Abstract
In this paper, the extended trial equation method, the -expansion method and the
-expansion method are used in examining the analytical solution of the non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with fourth-order dispersion. The proposed methods are based on the integration method and a wave transformation. The NLSE with fourth-order dispersion is an equation that arises in soliton radiation, soliton communications with dispersion caused by the hindrance in presence of higher order dispersion terms. We successfully get some solutions with the kink structure.

1. Introduction
Searching for the new analytical solutions to non-linear evolution equations (NEEs) plays a vital role in the study of non-linear physical aspects. Non-linear evolution equation are often used to express complex models that arise in the various fields of non-linear sciences, such as; plasma physics, quantum mechanics, biological sciences and so on.
There are many non-linear physical phenomena in nature that are described by non-linear equations of partial differential equations. Nowadays, with rapid development of symbolic computation systems, the search for the exact solutions of non-linear equations of PDEs has attracted a lot of attention. Recently, a variety of approaches has been proposed and applied to the non-linear equations of PDEs, including the Exp-function method (Ekici, Mirzazadeh, Sonmezoglu, Zhou, Triki, Ullah, & Biswas, Citation2017; Manafian, Citation2015; Manafian & Lakestani, Citation2015a), the generalized Kudryashov method (Zhou, Ekici, Sonmezoglu, Manafian, Khaleghizadeh, & Mirzazadeh, Citation2016), the extended Jacobi elliptic function expansion method (Ekici, Zhou, Sonmezoglu, Manafian, & Mirzazadeh, Citation2017; Mirzazadeh, Ekici, Sonmezoglu, Ortakaya, Eslami, & Biswas, Citation2016), the improve -expansion method (Manafian, Citation2016; Manafian, Citation2017; Manafian & Lakestani, Citation2016a, Citationb; Manafian, Lakestani, & Bekir, Citation2016), the
-expansion method (Manafian & Lakestani, Citation2015b; Manafian & Lakestani, Citation2017; Sindi & Manafian, Citation2016), the generalized
-expansion method (Zinati & Manafian, Citation2017), the Bernoulli sub-equation function method (Baskonus, Citation2017; Bulut & Baskonus, Citation2016; Baskonus & Bulut, Citation2016a; Baskonus, Koç, & Bulut, Citation2016), the sine-Gordon expansion method (Baskonus, Citation2016; Baskonus & Bulut, Citation2016b; Baskonus, Bulut, & Atangana, Citation2016; Yel, Baskonus, & Bulut, Citation2017), the Ricatti equation expansion (Inc, Kilic, & Baleanu, Citation2016; Zhou, Citation2016), the formal linearization method (Mirzazadeh & Eslami, Citation2015), the Lie symmetry (Tchier, Yusuf, Aliyu, & Inc, Citation2017) and so on.
Extended trial equation method is one of the robust techniques to look for the exact solutions of non-linear partial differential equations that has received special interest owing to its fairly great performance. For example, Mohyud-Din and Irshad (Citation2017) explored new exact solitary wave solutions of some non-linear PDEs arising in electronics using the extended trial equation method. Mirzazadeh et al. (Citation2017) adopted he extended trial equation method to obtain analytical solutions to the generalized resonant dispersive non-linear Schrödinger’s equation with power law nonlinearity. Ekici et al. (Citation2017) found the exact soliton solutions to magneto-optic waveguides that appear with Kerr, power and log-law nonlinearities using the extended trial equation method.
This paper will adopt three integration schemes that are known as the extended trial equation method, the -expansion method, and the
-expansion method that will reveal soliton solutions as well as other solutions. The system for the model is studied here to investigate exact solution structures. We note that this system has not yet been studied using the afore-mentioned methods.
The rest of the paper is ordered as follows: Analysis of model is presented in Section 2. In Sections 3, 4, and 5, the extended trial equation method, the -expansion method, and the
-expansion method are given. Application of methods are given in sections . In Sections 6, 7, and 8, applications of the NLSE with fourth-order dispersion are given and derived exact solutions. Finally, the conclusion is given in Section 9.
2. Analysis of model
In this section, we briefly outline the model used in this study. The dimensionless form of the NLSE with fourth-order dispersion (Kohl & Biswas, Citation2017; Kohl, Biswas, Milovic, & Zerrad, Citation2008; Wazwaz, Citation2006) is given by:(2.1)

(5.4) Step 3. To determine m. This, usually, can be accomplished by balancing the linear term(s) of highest order with the highest-order non-linear term(s) in Equation (5.2). But, the positive integer m can be determined by considering the homogeneous balance between the highest order derivatives and non-linear terms appearing in Equation (5.2). Moreover, precisely, we define the degree of
as
, which gives rise to degree of another expression as follows:
(5.5)
(5.5) Step 4. Substituting (5.3) into Equation (5.2) with the value of M obtained in Step 3. Collecting the coefficients of
,
, then setting each coefficient to zero, we can get a set of overdetermined equations for
