In this paper, under investigation is a (2 + 1)-dimensional variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which is introduced to the study of an optical fiber, where [Formula: see text] is the temporal variable, variable coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are related to the group velocity dispersion, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represent the Kerr nonlinearity and linear term, respectively. Via the Hirota bilinear method, bilinear forms are obtained, and bright one-, two-, three- and N-soliton solutions as well as dark one- and two-soliton solutions are derived, where [Formula: see text] is a positive integer. Velocities and amplitudes of the bright/dark one solitons are obtained via the characteristic-line equations. With the graphical analysis, we investigate the influence of the variable coefficients on the propagation and interaction of the solitons. It is found that [Formula: see text] can only affect the phase shifts of the solitons, while [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] determine the amplitudes and velocities of the bright/dark solitons.

In this paper, a fifth-order variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, which describes the propagation of the attosecond pulses in an optical fiber. Via the Hirota’s method and auxiliary functions, bilinear forms and dark one-, two- and three-soliton solutions are obtained. Propagation and interaction of the solitons are discussed graphically: We observe that the solitonic velocities are only related to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the coefficients of the second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-order terms, respectively, with [Formula: see text] being the scaled distance, while the solitonic amplitudes are related to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] as well as the wave number. When [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the constants, or the linear, quadratic and trigonometric functions of [Formula: see text], we obtain the linear, parabolic, cubic and periodic dark solitons, respectively. Interactions between (among) the two (three) solitons are depicted, which can be regarded to be elastic because the solitonic amplitudes remain unchanged except for some phase shifts after each interaction in an optical fiber.
