Spatiotemporal self-similar solutions for the nonautonomous (3+1)-dimensional cubic–quintic Gross–Pitaevskii equation

With the help of similarity transformation, we obtain analytical spatiotemporal self-similar solutions of the nonautonomous (3+1)-dimensional cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent diffraction, nonlinearity, harmonic potential and gain or loss when two constraints are satisfied. These constraints between the system parameters hint that self-similar solutions form and transmit stably without the distortion of shape based on the exact balance between the diffraction, nonlinearity and the gain/loss. Based on these analytical results, we investigate the dynamic behaviours in a periodic distributed amplification system.
