On the Painlevé integrability, periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions of generalized coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations

It is proven that generalized coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations possess the Painlevé property for two particular choices of parameters, using the Weiss-Tabor-Carnevale method and Kruskal's simplification. Abundant families of periodic wave solutions are obtained by using the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method with the assistance of symbolic manipulation system, Maple. It is also shown that these solutions exactly degenerate to bright soliton, dark soliton and mixed dark and bright soliton solutions with physical interests.
