Optical solitons and complexitons of the Schrödinger–Hirota equation

The Schrödinger–Hirota equation governs the propagation of optical solitons in a dispersive optical fiber. In this paper, this equation will be solved by the ansatz method for bright and dark 1-soliton solution. The power law nonlinearity will be assumed. By using the tanh method, some additional solutions will be derived. Finally, the numerical simulations will be given.
