Resumen:
We analyze the response of rational and regular (hyperbolic-secant) soliton solutions of an extended nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) which includes an additional self-defocusing quadratic term, to periodic modulations of the coefficient in front of this term. Using the variational approximation (VA) with rational and hyperbolic trial functions, we transform this NLSE into Hamiltonian dynamical systems which give rise to chaotic solutions. The presence of chaos in the variational solutions is corroborated by calculating their power spectra and the correlation dimension of the Poincare maps. This chaotic behavior (predicted by the VA) is not observed in the direct numerical solutions of the NLSE when rational initial conditions are used. The solitary-wave solutions generated by these initial conditions gradually decay under the action of the nonlinearity management. On the contrary, the solutions of the NLSE with exponentially localized initial conditions are robust solitary-waves
