Periodic solutions from Lie symmetries for the generalized Chen-Lee-Liu equation (2109.02060v1)

Abstract: The nonlinear generalized Chen-Lee-Liu 1+1 evolution equation which describes the propagation of an optical pulse inside a monomode fiber is studied by using the method of Lie symmetries and the singularity analysis. Specifically, we determine the Lie point symmetries of the Chen-Lee-Liu equation and we reduce the equation by using the Lie invariants in order to determine similarity solutions. The solutions that we found have periodic behaviour and describe optical solitons. Furthermore, the singularity analysis is applied in order to write algebraic solutions of the Chen-Lee-Liu with the use of Laurent expansions. The latter analysis support the result for the existence of periodic behaviour of the solutions.
