On Discretizations of the Vector Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two discretizations of the vector nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation are studied. One of these discretizations, referred to as the symmetric system, is a natural vector extension of the scalar integrable discrete NLS equation. The other discretization, referred to as the asymmetric system, has an associated linear scattering pair. General formulae for soliton solutions of the asymmetric system are presented. Formulae for a constrained class of solutions of the symmetric system may be obtained. Numerical studies support the hypothesis that the symmetric system has general soliton solutions. PACS Numbers: 03.40.Kf, 46.10+z, 42.81.Dp, 42.81.Gs

Integrable discretizations of derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations
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...
متن کاملMulti-symplectic Fourier Pseudospectral Method for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
Abstract. Bridges and Reich suggested the idea of multi-symplectic spectral discretization on Fourier space [4]. Based on their theory, we investigate the multi-symplectic Fourier pseudospectral discretization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on real space. We show that the multi-symplectic semi-discretization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with periodic boundary conditions ha...
متن کاملA note on the integrable discretization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
We revisit integrable discretizations for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation due to Ablowitz and Ladik. We demonstrate how their main drawback, the non-locality, can be overcome. Namely, we factorise the non-local difference scheme into the product of two local ones. This must improve the performance of the scheme in the numerical computations dramatically. Using the equivalence of the Ablowitz...
متن کاملTranslationally invariant nonlinear Schrödinger lattices
Persistence of stationary and traveling single-humped localized solutions in the spatial discretizations of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is addressed. The discrete NLS equation with the most general cubic polynomial function is considered. Constraints on the nonlinear function are found from the condition that the second-order difference equation for stationary solutions can be redu...
متن کاملSingularly Perturbed Vector and Scalar Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Persistent Homoclinic Orbits
Singularly perturbed vector nonlinear Schrödinger equations (PVNLS) are investigated. Emphasis is placed upon the relation with their restriction: The singularly perturbed scalar nonlinear Schrödinger equation (PNLS) studied in [10]. It turns out that the persistent homoclinic orbit for the PNLS [10] is the only one for the PVNLS, asymptotic to the same saddle.
