In this work, we proposed a new modified generalized Riccati equation mapping approach to successfully extract several analytical soliton solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with the help of symbolic computation works in Mathematica.The (2+1)-dimensional NLS equation is used in many fields, including plasma physics, nonlinear optics, and quantum electrodynamics. The main objective of the present work is to develop an effective methodology for solving highly nonlinear evolution equations that are influenced by the enhancement of a previously known method. The approach under consideration is a newly improved version of the classic generalized Riccati equation mapping. By taking advantage of this newly proposed method, we produced a wide range of closed-form solutions, including new optical solitons, traveling waves, and soliton-like solutions, all of which are crucial for nonlinear optics, optical fibers, and the physical propagation of electromagnetic waves. One may clearly argue that the novel method is highly effective and successful in finding exact solutions to nonlinear evolution equations. Moreover, we obtained a variety of new families of soliton-like wave solutions. By using the mathematical software Mathematica, we also created 2D, 3D, and contour graphics for some of the reported solutions by choosing suitable parameter values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
