A sequence of code using the standard NDSolve function has been developed in Mathematica to investigate the acceptable accuracy of the NLSE in relatively small ranges of the dispersive parameter space. An operator splitting approach was used in the numerical solutions to expand the boundaries and reduce the artifacts for a reliable solution. These numerical routines were implemented through the use with Mathematica and the results give a very clear view of this interesting and important practical phenomenon.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
