Abstract

In this study, trigonometric and hyperbolic type traveling wave solutions are produced by using the sub-equation analytical method by taking into account the Kerr Law properties of the equation defining nematic liquid crystals. The resulting traveling wave solutions of the equation play an important role in the energy transport in soliton molecules in liquid crystals. In addition, the solitary wave behaviors obtained for different values of the constants in the produced traveling wave solutions are discussed. The hyperbolic type traveling wave solutions of the equation defining the nematic liquid crystals incorporating Kerr Law property is represented as dark and singular solitons. Ready-made package programs are used for algebraic operations and graphic drawings. It is emphasized that the analytical method is effective, useful and valid.
