Introduction</title><p>Some famous nonlinear fractional wave equations, such as the fractional Klein-Gordon equation, Landau-Ginzburg-Higgs equation, the fractional φ 4 equation, the fractional Duffing equation and the fractional Sine-Gordon equation, can be summarized as the fractional generalized reaction Duffing model. A lot of authors have done a lot of research on the exact solutions of this equation. By using the new ansatz method, the solitary wave solutions and periodic solutions of gRDM were obtained in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref1">1</xref>]. Furthermore, the exact soliton solutions of gRDM have been obtained by using the generalized hyperbolic function method, the B&#228;cklund transformation obtained by the homogeneous balance method, the first integration method of the fractional derivative in the sense of the improved Riemann-Liouville derivative, and the compatible fractional complex transformation method, respectively in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref2">2</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref5">5</xref>]. Based on an extended first-type elliptic sub-equation method and its algorithm, the new bell-shaped and kink-shaped solitary wave solutions, triangular periodic wave solutions and singular solutions of gRDM were solved in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref6">6</xref>].

Definition and Properties of the Fractional Derivative</title><p>The idea of fractional derivatives originated from the semi-derivative discussed by Leibniz and Lopida in 1695. Subsequently, many authors studied fractional derivatives and formed several different definitions, such as Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and other fractional derivatives. In this section, we introduce the common fractional derivatives proposed by Khalil et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.118809-ref21">21</xref>]. Let f : ( 0, + ∞ ) → R . Then, the conformal fractional derivative of f of order α is defined as</p><p>D t α f ( t ) = l i m ε → 0 f ( t + ε t 1 − α ) − f ( t ) ε , (2)</p><p>for all t &gt; 0 , α ∈ ( 0,1 ] . And the conformal fractional derivative has the following properties. Let α ∈ ( 0,1 ] , and f , g be α -differentiable at a point t &gt; 0 . Then</p><p>D t α t s = s t s − α , s ∈ R , D t α [ f ( t ) g ( t ) ] = g ( t ) D t α f ( t ) + f ( t ) D t α g ( t ) .
