Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) have sparked confusion and concern regarding their impact on education. Beyond the assessment integrity risks that currently draw the most attention, technologies such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini have also been identified as tools that can support learning. Project work, especially when there is no single correct solution, provides a great opportunity for integration, fostering technology knowledge and higher learning standards. However, no AI-integration framework for project-based work is available, resulting in a limited understanding of how AI integration can occur or be maximized. To address this, a collaborative effort of 16 educators from 9 Australian universities has led to the development of a generic AI implementation framework, built upon the CDIO approach. With a focus on engineering education, this framework can be adapted to other project-based learning contexts, where educators can pick and choose the relevant implementation items as needed. This framework is called the Project-work Artificial Intelligence Integration Framework (PAIIF), and its development and structure are outlined here. Initial implementations have shown the effectiveness of promoting reflection and guidance on where and how AI integration can occur.

In recent times, academics have been increasingly interested in finding analytical solutions to some nonlinear partial differential equations that describe and model various physical and engineering problems, including fluid dynamics, plasma astrophysics, ocean engineering, and nonlinear optics [1,2,3,4,5,6]. These equations function as mathematical representations that encapsulate the complexities of intricate physical occurrences. These models have broad applications in various nonlinear scientific fields such as fluid mechanics, biology, chemistry, physics, plasmas, and optical fibers. Their applicability highlights their relevance in explaining and forecasting the behavior of complex systems across various scientific fields. To better understand the dynamics of these real-world components, methods for solving fractional nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) must be investigated [7,8,9,10,11]. This exploration is necessary to study and understand the complex behaviors inherent in the systems above. Solutions to nonlinear fractional PDEs (FPDEs) are of academic interest because of the increased detail and generality they provide, as they outperform traditional solutions in terms of descriptive power. In addition to improving our understanding and predictive capabilities in these vital areas of nonlinear physics, this study has implications for a wide range of real-world applications because it clarifies nonlinear aspects. Researchers in the field of nonlinear physics have significantly contributed to our knowledge of complex processes in various other scientific fields [12,13,14,15,16].
The investigation of analytical solutions for FPDEs is intrinsically tricky, and it has led to the creation of many mathematical strategies to address this complex issue. Because analytical solutions can offer a comprehensive understanding of fundamental physical processes and show the precise behavior of the modeled system beyond what can be achieved by using numerical approaches, analysts are particularly drawn to them. Consequently, pursuing analytical solutions for FPDEs is recognized as a crucial and continuously developing field of study [17,18,19]. Various mathematical techniques have been employed in scholarly literature to solve different types of FPDEs efficiently and analytically [20,21,22,23,24]. This demonstrates the extensive scope of research in this field. Numerous strategies have been employed, showing the diversity of approaches that researchers in this discipline have chosen [25,26,27]. Among the approaches under consideration, several techniques [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36] have emerged as noteworthy contributors. Every approach has unique benefits, broadening the toolkit of techniques that can be used to solve FPDEs and improving our understanding of these complex mathematical models [37,38].
Furthermore, integrated into the structure of the suggested methodology, the Riccati-Bernoulli sub-optimal differential equation (ODE) method [39,40,41] is a powerful tool. It is well known for its adept management of complex algebraic calculations and ability to derive solutions for a wide range of phenomena that occur in applications such as biology, chemistry, physics, fluid mechanics, and optical fibers. This methodology has significant potential for use in several scientific and engineering fields. Its application in the fields of biological systems, industrial operations, and environmental flows can facilitate a deep understanding of the complexities of fluid behavior, thereby improving optimization and forecasting methods. The FPDEs are transformed into an algebraic system by using the Bäcklund transformation and the Riccati-Bernoulli equation, simplifying the extraction of important information from the intricate dynamics present in these systems. This method greatly enhances our understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms. The methodology is particularly noteworthy because it guarantees the derivation of finite solutions, thereby validating the precision and effectiveness of solutions for the equations under examination. A critical feature of this approach is its potential to produce a wide range of single-wave solutions, increasing its adaptability and usefulness.
