Abstract

In the present paper, a fractional sub-equation method is proposed to solve fractional differential equations. Being concise and straightforward, this method is applied the space–time fractional Potential Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (PKP) equation and the space–time fractional Symmetric Regularized Long Wave (SRLW) equation. As a result, many exact analytical solutions are obtained including hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions, and rational solutions. This method is more powerful and will be used in further works to establish more entirely new solutions for other kinds of nonlinear fractional PDEs arising in mathematical physics.
