Abstract:
The self-focusing described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a higher-order derivative term is investigated numerically. We demonstrate that, depending on the sign before this term, it may lead in the final stage either to defocusing or to a steady homogeneous wave beam. In both cases the transition to the final state is shown to be oscillatory.
