Solitons in a generalized space- and time-variable coefficients nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher-order terms

We introduce an approach that combines a similarity method with several transformations to find analytical solitary wave solutions for a generalized space- and time-variable coefficients of nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher-order terms with consideration of varying dispersion, higher nonlinearities, gain/loss and external potential. One of these transformations is constructed in such a way that allows study of the width of localized solutions. Solitary-like wave solutions for front, bright and dark are given. The precise expressions of the soliton?s width, peak, and the trajectory of its mass center and the external potential which are symbol of dynamic behavior of these solutions, are investigated analytically. In addition, the dynamical behavior of moving, periodic, quasi-periodic of breathing, and resonant are discussed. Stability of the obtained solutions is analyzed both analytically and numerically.
