Optical solitons for the resonant nonlinear Schrödinger's equation with time-dependent coefficients by the first integral method.

Abstract: In this paper, the resonant nonlinear Schrödinger's equation is studied with three forms of nonlinearity. This equation is also considered with time-dependent coefficients. The first integral method is used to carry out the integration. Exact soliton solutions of this equation are found. These solutions are constructed through the established first integrals. The power of this manageable method is confirmed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
