Phase Portraits and Abundant Soliton Solutions of a Hirota Equation with Higher-Order Dispersion

The Hirota equation, an advanced variant of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with cubic nonlinearity, incorporates time-delay adjustments and higher-order dispersion terms, offering an enhanced approximation for wave propagation in optical fibers and oceanic systems. By utilizing the traveling wave transformation generated from Lie point symmetry analysis with the combination of generalized exponential differential rational function and modified Bernoulli sub-ODE techniques, several traveling wave solutions, such as periodic, singular-periodic, and kink solitons, emerge. To examine the solutions visually, parametric values are adjusted to create 3D, contour, and 2D illustrations. Additionally, the dynamic properties of the model are explored through bifurcation analysis. The exact results demonstrate that both techniques are practical and robust.
