Soliton management in the nonlinear Schrodinger equation model with varying dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain

The novel stable soliton islands in a sea of solitary waves of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation model with varying dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or absorption are discovered. Different soliton management regimes are predicted. (C) 2000 MAIK Nauka/Interperiodica.
