“…Recently, a wide variety of analytic and approximate solution methods have been developed to construct exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and in particular the Sasa-Satsuma equation, such as extended equation method (ETEM) and generalized Kudryashov method [4], new auxiliary method [15], bilinear forms method [19], the direct integration [22], Darboux transformation method [27,28,35], modified simple equation approach [31], trial equation approach [32], Painlevé -Bäcklund transformation [34] and many others [11,12,26,29,33]. In this work, the conformable time-fractional Sasa-Satsuma equation, which reads…”
