We also investigate the temporal dynamics and stabilities of the soliton solutions of the fNLSE by implementing a spectral method, in which the fractional-order spectral derivatives are computed using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) routines, and the time integration is performed by a 4th order Runge-Kutta time-stepping algorithm. We discuss the effects of the order of the fractional derivative, alpha, on the properties, shapes, and temporal dynamics of the soliton solutions of the fNLSE. We also examine the interaction of those soliton solutions with zero, photorefractive and q-deformed Rosen-Morse potentials. We show that for all of these potentials, the soliton solutions of the fNLSE exhibit a splitting and spreading behavior, yet their dynamics can be altered by the different forms of the potentials and noise considered.Mathematics, Interdisciplinary ApplicationsMathematicsfractional nonlinear schrodinger equationpetviashvili methodpotential functionsolitonsq-deformationself-localized solitonsharmonic-oscillatorquantumtext::journal::journal article::research article
