Abstract
In this paper we study the dynamics and stability of localized solutions in a saturable nonlinear Schrödinger equation with space- and time-dependent variable coefficients. Using a variational approach and numerical simulations, we analyze the effects of different external potential configurations. Our results reveal that the stability of the solutions is highly sensitive to the modulation parameters, leading to the emergence of alternating stable and unstable regions as a function of the modulation frequency. These findings provide valuable insights into the control of localized structures in nonlinear wave systems, with potential implications for optical waveguides, Bose-Einstein condensates, and other nonlinear media.
