Abstract

 In this study, new families of analytical exact solutions of the space fractional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation are presented. Here, the fractional derivative is considered in conformable sense. By utilizing the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method, the solutions are obtained in general form containing the hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational functions. Also, the complex valued solutions are obtained and some solutions of this equation are demonstrated. 

Keywords

Jacobi elliptic function, fractional differential equation
