“…In order to solve the nonlinear fractional partial differential equations, a general method cannot be defined so far. Also, in recent years, several effective methods have been applied to obtain exact solutions of these equations such as sub-equation method (Alzaidy, 2013;Mohyud-Din, Nawaz, Azhar, & Akbar, 2017;, tanh method , simplest equation method (Taghizadeh, Mirzazadeh, Rahimian, & Akbari, 2013), Jacobi elliptic function expansion method , Kudryashov method (Demiray, Pandir, & Bulut, 2014;Eslami, 2016;Hosseini, Mayeli, & Ansari, 2017;Sonmezoglu, Ekici, Moradi, & Zhou, 2017), trial equation method (Ekici et al, 2016;Odabasi & Misirli, 2015;Pandir, Gurefe, & Misirli, 2013), exp-function method (Bekir, Guner, Aksoy, & Pandir, 2015;Zhang et al, 2010), first integral method (Eslami, Fathi, Mirzazadeh, & Biswas, 2014;Eslami & Rezazadeh, 2016;Younis, 2013), (G 0 /G)-expansion method (Ray & Sahoo, 2017), modification of the truncated expansion method (Mirzazadeh & Eslami, 2013), functional variable method (Bekir, Guner, Bhrawy, & Biswas, 2015), variable separation method (Wang & Dai, 2015;Wang, Zhang, & Dai, 2016), modified tanh-function method , Laplace transform method , homotopy analysis method , ansatz method (Zayed & Al-Nowehy, 2017) and so on (Biswas, Bhrawy, Abdelkawy, Alshaery, & Hilal, 2014;Guner & Eser, 2014;Korkmaz, 2017;Mirzazadeh, 2016;Mirzazadeh & Eslami, 2013;Saqib et al, in press;Sheikh et al, 2016).…”
