1. Introduction
Partial differential equations (PDEs) particularly their nonlinear regimes are applied to model a wide variety of phenomena in the extensive areas of science and engineering. As useful tools for simulating many nonlinear phenomena, such models play a pivotal role in progressing the real world. During the past few decades, one of the major goals has been the construction of novel approaches to extract solitons for PDEs. In the last years, several well-organized methods have been proposed to derive solitons of PDEs, the hyperbolic function method [1–4], the modified Jacobi methods [5–8], the Kudryashov method [9–14], and the exponential method [15–20], are samples to point out.
It is noteworthy that all conservation laws of PDEs do not include physical meanings, however, such laws are essential to explore the integrability and reduction of PDEs [21, 22]. Conservation laws of PDEs can be found by using a wide range of methods such as the multiplier approach, the Noether approach, the new conservation theorem, and so on. Of these, the new conservation theorem was first established by Ibragimov and is associated with the formal Lagrangian, Lie symmetries, and adjoint equations of PDEs. Conservation laws can be derived for every symmetry of PDEs and the obtained conservation laws are referred to as trivial or non-trivial [23–29].
In the present study, the authors deal with the following Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation [30]
and derive its conservation laws and kink solitons. As is clear from the name of equation (1), such a model consists of the Sharma–Tasso–Olver and Burgers equations. These equations have been the main concern of a lot of research works. Or-Roshid and Rashidi [31] employed an exponential method to derive the solitons of these equations. In another investigation, multiple solitons of these equations were obtained by Wazwaz in [32] through the simplified Hirota’s method. Very recently, Hu et al [33] constructed soliton, lump, and interaction solutions of a 2D-STOBE using a series of systematic ansatzes.
Kudryashov and exponential methods, as privileged approaches, have been applied by many scholars to retrieve solitons of PDEs. Particularly, the effectiveness of these methods has been demonstrated by Hosseini et al in several papers. Hosseini et al [34] derived solitons of the cubic-quartic nonlinear Schrödinger equation using the Kudryashov method. The exponential method was utilized in [35] by Hosseini et al to acquire solitons of the unstable nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
The rest of the current study is as follows: In section 2, the conservation theorem and the foundation of Kudryashov and exponential methods are given. In section 3, the formal Lagrangian, Lie symmetries, and adjoint equations of the STOBE are established to derive its conservation laws. In section 4, Kudryashov and exponential methods are adopted to seek solitons of the STOBE. Section 4 further gives diverse graphs in 2 and 3D postures to demonstrate the dynamical features of kink solitons. The achievements of the present paper are provided in section 5.
2. The conservation theorem and methods
In the current section, the conservation theorem and the foundation of Kudryashov and exponential methods are formally given.
where ${\xi }^{x}\left(x,t,u\right),$ ${\xi }^{t}\left(x,t,u\right),$ and $\eta \left(x,t,u\right)$ are known as the infinitesimals. The kth prolongation of equation (3) is retrieved by
where $\tfrac{\delta }{\delta u}$ is the variational derivative.
If the solution of equation (4) is found, then, a finite number of conservation laws for equation (2) are derived.
Every Lie point, Lie-Bäcklund, and nonlocal symmetry of equation (2) results in a conservation law. The components of the conserved vector are given by [29]
where $W=\eta -{\xi }^{j}{u}_{j},$ and ${\xi }^{i}\,$ and $\eta $ are the infinitesimal functions. The conserved vectors generated by equation (5) consist of the arbitrary solutions of the adjoint equation. Consequently, one derives a finite number of conservation laws for equation (2) by $w$ [36].
Derived conserved vectors using (5) are conservation laws of equation (2) if
where the unknowns are acquired later and $N\in {{\mathbb{Z}}}^{+}.$
Again, equations (7) and (8) together yield a nonlinear system which by solving it, solitons of equation (7) are obtained.
3. The STOBE and its conservation laws
In the present section, the conservation theorem is applied to the STOBE to derive its conservation laws. First, the formal Lagrangian is derived in the following form
If $u$ is replaced by $w$ in equation (10), then, equation (1) is not obtained. Thus, equation (1) is not self-adjoint. In such a case, one can say that $w=1$ is a solution of equation (10).
A one-parameter Lie group for equation (1) is given by
The commutator table for the above symmetries (see equation (11)) has been given in table 1.

Now, conservation laws of the STOBE for all founded Lie point symmetry generators are derived. Conservation laws formulae for equation (1) are as follows
Due to the satisfaction of the divergence condition, these conservation laws are called local conservation laws. Such conservation laws are infinite trivial conservation laws. In this case, we have
Owing to the satisfaction of the divergence condition, these conservation laws are called local conservation laws. Such conservation laws are infinite trivial conservation laws. In this case, we have
Due to the satisfaction of the divergence condition, these conservation laws are called local conservation laws. Such conservation laws are infinite trivial conservation laws.
Such conserved vectors satisfy the divergence condition, so, they are trivial conservation laws.
4. The STOBE and its solitons
In the present section, Kudryashov and exponential methods are adopted to seek solitons of the STOBE. The present section further gives diverse graphs in 2 and 3D postures to demonstrate the dynamical features of kink solitons. To start, we establish a transformation as follows
From $\tfrac{{{\rm{d}}}^{3}U\left({\epsilon }\right)}{{\rm{d}}{{\epsilon }}^{3}}$ and ${U}^{2}\left({\epsilon }\right)\tfrac{{\rm{d}}U\left({\epsilon }\right)}{{\rm{d}}{\epsilon }}$ in equation (17), one can get [10]
$N+3=3N+1\Rightarrow N=1.$

Equation (6) and $N=1$ offer taking the following solution
Figure 2 gives the dynamical features of the kink soliton ${u}_{2}\left(x,t\right)$ for ${a}_{1}=-1,$ ${b}_{0}=1,$ ${b}_{2}=1,$ ${c}_{1}=0.15,$ ${c}_{2}=0.15,$ and $a=2.7.$ Furthermore, the physical behaviors of ${u}_{2}^{{\rm{K}}{\rm{M}}}$ and ${u}_{2}^{{\rm{E}}{\rm{M}}}$ for above parameters have been given in figure 3 when $t=0.$
According to the authors’ knowledge, the outcomes of the current investigation are new and have been listed for the first time.

5. Conclusion
The principal aim of the current paper was to explore a newly well-established model known as the Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation and derive its conservation laws and kink solitons. The study proceeded systematically by constructing the formal Lagrangian, Lie symmetries, and adjoint equations of STOBE to acquire its conservation laws. Besides, kink solitons of the STOBE were formally established using Kudryashov and exponential methods. Various plots in 2 and 3D postures were graphically represented to observe the dynamical characteristics of kink solitons. Based on information from the authors, the outcomes of the current investigation are new and have been listed for the first time. The authors’ suggestion for future works is employing newly well-organized methods [38–44] to acquire other wave structures of STOBE.
