Weak interaction for higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation: An application of soliton perturbation

Using soliton perturbation theory, we analytically study weak interaction for a higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. An ansatz consists of two well-separate single solitons is considered and slow variation of solitons parameters are found. Twelve different scenarios for when the initial velocities are zero are observed. A good comparison is found between numerical and analytical results.
