A geometric characterization of the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation and its applications

We prove that the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation of attractive type (NLS⁺) describes just spherical surfaces (SS) and the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation of repulsive type (NLS^-) determines only pseudospherical surfaces (PSS). This implies that, though we show that given two differential PSS (resp. SS) equations there exists a local gauge transformation (despite of changing the independent variables or not) which transforms a solution of one into any solution of the other, it is impossible to have such a gauge transformation between the NLS⁺ and the NLS^-.

Solitary wave interaction for a higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation

Solitary wave interaction for a higher-order version of thenonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is examined. An asymptotictransformation is used to transform a higher-order NLS equationto a higher-order member of the NLS integrable hierarchy, ifan algebraic relationship between the higher-order coefficientsis satisfied. The transformation is used to derive the higher-orderone- and two-soliton solutions; in general, the N-soliton solutioncan be derived. It is shown that the higher-order collisionis asymptotically elastic and analytical expressions are foundfor the higher-order phase and coordinate shifts. Numericalsimulations of the interaction of two higher-order solitarywaves are also performed. Two examples are considered, one satisfiesthe algebraic relationship derived from asymptotic theory, andthe other does not. For the example which satisfies the algebraicrelationship, the numerical results confirm that the collisionis elastic. The numerical and theoretical predictions for thehigher-order phase and coordinate shifts are also in strongagreement. For the example which does not satisfy the algebraicrelationship, the numerical results show that the collisionis inelastic and radiation is shed by the solitary wave collision.As the bed of radiation shed by the waves decays very slowly(like t^–), it is computationally infeasible to calculatethe final phase and coordinate shifts for the inelastic example.An asymptotic conservation law is derived and used to test thefinite-difference scheme for the numerical solutions.     

A new approach to some nonlinear geometric equations in dimension two

We give new arguments for several Liouville type results related to the equation −Δ u = Ke^2u. The new approach is based on the holomorphic function associated with any solution, which plays a similar role as the Hopf differential for harmonic maps from a surface.     

Justification and failure of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in case of non-trivial quadratic resonances

The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation can be derived as an amplitude equation describing slow modulations in time and space of an underlying spatially and temporarily oscillating wave packet. The purpose of this paper is to prove estimates, between the formal approximation, obtained via the NLS equation, and true solutions of the original system in case of non-trivial quadratic resonances. It turns out that the approximation property (APP) holds if the approximation is stable in the system for the three-wave interaction (TWI) associated to the resonance. We construct a counterexample showing that the NLS equation can fail to approximate the original system if instability occurs for the approximation in the TWI system. In the unstable case we give some arguments why the validity of the APP can be expected for spatially localized solutions and why it cannot be expected for non-localized solutions. Although, we restrict ourselves to a nonlinear wave equation as original system we believe that the results hold in more general situations, too.     

Exact solutions of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In the present study, we converted the resulting nonlinear equation for the evolution of weakly nonlinear hydrodynamic disturbances on a static cosmological background with self-focusing in a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Applying the function transformation method, the NLS equation was transformed to an ordinary differential equation, which depended only on one function ξ and can be solved. The general solution of the latter equation in ζ leads to a general solution of NLS equation. A new set of exact solutions for the two-dimensional NLS equation is obtained.

Evolution equation of the Gauss curvature under hypersurface flows and its applications

In this paper, we derive evolution equation of the integral of the Gauss curvature on an evolving hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a monotone quantity on the level surface of the potential function on a 3-dimensional steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive sectional curvature, and prove that such a soliton is rotationally symmetric outside of a compact set under a curvature decaying assumption. Along the way we will also apply our evolution equation to some other cases.     

Validity of the KdV equation for the modulation of periodic traveling waves in the NLS equation

Bethuel et al.  and  and Chiron and Rousset [3] gave very nice proofs of the fact that slow modulations in time and space of periodic wave trains of the NLS equation can approximately be described via solutions of the KdV equation associated with the wave train. Here we give a much shorter proof of a slightly weaker result avoiding the very detailed and fine analysis of ,  and . Our error estimates are based on a suitable choice of polar coordinates, a Cauchy–Kowalevskaya-like method, and energy estimates.     

