Solutions, bifurcations and chaos of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with weak damping

Using the wave packet theory, we obtain all the solutions of the weakly damped nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. These solutions are the static solution, and solutions of planar wave, solitary wave, shock wave and elliptic function wave and chaos. The bifurcation phenomenon exists in both steady and non-steady solutions. The chaotic and periodic motions can coexist in a certain parametric space region.
