Abstract A high-order dispersive cubic-quintic Gross–Pitaevskii (HDCQGP) equation (a generalized variable coefficients nonlinear Schrodinger equation with the third and fourth-order and the cubic-quintic nonlinear terms) is considered, and is transformed into a standard cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). By using the generalized tanh-function method, we study exact solutions of the HDCQGP equation with time-modulated potential and nonlinearity. In particular, based on the similarity transformation, we report several families of non-autonomous wave solutions of the HDCQGP equation with snaking behaviors and different amplitude surfaces. At last, we consider the numerical simulation of two solitons collision for the NLSE with different parameters. These results may raise the possibility of relative experiments and potential applications.
