Multi-symplectic scheme for the coupled Schrdinger-Boussinesq equations

In this paper, a multi-symplectic Hamiltonian formulation is presented for the coupled Schrdinger-Boussinesq equations (CSBE). Then, a multi-symplectic scheme of the CSBE is derived. The discrete conservation laws of the Langmuir plasmon number and total perturbed number density are also proved. Numerical experiments show that the multi-symplectic scheme simulates the solitary waves for a long time, and preserves the conservation laws well.     

Novel exact solutions of coupled nonlinear Schro¨dinger equations with time–space modulation

We construct various novel exact solutions of two coupled dynamical nonlinear Schrdinger equations.Based on the similarity transformation,we reduce the coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equations with time-and space-dependent potentials,nonlinearities,and gain or loss to the coupled dynamical nonlinear Schrdinger equations.Some special types of non-travelling wave solutions,such as periodic,resonant,and quasiperiodically oscillating solitons,are used to exhibit the wave propagations by choosing some arbitrary functions.Our results show that the number of the localized wave of one component is always twice that of the other one.In addition,the stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.     

A new finite difference scheme for a dissipative cubic nonlinear Schrdinger equation

This paper considers the one-dimensional dissipative cubic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain.The equation is discretized in time by a linear implicit three-level central difference scheme,which has analogous discrete conservation laws of charge and energy.The convergence with two orders and the stability of the scheme are analysed using a priori estimates.Numerical tests show that the three-level scheme is more efficient.     

Extended symmetry transformation of (3+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, the extended symmetry transformation of (3+1)-dimensional (3D) generalized nonlinear Schrdinger (NLS) equations with variable coefficients is investigated by using the extended symmetry approach and symbolic computation. Then based on the extended symmetry, some 3D variable coefficient NLS equations are reduced to other variable coefficient NLS equations or the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation. By using these symmetry transformations, abundant exact solutions of some 3D NLS equations with distributed dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or loss are obtained from the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation.

Trial function method and exact solutions to the generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time-dependent coefficient

In this paper,the trial function method is extended to study the generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with timedependent coefficients.On the basis of a generalized traveling wave transformation and a trial function,we investigate the exact envelope traveling wave solutions of the generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time-dependent coefficients.Taking advantage of solutions to trial function,we successfully obtain exact solutions for the generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time-dependent coefficients under constraint conditions.     

Multi-soliton solutions for the coupled modified nonlinear Schrdinger equations via Riemann–Hilbert approach

The coupled modified nonlinear Schrdinger equations are under investigation in this work. Starting from analyzing the spectral problem of the Lax pair, a Riemann–Hilbert problem for the coupled modified nonlinear Schrdinger equations is formulated. And then, through solving the obtained Riemann–Hilbert problem under the conditions of irregularity and reflectionless case, N-soliton solutions for the equations are presented. Furthermore, the localized structures and dynamic behaviors of the one-soliton solution are shown graphically.     

Dynamics of vector solitons in two-component Bose--Einstein condensates with time-dependent interactions and harmonic potential

We present two kinds of exact vector-soliton solutions for coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations with time-varying interactions and time-varying harmonic potential. Using the variational approach, we investigate the dynamics of the vector solitons. It is found that the two bright solitons oscillate about slightly and pass through each other around the equilibration state which means that they are stable under our model. At the same time, we obtain the opposite situation for dark--dark solitons.     

Nonautonomous solitary-wave solutions of the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients

A class of analytical solitary-wave solutions to the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients and potentials are constructed using the similarity transformation technique. Constraints for the dispersion coefficient, the cubic and quintic nonlinearities, the external potential, and the gain (loss) coefficient are presented at the same time. Various shapes of analytical solitary-wave solutions which have important applications of physical interest are studied in detail, such as the solutions in Feshbach resonance management with harmonic potentials, Faraday-type waves in the optical lattice potentials, and localized solutions supported by the Gaussian-shaped nonlinearity. The stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.     

On the characterization of vector rogue waves in two-dimensional two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with distributed coefficients

We construct vector rogue wave solutions of the two-dimensional two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with distributed coefficients, namely diffraction, nonlinearity and gain parameters through similarity transformation technique. We transform the two-dimensional two coupled variable coefficients nonlinear Schrödinger equations into Manakov equation with a constraint that connects diffraction and gain parameters with nonlinearity parameter. We investigate the characteristics of the constructed vector rogue wave solutions with four different forms of diffraction parameters. We report some interesting patterns that occur in the rogue wave structures. Further, we construct vector dark rogue wave solutions of the two-dimensional two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with distributed coefficients and report some novel characteristics that we observe in the vector dark rogue wave solutions.     

Nonlinear electrohydrodynamic Rayleigh-Taylor instability with mass and heat transfer subject to a vertical oscillating force and a horizontal electric field

Weakly nonlinear stability of interfacial waves propagating between two electrified inviscid fluids influenced by a vertical periodic forcing and a constant horizontal electric field is studied. Based on the method of multiple-scale expansion for a small-amplitude periodic force, two parametric nonlinear Schrödinger equations with complex coefficients are derived in the resonance cases. A standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation with complex coefficients is derived in the nonresonance case. A temporal solution is carried out for the parametric nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The stability analysis is discussed both analytically and numerically.     

