“…In the past few decades, many researchers are interested in studying the nonlinear Shrödinger (NLS) equation as a nonlinear PDE, which has many applications in optical fibers, plasma, and other areas of sciences and engineering [1][2][3]. Many approaches leading to exact solutions of nonlinear PDEs in the literature, such as the Hirota's bilinear [4,5], the trigonometric function series method [6], the modified mapping method [7], the modified trigonometric function series method [8,9], the bifurcation method [10,11], the tanh-coth method [12], the Jacobi elliptic function method [13,14], the exp-function method [15], the F-expansion method [16], the mapping method [17], new φ 6 -model expansion method [18], unified Riccati equation expansion method [19], modified simple equation method [20], extended simplest equation method [20,21], generalized Sub-ODE method [22][23][24], the new extended auxiliary equation method [25,26] and others. The idea in solving nonlinear PDE via most of these techniques is to reduce it to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) and hence solving it by the procedures of these approaches leading to the exact solutions to the original PDE under consideration.…”
