Description

We analyze the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity through the (G′/G)-expansion method to present some improved results. Three types of analytic solutions with arbitrary parameters are constructed; hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational which have not been explicitly computed before. -- Highlights: ► Discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity. ► We confirm that the model supports three types of solutions with arbitrary parameters. ► A new application of the (G′/G)-expansion method presented.
