1.Introduction

Different types of phenomena occurring chemically,biologically, economically and others come from nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs).Many different methods have been developed to gain analytical wave solutions of these NLPDEs, i.e., optical soliton solutions of coupled nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations have been gained with use of KudryashovR-function technique,[1]some new kinds of optical soliton solutions of time-fractional perturbed nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations have been achieved by using the generalized Kudryashov scheme,[2]by applying the modified auxiliary equation technique, optical wave solutions of timefractional resonant nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations have been obtained,[3]new optical wave solutions for the time-fractional perturbed nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations have been achieved by utilizing the improved tan[φ(ζ/2)]-expansion scheme,[4]different kinds of optical wave solitons of time-fractional paraxial wave equations have been gained by using the Sardar sub-equation method,[5]various optical wave solutions of three-component coupled nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations have been attained with the help of generalized exponential rational function scheme,[6]dark, bright, singular and periodic solitary wave solutions of generalized fractional Davey–Stewartson equations have been obtained by applying the generalized projective Riccati equation technique,[7]some exact wave solutions of the Lax equation have been achieved by applying the extended sinh-Gordon expansion technique,[8]kink solitons of the Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation have been attained by using Kudryashov and exponential techniques,[9]traveling wave solutions of perturbed Biswas–Milovic equations have been gained with the use of improvedF-expansion technique,[10]some new optical wave solutions of complex Korteweg–de Vries equations have been obtained by applying the unified scheme.[11]Similarly, Hirota bilinear method,[12]modified extended tanh expansion method,[13]modified simplest equation technique,[14]extended Jacobi elliptic function scheme,[15]sech and tanh function solutions are obtained by using the sine-Gordon expansion scheme,[16]sinh,cosh, sin and cos involving solutions are gained by utilizing the rational sine-Gordon expansion technique[17]and many other techniques.[18–24]

In this study, we use two schemes, i.e., the expafunction and extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion(EShGEE)schemes.The general expafunction scheme was first proposed by Ali and Hassan in Ref.[25].Yan firstly proposed the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method in Ref.[26].They are two different techniques used for solving nonlinear partial differential equations.Both the methods are proposed to find the vast categories of exact wave solutions.Many applications are closely related to these two schemes.For example,different types of solitons of two nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations have been attained with the application of expafunction scheme,[27]analytical wave solitons of the modified Camassa–Holm model are gained with the use of this scheme.[28]Some optical solitons of a new Hamiltonian amplitude model have been achieved by applying the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion scheme in Ref.[29].A new type of optical wave solutions of the Biswas–Arshed equation have been gained by using the EShGEE scheme.[30]Different kinds of soliton solutions including dark, bright, dark-bright, singular and other wave solutions of the Kundu–Eckhaus equation have been gained.[31]

We employ the Fitzhugh–Nagumo model that is much more important in biology and electronics.Different techniques have been applied to search the exact wave solutions of this model, e.g., some different types of exact wave solutions of this model have been gained by extended tanh-coth technique in Ref.[32], solitary and periodic wave solutions have been obtained by the exp-function scheme in Ref.[33],a new kind of analytical wave solitons has been achieved by this model with the help of sine-Gordon expansion technique in Ref.[34].

The fundamental purpose of the work is to search the new analytical wave solutions of the spacetime fractional Fitzhugh–Nagumo model via the expafunction and extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion schemes.

The motivation of this paper is to explain the effect ofM-fractional derivative on the solutions of the spacetime fractional Fitzhugh–Nagumo model, which are gained with the use of the expafunction and extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion schemes.Significance ofM-fractional derivative is that it fulfills both the properties of integer and fractional order derivatives.By using the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion scheme, we can obtain the sech, csch, tanh and coth functions involving solutions.Using our schemes,we can observe some elementary relationship between fractional NLPDEs and other simple nonlinear ordinary differential equations.It has been found that with the use of simple schemes and solvable ordinary differential equations, different types of exact wave solutions of some complicated fractional NLPDEs can be easily obtained.The solutions attained are newer than the existing solutions in the literature.The achieved results may behave similarly to biological neurons which can be implementable on digital platforms.

The rest of this paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we describe the model and present its mathematical analysis.In Section 3, we present the methods.In Section 4,we provide exact wave solitons of the model.In Section 5,we illustrate the model with graphics.Section 6, we provide conclusions.

with assistance of the achieved equations,we can gain analytical wave solutions of Eq.(7).

3.2.The EShGEE scheme

There are following main steps in this scheme.

Step 1 Assume a nonlinear fractional partial differential equation

The positive numbermis calculated by utilizing the homogenously balance method.Equation (17) is obtained from the sinh-Gordon equation as

From Ref.[40],we obtain the solutions to Eq.(18)as

here i2=-1.

Step 3 Substituting Eqs.(16) and (20) into Eq.(15), we achieve the equations consisting ofw′k(η)sinhl w(η)coshm w(η) (k= 0,1;l=0,1;m= 0,1,2,...).Substituting each coefficient ofw′k(η)sinhl w(η)coshm w(η) and make it equal to zero, we gain a set ofν,κ,α0,αj,andβj(j=1,2,3,...,m).

Step 4 After solving the achieved set of equations, one can gain the results forν,κ,α0,αj,andβj.

Step 5 From the gained results, i.e., Eqs.(19) and (20),we obtain the analytical wave solutions to Eq.(15)as follows:

Using this technique, we can obtain the sech, csch, tanh and coth functions involving solutions.
