Eigenvalues of a nonlinear ground state in the Thomas-Fermi approximation

We study a nonlinear ground state of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a parabolic potential in the hydrodynamics limit often referred to as the Thomas-Fermi approximation. Existence of the energy minimizer has been known in literature for some time but it was only recently when the Thomas-Fermi approximation was rigorously justified. The spectrum of linearization of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation at the ground state consists of an unbounded sequence of positive eigenvalues. We analyze convergence of eigenvalues in the hydrodynamics limit. Convergence in norm of the resolvent operator is proved and the convergence rate is estimated. We also study asymptotic and numerical approximations of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues using Airy functions.     

Edge-localized states on quantum graphs in the limit of large mass

We construct and quantify asymptotically in the limit of large mass a variety of edge-localized stationary states of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a quantum graph. The method is applicable to general bounded and unbounded graphs. The solutions are constructed by matching a localized large amplitude elliptic function on a single edge with an exponentially smaller remainder on the rest of the graph. This is done by studying the intersections of Dirichlet-to-Neumann manifolds (nonlinear analogues of Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps) corresponding to the two parts of the graph. For the quantum graph with a given set of pendant, looping, and internal edges, we find the edge on which the state of smallest energy at fixed mass is localized. Numerical studies of several examples are used to illustrate the analytical results.     

Stability of solitary waves and weak rotation limit for the Ostrovsky equation

Ostrovsky equation describes the propagation of long internal and surface waves in shallow water in the presence of rotation. In this model dispersion is taken into account while dissipation is neglected. Existence and nonexistence of localized solitary waves is classified according to the sign of the dispersion parameter (which can be either positive or negative). It is proved that for the case of positive dispersion the set of solitary waves is stable with respect to perturbations. The issue of passing to the limit as the rotation parameter tends to zero for solutions of the Cauchy problem is investigated on a bounded time interval.

Dynamics of solitons in plasmas for the complex KdV equation with power law nonlinearity

This paper obtains the 1-soliton solution of the complex KdV equation with power law nonlinearity. The solitary wave ansatz is used to carry out the integration. The soliton perturbation theory for this equation is developed and the soliton cooling is observed for bright solitons. Finally, the dark soliton solution is also obtained for this equation.

The quintic NLS as the mean field limit of a boson gas with three-body interactions

We investigate the dynamics of a boson gas with three-body interactions in dimensions d=1,2. We prove that in the limit of infinite particle number, the BBGKY hierarchy of k-particle marginals converges to a limiting (Gross-Pitaevskii (GP)) hierarchy for which we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions. Factorized solutions of the GP hierarchy are shown to be determined by solutions of a quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Our proof is based on, and extends, methods of Erdös-Schlein-Yau, Klainerman-Machedon, and Kirkpatrick-Schlein-Staffilani.     

Coupled-Mode Equations and Gap Solitons in a Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Elliptic Problem with a Separable Periodic Potential

We address a two-dimensional nonlinear elliptic problem with a finite-amplitude periodic potential. For a class of separable symmetric potentials, we study the bifurcation of the first band gap in the spectrum of the linear Schrödinger operator and the relevant coupled-mode equations to describe this bifurcation. The coupled-mode equations are derived by the rigorous analysis based on the Fourier–Bloch decomposition and the implicit function theorem in the space of bounded continuous functions vanishing at infinity. Persistence of reversible localized solutions, called gap solitons, beyond the coupled-mode equations is proved under a nondegeneracy assumption on the kernel of the linearization operator. Various branches of reversible localized solutions are classified numerically in the framework of the coupled-mode equations and convergence of the approximation error is verified. Error estimates on the time-dependent solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation approximated by solutions of the coupled-mode equations are obtained for a finite-time interval.

Effect of a Localized Random Forcing Term on the Korteweg-De Vries Equation

In this work, we numerically investigate the influence of a white noise-type forcing on the phenomenon of forced generation of solitons by a localized moving disturbance. Our numerical method is based on finite elements and least-squares. We present numerical experiments for different values of noise amplitude and Froude number, which describe some damping effects on the emission of solitons.     

A Numerical Study of the Stability of Solitary Waves of the Bona–Smith Family of Boussinesq Systems

In this paper we study, from a numerical point of view, some aspects of stability of solitary-wave solutions of the Bona–Smith systems of equations. These systems are a family of Boussinesq-type equations and were originally proposed for modelling the two-way propagation of one-dimensional long waves of small amplitude in an open channel of water of constant depth. We study numerically the behavior of solitary waves of these systems under small and large perturbations with the aim of illuminating their long-time asymptotic stability properties and, in the case of large perturbations, examining, among other, phenomena of possible blow-up of the perturbed solutions in finite time.

Consider the spherical average . We prove that for every and every isotropic convex body in , the statements (A) ``for every , " and (B) ``for every , , where " are equivalent.

     

The hydrodynamic limit for the reaction diffusion equation — An approach in terms of the GPV method

We study the hydrodynamic limit of the reaction diffusion process by means of the GPV technique (Guoet al. ⁽⁴⁾). To this end, we first derivea priori bounds on the moments of the occupation numbers using the local central limit theorem and results of stochastic analysis. The result of De Masi and Presutti⁽²⁾ for the hydrodynamic limit of the reaction diffusion process is generalized here.

Numerical simulation of the modified regularized long wave equation by He's variational iteration method

The modified regularized long wave (MRLW) equation, with some initial conditions, is solved numerically by variational iteration method. This method is useful for obtaining numerical solutions with high degree of accuracy. The variational iteration solution for the MRLW equation converges to its exact solution. Moreover, the conservation laws properties of the MRLW equation are also studied. Finally, interaction of two and three solitary waves is shown. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
