The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is of tremendous interest in both theory and applications. Various regimes of pulse propagation in optical fibers are modeled by some form of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In this paper we introduce sequential and parallel numerical methods for numerical simulations of the 1+ 2 dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger type equations. The parallel methods are im...

Abstract. In the present paper we are concerned with the Novikov–Veselov equation at negative energy, i.e. with the (2+1)–dimensional analog of the KdV equation integrable by the method of inverse scattering for the two–dimensional Schrödinger equation at negative energy. We show that the solution of the Cauchy problem for this equation with non–singular scattering data behaves asymptotically a...

We consider fully discrete schemes for the one dimensional linear Schrödinger equation and analyze whether the classical dispersive properties of the continuous model are presented in these approximations. In particular Strichartz estimates and the local smoothing of the numerical solutions are analyzed. Using a backward Euler approximation of the linear semigroup we introduce a convergent sche...

A systematic procedure to study one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent effective mass (PDEM) in the kinetic energy operator is explored. The conventional free-particle problem reveals an interesting situation in that, in the presence of a mass background, formation of bound states is signalled. We also discuss coordinate-transformed, constant-mass Schrödinger equation, i...

Evolution PDEs for dispersive waves are considered in both linear and nonlinear integrable cases, and initial-boundary value problems associated with them are formulated in spectral space. A method of solution is presented, which is based on the elimination of the unknown boundary values by proper restrictions of the functional space and of the spectral variable complex domain. Illustrative exa...

We consider a nonlinear partial differential equation for complexvalued functions which is related to the two-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation and enjoys many properties similar to those of the ordinary differential Riccati equation as, e.g., the famous Euler theorems, the Picard theorem and others. Besides these generalizations of the classical “one-dimensional” results we discuss n...

In this paper we use a similarity transformation connecting some families of Nonlinear Schrödinger equations with time-varying coefficients with the autonomous cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This transformation allows one to apply all known results for that equation to the original non-autonomous case with the additional dynamics introduced by the transformation itself. In particular, us...

In this article, nonlinear propagation of envelope gravity waves is studied in baroclinic atmosphere. The classical (2 + 1) dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation can be derived by using the multiple-scale, perturbation method. Further, via the semi-inverse method, the Euler–Lagrange equation and Agrawal’s method, the time–space fractional (2 + 1) dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (FN...

We study the traveling waves of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in dimension one. Through various model cases, we show that for nonlinearities having the same qualitative behaviour as the standard Gross-Pitaevkii one, the traveling waves may have rather different properties. In particular, our examples exhibit multiplicity or nonexistence results, cusps (as for the Jones-Roberts curve in the...

In this paper we consider the Moutard transformation [9] which is a twodimensional version of the well-known Darboux transformation. We give an algebraic interpretation of the Moutard transformation as a conjugation in an appropriate ring and the corresponding version of the algebro-geometric formalism for two-dimensional Schrödinger operators. An application to some problems of the spectral th...
