By introducing the generalized Hermite-Laguerre-Gaussian ansatz similar to the corresponding linear modes, weKeywords: Gaussian distribution; Molecular dynamics; Nonlinear systems; Problem solving; Rotation; Vortex flow; Nonlocality; Propagation dynamics; Spatial solitons; Vortex beams; Solitons Nonlocality; Propagation dynamics; Spatial solitons; Vortex beams200710.1117/12.7501132015-12-08
