摘要:In this article, the exact solutions to the potential Yu–Toda–Sasa–Fukuyama equation are successfully examined by the extended complex method and G′/G-expansion method. Consequently, we find solutions for three models of Weierstrass elliptic functions, simply periodic functions, and rational function solutions. The obtained results will play an important role in understanding and studying potential Yu–Toda–Sasa–Fukuyama equation. It is observed that the extended complex method and G′/G-expansion method are reliable and will be used extensively to seek for exact solutions of any other nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs).