Moreover, the current study was designed to utilize an analytical approach to clarify the complex dynamics of the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm (DGH) equation [42]. This study also looks at how linear dispersion parameters change the shape of traveling waves that are connected to the DGH equation and the isospectral features of soliton solutions. It should be mentioned here that the DGH equation was derived from asymptotic expansions applied directly to the Hamiltonian driving Euler equations, and it was first developed as a model for unidirectional shallow water waves over a flat bottom
Ft+λFx+3FFx−μ2(Fxxt+FFxxx+2FxFxx)+χFxxx=0. | (1.1) |
The DGH equation is linked to two distinct soliton equations that govern water waves and can be integrated independently. The DGH equation (1.1) specifically can be reduced to the well-known Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for (μ=0) and (χ≠0): Ft+λFx+3FFx+χFxxx=0. In contrast, the DGH equation (1.1) can be reduced to the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation for (μ=1) and (χ=0): Ft+λFx+3FFx−(Fxxt+FFxxx+2FxFxx)=0. This two-way connection shows how the DGH equation can be used to describe different wave events and how it can be used to combine the dynamics given by the KdV and CH equations in certain parameter situations. Numerous studies have been carried out to clarify the DGH equation of integer order. Dullin et al. [43] revealed another integrable instance in the DGH formula. A thorough treatment of the Cauchy problem related to the DGH equation was conducted in a different study [44]. Tang and Yang [45] extended the peakon equations by introducing an integral constant and using the dynamical systems bifurcation approach. Chen et al. [46] used the Darboux transformation technique to produce numerous soliton solutions. Zhang et al. [47] focused on peakons and periodic cusp wave solutions for a generalized CH equation by using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems. Liu [48] explored questions about the creation of singularities and the existence of global solutions. Under the condition that μ2<0, Dullin et al. [49] showed that there are three different kinds of limited waves for the DGH equation. These different studies contribute to the development of a more thorough knowledge of the complex dynamics of the DGH equation for various parameter values. Regarding tasks that involve obtaining a precise description of complex nonlinear systems in a variety of scientific fields, such as fluid dynamics and oceanography, nonlinear dynamics and soliton theory, mathematical physics, numerical simulations, computational mathematics, and engineering, the fractional DGH equation is considered to be an essential tool to describe systems that display complex structures and subtle nonlinearities. The fractional DGH equation has the following mathematical expression:
(Dαt(F))+λDβx(F)+3FDβx(F)−μ2(Dαt(D2βx(F))+FD3βx(F)+2Dβx(F)D2βx(F))+χD3βx(F)=0, | (1.2) |
with 0<α,β,≤1, where α and β indicate the time- and space-fractional parameters, respectively.
The height of the free surface over a flat bottom is represented by the function F(x,t), and the coefficient (χ) indicates the linear dispersive parameter and the linear wave speed for undisturbed water at rest at spatial infinity is represented by (λ=2ω=√gh). Here, (g) indicates the gravitational constant, (h) denotes the mean fluid depth, and (ω) represents the essential shallow water speed for undisturbed water at rest at spatial infinity. The Greek symbol (μ2) represents square length scales. The operator representing the order α derivatives adheres to the definition provided in [50]:
Dαθq(θ)=limm→0q(m(θ)1−α−q(θ))m,0<α≤1. | (1.3) |
This inquiry utilizes the following characteristics of this derivative:
{Dαθ(j1η(θ)±j2m(θ))=j1Dαθ(η(θ))±j2Dαθ(m(θ)),Dαθχ[ξτ(θ)]=χ′ξ(ξ(θ))Dαθξ(θ). | (1.4) |
Hence, the primary motivation and goal of this investigation is to use the Riccati-Bernoulli sub-ODE method with the help of the Bäcklund transformation in order to analyze and solve the fractional DGH equation, as this method has not been used before to analyze this equation. We study how linear dispersion factors affect the shape of traveling waves in the DGH equation and look into the isospectral properties of soliton solutions. Through these analyses, our research advances knowledge by revealing new perspectives on the fundamental mechanisms underlying complicated occurrences, thus positioning itself as a ground-breaking undertaking in the scientific debate.
