the PC equation to investigate a wide range of real-world phenomena. Examples of these phenomena include transverse vibrations in structures, large-amplitude seismic wave propagation, nonlinear acoustics in pipes, tubes, and granular materials, as well as solitons and solitary wave dynamics. The PC equation’s versatility in encapsulating wave motion in elastic medium is demonstrated in biomechanics and biofluids, revealing its nonlinear physics of wave motion.

New research enhances understanding of solitary waves governed by PC equations, revealing unexpected changes that were previously unnoticed. This broadens the spectrum of known solutions and enriches the theoretical foundation of wave physics.
