Abstract. We study the dynamics of the Schrödinger equation with a fractional Laplacian (−∆), and the decoherence of the solution is observed in certain cases. Analytically, we find equations describing the dynamics of the expected position and expected momentum in the fractional Schödinger equation, equations that are the fractional counterpart of the Newtonian equations of motion for the non-...

Subsequently, the method has been used to obtain N soliton solutions of a vector higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, proposed by us. It has been shown that under suitable reduction, vector higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation reduces to higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equatio...

We propose integrable discretizations of derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations such as the Kaup–Newell equation, the Chen–Lee–Liu equation and the Gerdjikov–Ivanov equation by constructing Lax pairs. The discrete DNLS systems admit the reduction of complex conjugation between two dependent variables and possess bi-Hamiltonian structure. Through transformations of variables and reduc...

A new integrable nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation is introduced. It possesses a Lax pair and an infinite number of conservation laws and is PT symmetric. The inverse scattering transform and scattering data with suitable symmetries are discussed. A method to find pure soliton solutions is given. An explicit breathing one soliton solution is found. Key properties are discussed and contras...

The parabolic equation (nonlinear Schrödinger equation) that appears in problems of stationary nonlinear beam propagation (self-focusing) is reconsidered. It is shown that an additional term, which involves changes of the propagation constant along the propagation direction, should be taken into account. The physical consequences of this departure from the standard approximation, which uses the...

From the outset, mathematicians and physicists have been concerned with the ways in which solutions to this equation can be associated to classical particle motion, and the ways in which they cannot: the classical dynamical behavior of particles is intermixed with dispersive spreading and interference phenomena in quantum theory. More recently, nonlinear Schrödinger equations have come to play ...

Soliton motion in some external potentials is studied using the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Solitons are scattered by a potential wall. Solitons propagate almost freely or are trapped in a periodic potential. The critical kinetic energy for reflection and trapping is evaluated approximately with a variational method. keywords: soliton, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Lagrangian The nonlinea...

We consider the relation between the discrete coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Toda equation. Introducing complex times we can show the intergability of the discrete coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In the same way we can show the integrability in coupled case of dark and bright equations. Using this method we obtain several integrable equations.