A meticulous and systematic approach has been adopted to structure the manuscript. A detailed exposition of the methods employed in Section 2 serves to elucidate the intricacy of the approach. Section 3 meticulously outlines the process of problem execution by using the described methodology. Section 4 offers a comprehensive discussion and synthesis of the results. Finally, Section 5 provides a succinct summary of the study's definitive findings and their broad implications.
The FPDE described herein warrants consideration:
P1(f,Dαt(f),Dβζ1(f),D2βζ2(f),fDβζ1(f),…)=0,0<α,β,≤1. | (2.1) |
The polynomial P1 is a function of f(ζ1,ζ2,ζ3,......,t). This polynomial includes the fractional order derivatives as well as the nonlinear terms. The fundamental phases of this approach are then comprehensively addressed. The subsequent wave transformations are our recommendations for investigating potential solutions for Eq (1.2):
F(x,t)=eiψf(ψ), | (2.2) |
with
ψ(x,t)=(xββ)−κ(tαα). | (2.3) |
The function ψ≡ψ(x,t) represents the transformation of propagating waves. The non-zero constant (κ) gives the traveling wave dynamics distinctive properties. Equation (1.2) undergoes a change that results in the construction of a nonlinear optimal differential equation; as a result, a modified mathematical expression is assumed. This modification represents an intrinsic change in the equation's structure, going from its original form to a nonlinear form. This change brings new dynamics and behaviors; hence, a better mathematical model is required
P2(f,f′(ψ),f′′(ψ),ff′(ψ),…)=0. | (2.4) |
Consider the formal solution for Eq (2.4)
f(ψ)=N∑i=−Nbiφ(ψ)i. | (2.5) |
Under the restriction that both bN≠0 and b−N≠0 simultaneously, the bi constants must be determined. Concurrently, the function is generated via the following Bäcklund transformation
φ(ψ)=−τB+Aϕ(ψ)A+Bϕ(ψ). | (2.6) |
With the requirement that B≠0, let (τ), (A), and (B) be constants. Furthermore, suppose that ϕ(ψ) is a function that has the following definition:
dϕdψ=τ+ϕ(ψ)2. | (2.7) |
It is commonly acknowledged that the following formulas indicate the solutions to Eq (2.7) [51]:
(i)Ifτ<0,thenϕ(ψ)=−√−τtanh(√−τψ),orϕ(ψ)=−√−τcoth(√−τψ). | (2.8) |
(ii)Ifτ>0,thenϕ(ψ)=√τtan(√τψ),orϕ(ψ)=−√τcot(√τψ). | (2.9) |
(iii)Ifτ=0,thenϕ(ψ)=−1ψ. | (2.10) |
Under the framework of Eq (2.5), the positive integer (N) can be determined by using homogeneous balancing principles, which entail finding an equilibrium between the highest-order derivatives and the highest nonlinearity in Eq (2.4). Here, the f(ψ) degree can be expressed more precisely as D[f(ψ)]=N. Therefore, this enables us to perform the following computation of the degree of linked expressions:
D[dkfdψk]=N+k & D[fJdkfdψk]s=NJ+s(k+N). | (2.11) |
Algebraic equations are established by combining Eq (2.4) with Eqs (2.5) and (2.7), grouping terms with the same powers of f(ψ), and then equating them to zero. Applying Maple software to deduce the pertinent values for various parameters will result in an efficient resolution of this system. Thus, this makes it easier to compute the soliton wave-propagating solutions to Eq (1.2) with accuracy by performing computational analysis.
