This study reveals the dark, bright, combined dark–bright, singular, combined singular optical solitons and singular periodic solutions to the conformable space–time fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. We reach such solutions via the powerful extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method (ShGEEM). Constraint conditions that guarantee the existence of valid solitary wave solutions are given. Under suitable choice of the parameter values, interesting three-dimensional graphs of some of the obtained solutions are plotted.

The purpose of this study is to find some novel soliton solutions of Fokas–Lenells (FL) equation where the perturbation terms are taken into account with nonlinearity. The sine-Gordon expansion method (SGEM) and the $(m + (G'/G))$-expansion method are used in this context. The dark, bright, dark–bright and singular optical soliton solutions are successfully obtained. Moreover, the constraint conditions for guaranteeing the existence of solutions are also given.

In this work, our goal is to find more general exact travelling wave solutions of the (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear chiral Schrödinger equation with conformable derivative by using a newly developed analytical method. The governing model has a very important role in quantum mechanics, especially in the field of quantum Hall effect where chiral excitations are present. In two-dimensional electron systems, subjected to strong magnetic fields and low temperatures, the quantum Hall effect can be observed. By using the method, called the rational sine-Gordon expansion method which is a generalised form of the sine-Gordon expansion method, we found complex dark and bright solitary wave solutions. These solutions have important applications in the quantum Hall effect.
