  • Abstract
    In the framework of a variational approach, we determine approximate analytical expressions for the self-trapped solutions in the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLCQSE) and compare our solutions with the available exact ones. Through our approach, we also discuss the stability of the solutions and give simple explanations to the physical meaning of the bistable soliton regime, which can be obtained for some parameter values
