On global behavior for complex soliton solutions of the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation in nonlinear optical fibers

•New structures of optical solitons for the perturbed nonlinear Schrodinger equation were constructed.•The solutions of this model are found using two different analytical techniques.•The Physical meaning for the obtained solutions is graphically investigated. In this research article, the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation (P-NLSE) is examined by utilizing two analytical methods, namely the extended modified auxiliary equation mapping and the generalized Riccati equation mapping methods. Consequently, we establish several sorts of new families of complex soliton wave solutions such as hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions, dark and bright solitons, periodic solitons, singular solitons, and kink-type solitons wave solutions of the P-NLSE. Using the mentioned methods, the results are displayed in 3D and 2D contours for specific values of the open parameters. The obtained findings demonstrate that the implemented techniques are capable of identifying the exact solutions of the other complex nonlinear evolution equations (C-NLEEs) that arise in a range of applied disciplines.
