Abundant soliton solutions and different dynamical behaviors of various waveforms to a new (3+1)-dimensional Schrödinger equation in optical fibers

In this paper, we use two efficient mathematical approaches to obtain a variety of soliton solutions to the (3+1)-dimensional Schrödinger equation: the generalized Riccati equation mapping method and the newly proposed modified generalized exponential rational function method. These techniques extracted standard, illustrative, rich dynamical structures, and further comprehensive soliton solutions and traveling wave solutions involving hyperbolic form, trigonometric form, and exponential form. The obtained results have been verified by placing them back into the mentioned nonlinear partial differential equation via symbolic computation in Mathematica. Thereafter, the graphical demonstrations of some attained solutions are discussed for a better understanding of the physical phenomenon. We have portrayed the three-dimensional, contour plot, and two-dimensional graphs for different parametric values. The attained results demonstrate the generalized Riccati equation mapping method and modified generalized exponential rational function techniques for extracting soliton solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations are efficient, compatible, and reliable in nonlinear sciences, optical fibers, and engineering.
