Three Solutions to the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation for a Constant Potential

We introduce three sets of solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the free particle case. A well-known solution is written in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions, which are the nonlinear versions of the trigonometric functions sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, and csc. The nonlinear versions of the other related functions like the real and complex exponential functions and the linear combinations of them is the subject of this chapter. We also illustrate the use of these functions in Quantum Mechanics as well as in nonlinear optics.
