On the integrability of the extended nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled extended nonlinear Schrödinger equations

subject

description

We consider the extended nonlinear Schr¨ (ENLS) equation which governs the propagation of nonlinear optical fields in a fibre with higher-order effects such as higher-order dispersion and self-steepening. We show that the ENLS equation does not pass the Painlev´ test. Similarly, we claim that the coupled ENLS equations and N -coupled ENLS equations which govern the simultaneous propagation of two and more nonlinear fields in optical fibres are also not integrable from the Painlev´ e analysis point of view.
