  In this paper, the new mapping approach and the new extended auxiliary equation approach were used to investigate the exact traveling wave solutions of (2 + 1)-dimensional time-fractional Zoomeron equation with the conformable fractional derivative. As a result, the singular soliton solutions, kink and anti-kink soliton solutions, periodic function soliton solutions, Jacobi elliptic function solutions and hyperbolic function solutions of (2 + 1)-dimensional time-fractional Zoomeron equation were obtained. Finally, the 3D and 2D graphs of some solutions were drawn by setting the suitable values of parameters with Maple, and analyze the dynamic behaviors of the solutions.

Conclusion</title><p>In conclusion, (2 + 1)-dimensional time-fractional Zoomeron equation has been investigated by the new mapping approach and the new extended auxiliary equation approach. Singular soliton solutions, kink and anti-kink soliton solutions, periodic function soliton solutions, Jacobi elliptic function solutions and hyperbolic function solutions of (2 + 1)-dimensional time-fractional Zoomeron equation have been obtained, where Jacobi elliptic function solutions are new solutions. When m → 1 or m → 0 , the Jacobi elliptic function solutions degenerate into the hyperbolic function solutions and the periodic function solutions. Consequently, it is obvious that the application of these two methods is effective to the time-fractional equations.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>The authors declare no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Zeng, Z.Y., Liu, X.H., Zhu, Y. and Huang, X.
