Some optical solutions to the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Kerr nonlinearity and a local fractional derivative

Abstract

Partial differential equations are among the most important mathematical tools for scientists in describing many physical and engineering problems related to real life. Accordingly, in this work, an efficient technique is proposed for getting different collections of solutions to a third-order version of nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation. Some numerical simulations related to the acquiblack solutions are also provided in this research. All results presented in this article can be consideblack as new achievements for the model. Further, it is emphasized that the used technique enables us to study other forms of nonlinear models. It is obtained that the technique is a reliable tool in handling many nonlinear partial differential equations arising in engineering, fluid mechanics, nonlinear optics, oceans, seas, and many mathematical physics. Moreover, the present results help the plasma physics researchers for investigating many nonlinear modulated structures that can generate and propagate in laboratory and space plasmas.
