In the one-dimensional (1D) system, this setting is provided by a combination of the SF cubic term multiplied by the delta-function, $\\delta (x)$, and a spatially uniform SDF quintic term. This system gives rise to the most general family of 1D-Townes solitons, the entire family being unstable. However, it is completely stabilized by a finite-width regularization of the $\\delta $-function. The results are produced by means of numerical and analytical methods.
