Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study stability analysis, solition solutions and Gaussian solitons of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher order terms, which can be used to describe the propagation properties of optical soliton solutions.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors apply the ansatz method and the Hamiltonian system technique to find its bright, dark and Gaussian wave solitons and analyze its modulation instability analysis and stability analysis solution.

Findings

The results imply that the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation has bright, dark and Gaussian wave solitons. Meanwhile, the authors provide the graphical analysis of such solutions to better understand their dynamical behavior. Some constraint conditions are provided which can guarantee the existence of solitons. The authors analyze its modulation instability analysis and stability analysis solution.

Originality/value

These results may help us to further study the local structure and the interaction of solutions in generalized nonlinear Schrödinger -type equations. The authors hope that the results provided in this work can help enrich the dynamic behavior of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger--type equations.
