Analytical solutions of the extended Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in nonlinear media

Abstract This manuscript attempts to construct diverse exact traveling wave solutions for an important model called the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. In order to achieve that, the Jacobi elliptic function technique and the Kudryashov technique are chosen in favor of their noticeable efficacy in dealing with nonlinear dynamical models. As expected, the used approaches lead to a variety of traveling wave solutions of different types. Finally, we have graphically illustrated some of the obtained wave solutions to further make sense of their representation. Also, we provide an overview of the main results at the end.
