Nonuniform and Higher-order FDTD Methods for the Schrödinger Equation

Peak-height formula for higher-order breathers of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on nonuniform backgrounds.

Given any background (or seed) solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the Darboux transformation can be used to generate higher-order breathers with much greater peak intensities. In this work, we use the Darboux transformation to prove, in a unified manner and without knowing the analytical form of the background solution, that the peak height of a high-order breather is just a sum of...

Higher Order Unitary Integrators for the Schrödinger Equation

High Order Stable Finite Difference Methods for the Schrödinger Equation

In this paper we extend the Summation–by–parts–simultaneous approximation term (SBP–SAT) technique to the Schrödinger equation. Stability estimates are derived and the accuracy of numerical approximations of interior order 2m, m = 1, 2, 3, are analyzed in the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show that a boundary closure of the numerical approximations of order m lead to global accuracy...

High-order symplectic FDTD scheme for solving a time-dependent Schrödinger equation

Using the three-order symplectic integrators and fourth-order collocated spatial differences, a highorder symplectic finite-difference time-domain (SFDTD) scheme is proposed to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. First, the high-order symplectic framework for discretizing a Schrödinger equation is described. Then the numerical stability and dispersion analyses are provided for the FD...

Periodic waves of a discrete higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation ∗

The Hirota equation is a higher order extension of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation by incorporating third order dispersion and one form of self steepening effect. New periodic waves for the discrete Hirota equation are given in terms of elliptic functions. The continuum limit converges to the analogous result for the continuous Hirota equation, while the long wave limit of these discrete per...
