Spectral stability of periodic NLS and CGL solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider periodic traveling wave solutions to the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) that have been shown to persist when the NLS is perturbed to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL). In particular, we show that these periodic traveling waves are spectrally stable solutions of NLS with respect to periodic perturbations. Furthermore, we use an argument based on the Fredholm alternative to find an instability criterion for the persisting solutions to CGL.

Spectral stability analysis for periodic traveling wave solutions of NLS and CGL perturbations
We consider cnoidal traveling wave solutions to the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) that have been shown to persist when the NLS is perturbed to the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGL). We show that while these periodic traveling waves are spectrally stable solutions of NLS with respect to periodic perturbations, they are unstable with respect to bounded perturbations. Furtherm...
متن کاملStability of bright solitary-wave solutions to perturbed nonlinear Schr6dinger equations
The propagation of pulses in ideal nonlinear optical fibers without loss is governed by the nonlinear Schrrdinger equation (NLS). When considering realistic fibers one must examine perturbed NLS equations, with the particular perturbation depending on the physical situation that is being modeled. A common example is the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL), which is a dissipative perturbation...
متن کاملExistence and stability of standing hole solutions to complex Ginzburg–Landau equations
We consider the existence and stability of the hole, or dark soliton, solution to a Ginzburg–Landau perturbation of the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS), and to the nearly real complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGL). By using dynamical systems techniques, it is shown that the dark soliton can persist as either a regular perturbation or a singular perturbation of that which exists...
متن کاملStability of small periodic waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation possesses three distinct six-parameter families of complexvalued quasi-periodic travelling waves, one in the defocusing case and two in the focusing case. All these solutions have the property that their modulus is a periodic function of x−ct for some c ∈ R. In this paper we investigate the stability of the small amplitude travelling waves, both in the defocus...
متن کاملInstabilities of one-dimensional trivial-phase solutions of the two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation
The two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) is used as a model of a wide variety of physical phenomena. In this paper, we study the stability of a class of its one-dimensional, periodic, traveling-wave solutions. First, we establish that all such solutions are unstable with respect to two-dimensional perturbations with long wavelengths in the transverse dimension. Second, we ...
