Trial function method and exact solutions to the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation with time-dependent coefficient

In this paper, the trial function method is extended to study the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation with time- dependent coefficients. On the basis of a generalized traveling wave transformation and a trial function, we investigate the exact envelope traveling wave solutions of the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation with time-dependent coefficients. Taking advantage of solutions to trial function, we successfully obtain exact solutions for the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation with time-dependent coefficients under constraint conditions.

Dynamics of optical rogue waves in inhomogeneous nonlinear waveguides

We propose a unified theory to construct exact rogue wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrdinger equation with varying coefficients. And then the dynamics of the first- and the second-order optical rogues are investigated. Finally, the controllability of the optical rogue propagating in inhomogeneous nonlinear waveguides is discussed. By properly choosing the distributed coefficients, we demonstrate analytically that rogue waves can be restrained or even be annihilated, or emerge periodically and sustain forever. We also figure out the center-of-mass motion of the rogue waves.     

Dynamics of three nonisospectral nonlinear Schrdinger equations

Dynamics of three nonisospectral nonlinear Schrdinger equations(NNLSEs), following different time dependencies of the spectral parameter, are investigated. First, we discuss the gauge transformations between the standard nonlinear Schrdinger equation(NLSE) and its first two nonisospectral counterparts, for which we derive solutions and infinitely many conserved quantities. Then, exact solutions of the three NNLSEs are derived in double Wronskian terms. Moreover,we analyze the dynamics of the solitons in the presence of the nonisospectral effects by demonstrating how the shapes,velocities, and wave energies change in time. In particular, we obtain a rogue wave type of soliton solutions to the third NNLSE.
