HIROTA METHOD AND SOLITON SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Solitons are an important class of solutions to nonlinear differential equations which appear in different areas of physics and applied mathematics. In this study we provide a general overview of the Hirota method which is one of the most powerful tool in finding the multi-soliton solutions of nonlinear wave and evaluation equations. Bright and dark soliton solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equation are discussed in detail

Keywords

• Nonlinear differential equations
