Abstract
This paper focuses on the numerical investigation of the fractal modification of the (3+1)-dimensional potential-Yu–Toda–Sasa–Fukuyama (YTSF) equation. A variational approach based on the two-scale fractal complex transformation and the variational principle is presented for solving this fractal equation. The fractal potential-YTSF equation can be transformed as the original potential-YTSF equation by means of the fractal complex transformation. Some fractal soliton-type solutions and fractal periodic wave solutions are provided by using the variational principle proposed by He, which are not touched in the existing literature. Some remarks about the variational formulation and the wave solutions for the original potential-YTSF equation by Manafian et al. [East Asian J. Appl. Math. 10(3) (2020) 549–565] are also given. Numerical results of the fractal wave solutions with different fractal dimensions and amplitudes are presented to show the propagation behavior.