Modified method of simplest equation and its application to nonlinear PDEs

We search for traveling-wave solutions of the class of PDEswhere A_p(Q),B_r(Q),C_s(Q),D_u(Q) and F(Q) are polynomials of Q. The basis of the investigation is a modification of the method of simplest equation. The equations of Bernoulli, Riccati and the extended tanh-function equation are used as simplest equations. The obtained general results are illustrated by obtaining exact solutions of versions of the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, reaction-diffusion equation with density-dependent diffusion, and the reaction-telegraph equation.     

Generalized method and its application in the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation in nonlinear optical fibres

A generalized method, which is called the generally projective Riccati equation method, is presented to find more exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations based upon a coupled Riccati equation. As an application of the method, we choose the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation to illustrate the method. As a result more new exact travelling wave solutions are found which include bright soliton solutions, dark soliton solution, new solitary waves, periodic solutions and rational solutions. The new method can be extended to other nonlinear differential equations in mathematical physics.     

A sum operator equation and applications to nonlinear elastic beam equations and Lane-Emden-Fowler equations

This paper is concerned with an operator equation Ax+Bx+Cx=x on ordered Banach spaces, where A is an increasing α-concave operator, B is an increasing sub-homogeneous operator and C is a homogeneous operator. The existence and uniqueness of its positive solutions is obtained by using the properties of cones and a fixed point theorem for increasing general β-concave operators. As applications, we utilize the fixed point theorems obtained in this paper to study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for two classes nonlinear problems which include fourth-order two-point boundary value problems for elastic beam equations and elliptic value problems for Lane-Emden-Fowler equations.     

Rogon-like solutions excited in the two-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We report the analytical one- and two-rogon-like solutions for the two-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation by means of the similarity transformation. These obtained solutions can be used to describe the possible physical mechanisms for rogue-like wave phenomenon. Moreover, the free function of space y involved in the obtained solutions excites the abundant structures of rogue-like wave propagations. The Hermite-Gaussian function of space y (normalized function) is, in particular, chosen to depict the dynamical behaviors for rogue-like wave phenomenon.     

Comment on “New types of exact solutions for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinearity”

In this comment we analyze the paper [Abdelhalim Ebaid, S.M. Khaled, New types of exact solutions for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinearity, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 235 (2011) 1984-1992]. Using the traveling wave, Ebaid and Khaled have found “new types of exact solutions for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinearity”. We demonstrate that the authors studied the well-known nonlinear ordinary differential equation with the well-known general solution. We illustrate that Ebaid and Khaled have looked for some exact solution for the reduction of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation taking the general solution of the same equation into account.     

Evolution of solitary waves for a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Soliton perturbation theory is used to determine the evolution of a solitary wave described by a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Perturbation terms, which model wide classes of physically relevant perturbations, are considered. An analytical solution is found for the first-order correction of the evolving solitary wave. This solution for the solitary wave tail is in integral form and an explicit expression is found, for large time. Singularity theory, usually used for combustion problems, is applied to the large time expression for the solitary wave tail. Analytical results are obtained, such as the parameter regions in which qualitatively different types of solitary wave tails occur, the location of zeros and the location and amplitude of peaks, in the solitary wave tail. Two examples, the near-continuum limit of a discrete NLS equation and an explicit numerical scheme for the NLS equation, are considered in detail. For the discrete NLS equation it is found that three qualitatively different types of solitary wave tail can occur, while for the explicit finite-difference scheme, only one type of solitary wave tail occurs. An excellent comparison between the perturbation solution and numerical simulations, for the solitary wave tail, is found for both examples.

In this paper, the first integral method combined with Liu's theorem is applied to integrate a new coupled nonlinear Schrodinger type equation. Using this combination, more new exact traveling wave solutions are obtained for the considered equation using ideas from the theory of commutative algebra. In addition, more solutions are also obtained via the application of semi-inverse variational principle due to Ji-Huan He. The used approaches with the help of symbolic computations via Mathematica 9, may provide a straightforward effective and powerful mathematical tools for solving nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics.
