“…Ma and Lee et al [9] investigated a 3 + 1 dimensional Jimbo-Miwa equation via a transformed rational function method and obtained exact solutions. Other methods, such as Bäcklund transformation [10,11], Darboux transformation [12,13], Hirota bilinear method [14], the inverse scattering transform, the variable separation method [15], the sine-cosine method, the tanh-function method [16], the auxiliary equation method [17], the trial function method [18], etc., were also employed. Based on these methods, a variety of nonlinear equations have been investigated and solved.…”