By employing the methodology outlined in Section 2, we systematically resolve the fractional DGH equation (1.2), focusing on obtaining solutions that include a single wave. Equation (2.3), which characterizes the wave transformation, is employed to streamline our investigation within the framework of the fractional DGH equation. Subsequently, we give the resulting equation i.e, an inferred nonlinear ODE, which describes the nonlinear dynamics after this transformation. This new formula is a concise formulation of the original FPDE and marks a significant step forward in comprehending the underlying dynamics in the fractional DGH framework
−κf′+λf′+3(f′f)−μ2[−κf′′′+f′′′f+2f′f′′]+χf′′′=0, | (3.1) |
which is equivalent to
f′(λ−κ)+3ff′+μ2κf′′′−μ2ff′′′−2μ2f′f′′+χf′′′=0. | (3.2) |
Integrating Eq (3.2) once over ψ, with zero constantss of integration, we obtain
f(λ−κ)+32f2+μ2κf′′−μ2ff′′+μ22(f′)2−μ2(f′)2+χf′′=0. | (3.3) |
Re-arranging Eq (3.3), we get
(μ2f−κμ2−χ)f′′+12μ2(f′)2−(λ−κ)f−32f2=0. | (3.4) |
Finding the point of homogeneous equilibrium (N=2) entails striking a harmonious balance between the highest nonlinearity and the highest-order derivatives in the given equation: 2N=N+2⟼N=2. Now incorporate the substitution from Eq (2.5) along with Eqs (2.6) and (2.7) into Eq (3.4). We systematically gather coefficients for ϕi(ψ), resulting in an algebraic system of equations with a zero value. With the help of Maple's computing capacity, we can solve this system of algebraic equations and obtain the following solutions. This approach guarantees an organized and effective extraction of solutions, providing insightful information about the interactions between variables within the given mathematical framework
b0=−12λμ2+χμ2,b1=√2√−λ(λμ2+χ),τ=12μ2,κ=−14λμ2+3χμ2, | (3.5) |
The other parameters are as follows: b−1=b−2=b2=0 and B=B. Accordingly, the value of ψ given in Eq (2.3) is given by
ψ=xββ+14(λμ2+3χ)tαμ2α. | (3.6) |
Solution Set 1: For τ<0, the following solutions for Eq (1.2) are obtained
F1(x,t)=−12(λμ2+χ)eiψ μ2+√2√−λ(λμ2+χ)eiψ[−12Bμ2−12A√−2μ2tanh(12√−2μ2ψ)][A−12B√−2μ2tanh(12√−2μ−2ψ)], | (3.7) |
or
F2(x,t)=−12(λμ2+χ)eiψ μ2+√2√−λ(λμ2+χ)eiψ[−12Bμ2−12A√−2μ2coth(12√−2μ2ψ)][A−12B√−2μ2coth(12√−2μ2ψ)]. | (3.8) |
Solution Set 2: For τ>0, the following solutions for Eq (1.2) are obtained
F3(x,t)=−12(λμ2+χ)eiψ μ2+√2√−λ(λμ2+χ)eiψ[−12Bμ2+12A√2μ2tan(12√2μ2ψ)][A+12B√2μ2tan(12√2μ2ψ)] | (3.9) |
or
F4(x,t)=−12(λμ2+χ)eiψ μ2+√2√−λ(λμ2+χ)eiψ[−12Bμ2−12A√2μ2cot(12√2μ2ψ)][A−12B√2μ2cot(12√2μ2ψ)]. | (3.10) |
Solution Set 3: For τ=0, the following solutions for Eq (1.2) are obtained
F5(x,t)=−12(λμ2+χ)eiψ μ2+√2√−λ(λμ2+χ)eiψ(−12Bμ2−Aψ)(A−Bψ). | (3.11) |
This study offers a useful instrument for researchers interested in exploring the intriguing applications of the fractional DGH equation, as it is a mathematical model that characterizes the propagation of waves in shallow water. The Riccati-Bernoulli sub-ODE method was used in this study to look at wave structure solutions for the nonlinear fractional DGH problem. By exploring their underlying nonlinear physics, this research offers valuable insights into the behavior of complex systems and illuminates phenomena that have remained incompletely understood thus far. Figures 1–10 visually represent some derived solutions, utilizing 3D and 2D graphics to emphasize the parameter choices for the fractional DGH model. Furthermore, utilizing 2D plots facilitates the modeling and deptiction of analytical physical phenomena.
