In attempting to mathematically create traveling wave solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional integro-differential Jaulent–Miodek equation, the extended rational \(\sinh \) - \(\cosh \) technique and the modified extended \(\tanh \) function approach have been effectively employed in this study. To achieve this, the Jaulent–Miodek model is integrally transformed into a fourth-order nonlinear partial differential equation. Subsequently, the fourth-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the integro-differential Jaulent–Miodek equation was obtained using an appropriate traveling wave transformation. For the under-examination model, several novel exact solitary, singular, and periodic wave solutions are deduced in the interpretations of a mixture of complicated hyperbolic, periodic, trigonometric, and rational functions. To illustrate the physical significance of some of the previously unidentified solutions, two- and three-dimensional figures have been generated with the required arbitrary parameters.
