In the present paper, exact solutions of fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equations have been derived by using two methods: Lie group analysis and invariant subspace method via Riemann‐Liouvill derivative. In the sense of Lie point symmetry analysis method, all of the symmetries of the Schrödinger equations are obtained, and these operators are applied to find corresponding solutions. In one case, we show that Schrödinger equation can be reduced to an equation that is related to the Erdelyi‐Kober functional derivative. The invariant subspace method for constructing exact solutions is presented for considered equations.
