In this paper, exact solutions of semilinear equations having exponential growth in the space variable x are found. Semilinear Schrödinger equation with logarithmic nonlinearity and third-order evolution equations arising in optics with logarithmic and power-logarithmic nonlinearities are investigated. In the parabolic case, the solution u is written as u=be−ax2, a<0, a,b being real-valued functions. We are looking for the solutions u of Schrödinger-type equation of the form u=be−ax22, respectively, for the third-order PDE, u=AeiΦ, where the amplitude b and the phase function a are complex-valued functions, A>0, and Φ is real-valued. In our proofs, the method of the first integral is used, not Hirota’s approach or the method of simplest equation.
