Abstract
In this paper, we explore new applications of the extended \(({\frac{G^{\prime }}{G}})\)-expansion method. We apply this method to the nonlinear Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation of fractional order. As results, some new exact traveling wave solutions are obtained which include solitary wave solutions. The travelling wave solutions are expressed by hyperbolicand trigonometric functions.
