1. Introduction
In the real world, complex nonlinear phenomena are everywhere and nonlinear PDEs are often used to describe these nonlinear complexities. To gain more insights into the essence behind the nonlinear phenomena for further applications, people usually restore to the dynamical evolutions of exact wave solutions of nonlinear PDEs. It is well known that the celebrated Schrödinger wave equation possesses N-soliton solutions and is often used to describe quantum mechanical behavior. In the field of nonlinear mathematical physics, many analytical methods have been presented for exactly solving nonlinear PDEs, such as those in [1–19]. It is worth mentioning that the exp-function method [8] with a rational exp-function ansatz is an effective mathematical tool for constructing exact wave solutions.
In this paper, with a complex multirational exp-function ansatz, we shall construct and gain more insights into the rational solutions, including solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of the following gNLS equation with gain in the form used in nonlinear fiber optics [20–24]:
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give a description of the complex multirational exp-function ansatz used to construct explicit solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of nonlinear PDEs with complex coefficients. In Section 3, we use the introduced complex multirational exp-function ansatz to construct solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of the gNLS in (1). In Section 4, in order to gain more insights into the complex dynamics of the obtained wave solutions, we simulate the dynamical evolutions of some solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions. In Section 5, we conclude this paper.
2. Complex Multirational Exp-Function Ansatz
For a given nonlinear PDE with complex coefficients, for example, the NLS in (3), we suppose that its complex multirational exp-function ansatz has the following form [9]:
Special case 1 of (4): solitary wave ansatz:
Special case 2 of (4): N-wave ansatz:

Special case 3 of (4): rouge wave ansatz:
3. Rational Exp-Function Solutions
In this section, we employ the rational exp-function ansatz (4) and its special cases (5)-(9) to construct rational solutions, including solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of the gNLS in (1).
3.1. Solitary Wave Solutions
Let us begin with the gNLS in (1). Firstly, we assume that
Then we further suppose that
We therefore obtain a pair of rational exp-function solutions of the gNLS in (1):
3.2. N-Wave Solutions
For convenience, we let
In what follows, we construct N-wave solutions of (23). To begin with the single-wave solution, we suppose that
Substituting (24) into (23) and equating each coefficient of the same order power of
For the double-wave solution, we next suppose that
Finally, we determine the three-wave solution of the following form:
Similarly, we have
With the help of (40)-(61), the three-wave solution (39) can be finally determined as follows:
Generally, introducing the notations
3.3. Rouge Wave Solutions
To construct rouge wave solutions, we rewrite (9) as
We, therefore, obtain two pairs of rational exp-function wave solutions as follows:
It is easy to see that when
In a similar way, when
4. Complex Dynamics
To gain more insights into the solutions obtained in Section 3, we investigate the dynamical evolutions of some obtained solutions. Firstly, we select
Secondly, we consider solutions (26), (33), and (62). In Figure 5, the module of the single-wave solution (26) is shown by selecting
Thirdly, in Figures 8–17, we simulate some modules of one branch of solution (81) by selecting
Finally, we simulate the rouge wave solutions (83) and (84). In Figure 18, a rouge wave structure determined by the module of solution (83) is shown by selecting

5. Conclusion
In summary, we have obtained explicit solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of the gNLS in (1) benefiting from the complex multirational exp-function ansatz (4) presented in this paper for nonlinear PDEs with complex coefficients. To the best of our knowledge, the exp-function method and its improvements [8–11] have not been used for the gNLS in (1) and the obtained solutions with free parameters have not been reported in the literatures. In 2001, Serkin and Belyaeva derived a new and more general NLS equation [25]:

Abstract
In this paper, we first present a complex multirational exp-function ansatz for constructing explicit solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) with complex coefficients. To illustrate the effectiveness of the complex multirational exp-function ansatz, we then consider a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (gNLS) equation with distributed coefficients. As a result, some explicit rational exp-function solutions are obtained, including solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions. Finally, we simulate some spatial structures and dynamical evolutions of the modules of the obtained solutions for more insights into these complex rational waves. It is shown that the complex multirational exp-function ansatz can be used for explicit solitary wave solutions, N-wave solutions, and rouge wave solutions of some other nonlinear PDEs with complex coefficients.
