Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a reliable treatment of the Fokas–Lenells equation, an integrable generalization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The authors use a special complex envelope traveling-wave solution to carry out the analysis. The study confirms the accuracy and efficiency of the used method.
Design/methodology/approach
The proposed technique, namely, the trial equation method, as presented in this work has been shown to be very efficient for solving nonlinear equations with spatio-temporal dispersion.
Findings
A class of chirped soliton-like solutions including bright, dark and kink solitons is derived. The associated chirp, including linear and nonlinear contributions, is also determined for each of these optical pulses. Parametric conditions for the existence of chirped soliton solutions are presented.
Research limitations/implications
The paper presents a new efficient algorithm for handling an integrable generalization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
