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.     

New extended auxiliary equation method for finding many new Jacobi elliptic function solutions of three nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we construct many new types of Jacobi elliptic function solutions of nonlinear evolution equations using the so-called new extended auxiliary equation method. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by applications to three higher order nonlinear evolution equations, namely, the higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with derivative non-Kerr nonlinear terms, the higher order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The solitary wave solutions and periodic solutions are obtained from the Jacobi elliptic function solutions. Comparing our new results and the well-known results are given.     

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.

Variable-stepsize Runge–Kutta methods for stochastic Schrödinger equations

Stochastic wave equations of Schrödinger type are widely employed in physics and have numerous potential applications in chemistry. While some accurate numerical methods exist for particular classes of stochastic differential equations they cannot generally be used for Schrödinger equations. Efficient and accurate methods for their numerical solution therefore need to be developed. Here we show that existing Runge–Kutta methods for ordinary differential equations (odes) can be modified to solve stochastic wave equations provided that appropriate changes are made to the way stepsizes are selected. The order of the resulting stochastic differential equation (sde) scheme is half the order of the ode scheme. Specifically, we show that an explicit 9th order Runge–Kutta method (with an embedded 8th order method) for odes yields an order 4.5 method for sdes which can be implemented with variable stepsizes. This method is tested by solving systems of equations originating from master equations and from the many-body Schrödinger equation.     

Generalized linear Schrödinger equations and their Darboux transformations

We construct explicit Darboux transformations of arbitrary order for a class of generalized, linear Schrödinger equations. Our construction contains the well-known Darboux transformations for Schrödinger equations with position-dependent mass, Schrödinger equations coupled to a vector potential and Schrödinger equations for weighted energy.     

Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations and the Separation Property

Abstract

We investigate hierarchies of nonlinear Schrödinger equations for multiparticle systems satisfying the separation property, i.e., where product wave functions evolve by the separate evolution of each factor. Such a hierarchy defines a nonlinear derivation on tensor products of the single-particle wave-function space, and satisfies a certain homogeneity property characterized by two new universal physical constants. A canonical construction of hierarchies is derived that allows the introduction, at any particular “threshold” number of particles, of truly new physical effects absent in systems having fewer particles. In particular, if single quantum particles satisfy the usual (linear) Schrödinger equation, a system of two particles can evolve by means of a fairly simple nonlinear Schrödinger equation without violating the separation property. Examples of Galileian-invariant hierarchies are given.     

Periodic Solutions for a Class of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations in Higher Dimension

We prove the existence of periodic solutions in a class of nonlinear partial differential equations, including the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the nonlinear wave equation, and the nonlinear beam equation, in higher dimension. Our result covers cases of completely resonant equations, where the bifurcation equation is infinite-dimensional, such as the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with zero mass, for which solutions which at leading order are wave packets are shown to exist.     

A New Approach to the Exact Solutions of the Effective Mass Schrödinger Equation

Effective mass Schrödinger equation is solved exactly for a given potential. Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used to obtain energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions. A free parameter is used in the transformation of the wave function. The effective mass Schrödinger equation is also solved for the Morse potential transforming to the constant mass Schrödinger equation for a potential. One can also get solution of the effective mass Schrödinger equation starting from the constant mass Schrödinger equation.     

Nondegenerate soliton solutions in certain coupled nonlinear Schrödinger systems

In this paper, we report a more general class of nondegenerate soliton solutions, associated with two distinct wave numbers in different modes, for a certain class of physically important integrable two component nonlinear Schrödinger type equations through bilinearization procedure. In particular, we consider coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations (both focusing as well as mixed type nonlinearities), coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CCNLS) equations and long-wave-short-wave resonance interaction (LSRI) system. We point out that the obtained general form of soliton solutions exhibit novel profile structures than the previously known degenerate soliton solutions corresponding to identical wave numbers in both the modes. We show that such degenerate soliton solutions can be recovered from the newly derived nondegenerate soliton solutions as limiting cases.     

Exact hole-bound states for semiconductor quantum wells with arbitrary potential profiles

An efficient numerical-analytical method for finding confined and continuum states in quantum-well systems with arbitrary potential profiles, described by coupled Schrödinger equations, is presented. The method is based on the analytical properties of the wave functions, in particular, the power series representation of solutions of the corresponding coupled differential equations. Using only the general properties of the coefficients of a system of an arbitrary number of coupled Schrödinger equations, and imposing for definiteness the simplest boundary conditions, we derive exact expressions for the wave functions and present methods for accurate calculations of the energies and wave functions of confined states and of the wave functions of continuum states in quantum wells. The method is applied to the calculation of the dispersion of hole bound states in a single GaAs quantum well with truncated parabolic confining potentials of different strengths. The results are compared with data available from previous calculations.     

A General Approach for the Exact Solution of the Schrödinger Equation

The Schrödinger equation is solved exactly for some well known potentials. Solutions are obtained reducing the Schrödinger equation into a second order differential equation by using an appropriate coordinate transformation. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations to get energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions.     

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.     

Analysis of the rogue waves in the blood based on the high-order NLS equations with variable coefficients

The research of rogue waves is an advanced field which has important practical and theoretical significances in mathematics, physics, biological fluid mechanics, oceanography, etc. Using the reductive perturbation theory and long wave approximation, the equations governing the movement of blood vessel walls and the flow of blood are transformed into high-order nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations with variable coefficients. The third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation is degenerated into a completely integrable Sasa-Satsuma equation (SSE) whose solutions can be used to approximately simulate the real rogue waves in the vessels. For the first time, we discuss the conditions for generating rogue waves in the blood vessels and effects of some physiological parameters on the rogue waves. Based on the traveling wave solutions of the fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we analyze the effects of the higher order terms and the initial deformations of the blood vessel on the wave propagation and the displacement of the tube wall. Our results reveal that the amplitude of the rogue waves are proportional to the initial stretching ratio of the tube. The high-order nonlinear and dispersion terms lead to the distortion of the wave, while the initial deformation of the tube wall will influence the wave amplitude and wave steepness.     

Schrödinger Maps and Anti-Ferromagnetic Chains

We study the problem of restricting Schrödinger maps onto Lagrangian submanifolds. The restriction is imposed by an infinite constraining potential. We show that, in the limit, solutions of the Schrödinger map equations converge to solutions of generalized wave map equations. This result is applied to the anti-ferromagnetic systems where we prove rigorously that the dynamics is governed by wave map equations into .

New optical soliton solutions for nonlinear complex fractional Schrödinger equation via new auxiliary equation method and novel $$({G'}/{G})$$-expansion method

In this research, we apply two different techniques on nonlinear complex fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation which is a very important model in fractional quantum mechanics. Nonlinear Schrödinger equation is one of the basic models in fibre optics and many other branches of science. We use the conformable fractional derivative to transfer the nonlinear real integer-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation to nonlinear complex fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We apply new auxiliary equation method and novel \(\left( {G'}/{G}\right) \)-expansion method on nonlinear complex fractional Schrödinger equation to obtain new optical forms of solitary travelling wave solutions. We find many new optical solitary travelling wave solutions for this model. These solutions are obtained precisely and efficiency of the method can be demonstrated.     

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 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.