Explicit multi-symplectic methods for Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we propose explicit multi-symplectic schemes for Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger equation by concatenating suitable symplectic Runge–Kutta-type methods and symplectic Runge–Kutta–Nyström-type methods for discretizing every partial derivative in each sub-equation. It is further shown that methods constructed in this way are multi-symplectic and preserve exactly the discrete charge conservation law provided appropriate boundary conditions. In the aim of the commonly practical applications, a novel 2-order one-parameter family of explicit multi-symplectic schemes through such concatenation is constructed, and the numerous numerical experiments and comparisons are presented to show the efficiency and some advantages of the our newly derived methods. Furthermore, some high-order explicit multi-symplectic schemes of such category are given as well, good performances and efficiencies and some significant advantages for preserving the important invariants are investigated by means of numerical experiments.     

A perfectly matched layer approach to the nonlinear Schrödinger wave equations

Absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) are generally required for simulating waves in unbounded domains. As one of those approaches for designing ABCs, perfectly matched layer (PML) has achieved great success for both linear and nonlinear wave equations. In this paper we apply PML to the nonlinear Schrödinger wave equations. The idea involved is stimulated by the good performance of PML for the linear Schrödinger equation with constant potentials, together with the time-transverse invariant property held by the nonlinear Schrödinger wave equations. Numerical tests demonstrate the effectiveness of our PML approach for both nonlinear Schrödinger equations and some Schrödinger-coupled systems in each spatial dimension.     

A Fractional Schrödinger Equation and Its Solution

This paper presents a fractional Schrödinger equation and its solution. The fractional Schrödinger equation may be obtained using a fractional variational principle and a fractional Klein-Gordon equation; both methods are considered here. We extend the variational formulations for fractional discrete systems to fractional field systems defined in terms of Caputo derivatives to obtain the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations of motion. We present the Lagrangian for the fractional Schrödinger equation of order α. We also use a fractional Klein-Gordon equation to obtain the fractional Schrödinger equation which is the same as that obtained using the fractional variational principle. As an example, we consider the eigensolutions of a particle in an infinite potential well. The solutions are obtained in terms of the sines of the Mittag-Leffler function.     

Symbolic-computation study of the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger model in inhomogeneous optical fibers

A realistic, inhomogeneous fiber in the optical communication systems can be described by the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger model (also named as the normalized nonlinear Schrödinger model with periodically varying coefficients, dispersion managed nonlinear Schrödinger model or nonlinear Schrödinger model with variable coefficients). Hereby, we extend to this model a direct method, perform symbolic computation and obtain two families of the exact, analytic bright-solitonic solutions, with or without the chirp respectively. The parameters addressed include the shape of the bright soliton, soliton amplitude, inverse width of the soliton, chirp, frequency, center of the soliton and center of the phase of the soliton. Of optical and physical interests, we discuss some previously-published special cases of our solutions. Those solutions could help the future studies on the optical communication systems.     

Darboux transformations for a system of coupled discrete Schrödinger equations

Darboux transformations and a factorization procedure are presented for a system of coupled finite-difference Schrödinger equations. The conformity between generalized Darboux transformations and the factorization method is established. Factorization chains and consequences of Darboux transformations are obtained for a system of coupled discrete Schrödinger equations. The proposed approach permits constructing a new series of potential matrices with known spectral characteristics for which coupled-channel discrete Schrödinger equations have exact solutions.     

The Hamiltonian dynamics of the soliton of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Hamiltonian equations are formulated in terms of collective variables describing the dynamics of the soliton of an integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a 1D lattice. Earlier, similar equations of motion were suggested for the soliton of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in partial derivatives. The operator of soliton momentum in a discrete chain is defined; this operator is unambiguously related to the velocity of the center of gravity of the soliton. The resulting Hamiltonian equations are similar to those for the continuous nonlinear Schrödinger equation, but the role of the field momentum is played by the summed quasi-momentum of virtual elementary system excitations related to the soliton.     

A variational approach to nonlinear evolution equations in optics

A tutorial review is presented of the use of direct variational methods based on Rayleigh-Ritz optimization for finding approximate solutions to various nonlinear evolution equations.

DISCRETE MULTISCALE ANALYSIS: A BIATOMIC LATTICE SYSTEM

We discuss a discrete approach to the multiscale reductive perturbative method and apply it to a biatomic chain with a nonlinear interaction between the atoms. This system is important to describe the time evolution of localized solitonic excitations.

We require that also the reduced equation be discrete. To do so coherently we need to discretize the time variable to be able to get asymptotic discrete waves and carry out a discrete multiscale expansion around them. Our resulting nonlinear equation will be a kind of discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger equation. If we make its continuum limit, we obtain the standard Nonlinear Schrödinger differential equation.
