The exact solutions of the new generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (ngKP) equation by using the modified extended tanh-function method, the improved (G′/G) method and the generalized Riccati equation mapping method are considered. Different types of exact traveling wave solutions are obtained, enriching the exact solutions of this equation. In addition, the dynamical behaviors of the different types of solutions obtained by the equation are graphically presented using 3D, 2D and density plots. Then, the phase portraits of the equations are obtained through the bifurcation theory to verify the validity of the previous three methods. Finally, the comparison between our results and the known results is given, it can be concluded that we have provided a large number of new travelling wave solutions to the equation.
