The objective of this paper is to examine the analytical properties of the nonlinear [Formula: see text]-dimensional Camassa–Holm equation ([Formula: see text]), a fundamental model within the domain of nonlinear evolution equations. The aforementioned equation serves as a valuable tool in elucidating the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves over a level terrain, as well as in representing certain nonlinear wave phenomena seen in cylindrical hyperelastic rods. We use the Khater III ([Formula: see text]hat.III) and improved Kudryashov ([Formula: see text]ud) technique to provide accurate solutions, drawing inspiration from the intricate mathematical framework of the [Formula: see text] issue. He’s variational iteration ([Formula: see text]) technique is used as a numerical methodology to assess the correctness of the generated answers. This strategy reveals a notable concurrence between the analytical and numerical outcomes. This alignment guarantees the suitability of the acquired solutions within the framework of the studied model. The importance of this investigation lies in its ability to improve our comprehension of the intricate dynamics regulated by the [Formula: see text] equation and its connections with other nonlinear evolution equations that describe shallow water wave behaviors and nonlinear wave propagation in cylindrical hyperelastic rods. The results of the study demonstrate novel analytical approaches, expanding the range of potential solutions and offering valuable insights into the physical characteristics of the interconnected wave phenomena. This research offers valuable insights and methodologies for addressing intricate mathematical models in shallow water wave theory and studying nonlinear waves in hyperelastic materials, therefore making substantial advances to the subject of nonlinear partial differential equations.