We analyzed all of the derived solutions graphically, as shown in Figures 1–10, by using some random values for the associated parameters and coefficients of the equation. The absolute value of the solution given by Eq (3.7) was examined as elucidated in Figures 1 and 2, which was evaluated against the space- and time-fractional parameters β and α, respectively. As shown in Figure 1, increasing the space-fractional parameter turns the shock wave into a quasi-peakon wave. The impact of the time-fractional parameter on the characteristics of the quasi-peakon wave is illustrated in Figure 2. Furthermore, an investigation was conducted to examine the impact of space- and time fractional parameters β and α on the profile of the solution given by Eq (3.8), as depicted in Figures 3 and 4, respectively. Based on the data presented in Figure 3, it can be observed that for α=1, when the space-fractional parameter β is altered, the solution's form remains consistent with the shock wave's shape. However, as β increases, the shock wave amplitude decreases. Figure 4 further illustrates the impact of the time-fractional parameter α on the visual representation of the solution given by Eq (3.8), which exhibits characteristics akin to a peakon waveform. The solutions given by Eqs(3.9) and (3.10) for the case that τ>0 are also examined, as depicted in Figures 5–8. Figures 5 and 6 display the shock-like solution given by Eq (3.9) against both the space- and time-fractional parameters β and α, respectively. Additionally, we analyzed the influence of both the space- and time-fractional parameters β and α on the characteristics of the solution given by Eq (3.10), as depicted in Figures 7 and 8, correspondingly. Ultimately, we conducted a graphical analysis of the quasi-peakon wave solution given by Eq (3.11) and examined the impact of both the space- and time-fractional parameters β and α on its behavior, as depicted in Figures 9 and 10, respectively.
The fractional DGH equation has been analytically solved by using the Riccati-Bernoulli sub-optimal differential equation method together with the Bäcklund transformation. We correctly obtained several travelling wave solutions in the form of hyperbolic, periodic, and rational solutions by applying the given norm; yielding a hierarchy of traveling wave solutions, including the quasi-peakon wave, shock-like wave, compacton-like wave, and other periodic waves. The resultant solutions were subjected to numerical analysis, wherein some random values were assigned to the related coefficients and parameters. The effects of both space- and time-fractional parameters on the properties and behavior of all derived solutions was also examined. It has been found that the behavior of the derived solutions is significantly influenced by changing the values of both the space- and time-fractional parameters. By altering these parameters we found that, they not only affect the amplitude and width of the waves described by these solutions they also impact the transition between the waves. This finding represents a crucial outcome of our research. The obtained results demonstrate that the employed techniques are a direct and effective strategy for addressing highly complicated and strong nonlinear evolution/wave equations. They yield a substantial number of analytical solutions, which can help many researchers interpret their distinct results.
It is essential to acknowledge that the numerical analysis of the acquired results and the graphical representation of the derived solutions were conducted by using Wolfram MATHEMATICA 13.2.
Future work: The results indicate that the current technique offers many analytical solutions, allowing researchers to utilize this approach to simulate various physical and engineering problems. Thus, this approach is expected to efficiently examine and simulate a range of evolution/wave equations that describe various nonlinear phenomena in different plasma models. One example of its use is the analysis of the space-time fractional KdV-type equations [52,53] and the space-time fractional Kawahara-type equations [54,55,56], which allows for an examination of the impact of fractional parameters on the generated solutions' profiles. Therefore, it is possible to study the effects of fractional coefficients on the behavior of the nonlinear structures described by these families of KdV-type and Kawahara-type equations, such as solitary waves, shock waves, cnoidal waves, and periodic waves. Furthermore, this method can be applied to examine nonlinear Schrödinger-type equations to investigate the impact of fractional parameters on the characteristics of envelope-modulated waves, such as bright and dark envelope solitons, rogue waves, and breathers, and modulated cnoidal waves [57,58]. Therefore, this method is expected to have promising, effective, and fertile results in that can help to explain many mysterious nonlinear phenomena that arise and propagate in various plasma models.
