TY - JOUR TI - Exact solitary wave solutions for non-linear optic model by variational perspective AU - Fan Zhi-Yong JN - Thermal Science PY - 2024 VL - 28 IS - 2 SP - 1003 EP - 1006 PT - Article AB - A variational principle for the non-linear optic model is established by semi-inverse method. Two new exact solitary wave solutions are obtained by using the variational transform method. Numerical examples show the novel method is efficient and simple, and can be applied to find solitary wave solutions for different types of wave equations. The physical properties of solitary wave solutions are illustrated by some figures.
