In this study, first, fractional derivative definitions in the literature are examined and their disadvantages are explained in detail. Then, it seems appropriate to apply the (G′G)-expansion method under Atangana’s definition of β-conformable fractional derivative to obtain the exact solutions of the space–time fractional differential equations, which have attracted the attention of many researchers recently. The method is applied to different versions of (n+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations and new exact solutions of these equations depending on the β parameter are acquired. If the parameter values in the new solutions obtained are selected appropriately, 2D and 3D graphs are plotted. Thus, the decay and symmetry properties of solitary wave solutions in a nonlocal shallow water wave model are investigated. It is also shown that all such solitary wave solutions are symmetrical on both sides of the apex. In addition, a close relationship is established between symmetric and propagated wave solutions.
