Approximate bright-soliton solution of the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, approximate bright-soliton solutions of the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation are constructed by treating the higher-order terms as small perturbations. The first-, second-, and third-order asymptotic solutions are obtained. The errors between the asymptotic solutions and the numerical/analytical solutions are discussed, which gives a high accuracy of the approximate solutions. It is pointed that the asymptotic …
