In this paper, our aim is to compute exact solutions for the generalized (3+1)-dimensional KadomtsevPetviashvili Benjamin-Bona–Mahony (gnKP-BBM) equation by invoking an effective method, namely the Lie symmetry technique. Firstly, we derive the infinitesimals and write down the Lie symmetries. Using these symmetries the gnKP-BBM equation is reduced to various nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NLODEs). Thereafter, solutions of the NLODEs are derived by using the Jacobi elliptic cosine method, the (G 0 /G)-expansion method, the simplest equation technique and Kudryashov’s method. Conclusively, we derive conservation laws of the gnKP-BBM equation by using the Ibragimov’s method.
