Abstract

The enterprising of nematicons has procured considerable recognition during the last few years due to its utilization in crystal technology. This research work contains some new exact traveling waves solutions in nematic liquid crystals. The modified simple equation method is employed to extract new traveling wave solutions. Two types of nonlinear mediums are investigated in this paper. New singular, periodic-singular and spatial solitons in liquid crystal are obtained by using analytical approach. The constraints fall out as the byproduct that guarantee their existence. The solutions are also highlighted graphically. This paper is leading to explore some unaccustomed results into this area of research.
