Abstract
Using the Kantorovitch method in combination with a Gaussian ansatz, we derive the equations of motion for spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal optical propagation in a dispersive Kerr medium with a general transverse and spectral gain profile. By rewriting the variational equations as differential equations for the temporal and spatial Gaussian q parameters, optical
