We construct special solutions of the two models, namely standing wave solutions of NLS and traveling waves, which turn out to have compact support, compactons. We show that the compactons are unique bell-shaped solutions of the corresponding PDEs and for appropriate variational problems as well. We provide a complete spectral characterization of such waves, for all values of \u0000\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 p\u0000 \u0000\u0000. Namely, we show that all waves are spectrally stable for \u0000\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 2\u0000 >\u0000 p\u0000 ≤\u0000 8\u0000 \u0000 2>pleq 8\u0000 \u0000\u0000, while a single mode instability occurs for \u0000\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 >\u0000 8\u0000 \u0000 p>8\u0000 \u0000\u0000.
