We give a proof of the existence of stationary bright soliton solutions of the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inhomogeneous nonlinearity. By using bifurcation theory, we prove that the norm of the positive solution goes to zero as the parameter λ, called chemical potential in the Bose-Einstein condensates’ literature, tends to zero. Moreover, we solve the time-dependent cubic...

Article history: Received 7 February 2012 Available online 13 August 2012 We derive and justify a normal form reduction of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for a general pitchfork bifurcation of the symmetric bound state that occurs in a double-well symmetric potential. We prove persistence of normal form dynamics for both supercritical and subcritical pitchfork bifurcations in the timedepend...

We rigorously study the long time dynamics of solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in time-dependent external potentials. To set the stage, we first establish the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a generalized nonautonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We then show that when the external potential varies slowly in space compared to the size of the soliton, th...

In this paper, we present a discretization of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation based on a Magnus–Lanczos time integrator and high-order Gauss– Lobatto finite elements in space. A truncated Galerkin orthogonality is used to obtain duality-based a posteriori error estimates that address the temporal and the spatial error separately. Based on this theory, a space-time adaptive solver for th...

In this paper, we confirm the conjecture of Wang and Zhang (J. Stat. Phys. 134 (5-6): 953--968, 2009) in a long time scale, i.e., displacement wavefront for $1D$ nonlinear random Schroedinger equation is logarithmic order $|t|$.
