On some novel optical wave solutions to the paraxial M-fractional nonlinear Schrödinger dynamical equation.

The focus of this article is to find some new exact solutions to the M-fractional paraxial nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Kerr media by employing the modified simple equation method and the auxiliary equation method. A set of novel travelling wave solutions are observed such as bright, dark, periodic and optical solitons. Moreover, the physical interpretation of nonlinear waves would also be demonstrated with the aid of scientific computing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
