In this paper various analytical and numerical aspects of the dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (d-NLS equation) are discussed. Decaying solitary wave type solutions derived by Demiray is reviewed and a new approximate solitary wave type solution of the d-NLS equation is introduced in order to make comparisons. Also a split-step Fourier scheme is proposed for numerical solution of the d-NLS equation and the analytical solutions are compared with the numerical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
