A five-dimensional symmetry algebra consisting of Lie point symmetries is firstly computed for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which, together with a reflection invariance, generates two five-parameter solution groups. Three ansätze of transformations are secondly analyzed and used to construct exact solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Various examples of exact solutions with c...

In this paper we develop a local discontinuous Galerkin method to solve the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation. L stability of the schemes are obtained for both of these nonlinear equations. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of these methods. 2004 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power law nonlinearity is studied. The first integral method, the Riccati sub-ODE method are efficient methods to construct the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations.By means of these methods, the periodic and solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power law nonlinearity are obtained.

By using the geometric concept of PDEs with prescribed curvature representation, we prove that the 1+2 dimensional isotropic Landau-Lifshitz equation is gauge equivalent to a 1+2 dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger-type system. From the nonlinear Schrödinger-type system, we construct blowing up H3(R2)-solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz equation, which reveals the blow up phenomenon of the equation.

Under certain scaling the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with random dispersion converges to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with white noise dispersion. The aim of this work is to prove that this latter equation is globally well posed in L or H. The main ingredient is the generalization of the classical Strichartz estimates. Additionally, we justify rigorously the formal limit described abo...

Multisoliton solutions are derived for a general nonlinear Schrödinger equation with derivative by using Hirota's approach. The dynamics of one-soliton solution and two-soliton interactions are also illustrated. The considered equation can reduce to nonlinear Schrödinger equation with derivative as well as the solutions.

In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann method for convectiondiffusion equation with source term is applied directly to solve some important nonlinear complex equations, including nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, coupled NLS equations, Klein-Gordon equation and coupled Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations, by using complex-valued distribution function and relaxation time. Detailed simulations o...

We investigate the dynamical behavior of continuous and discrete Schrödinger systems exhibiting parity-time (PT) invariant nonlinearities. We show that such equations behave in a fundamentally different fashion than their nonlinear Schrödinger counterparts. In particular, the PT-symmetric nonlinear Schrödinger equation can simultaneously support both bright and dark soliton solutions. In additi...

We justify the use of the lattice equation (the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation) for the tight-binding approximation of stationary localized solutions in the context of a continuous nonlinear elliptic problem with a periodic potential. We rely on properties of the Floquet band-gap spectrum and the Fourier–Bloch decomposition for a linear Schrödinger operator with a periodic potential. S...
