Vortex Splitting in Subcritical Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
Vortices and axisymmetric vortex rings are considered in the framework of the subcritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The higher order nonlinearity present in such systems models many-body interactions in superfluid systems and allows one to study the effects of negative pressure on vortex dynamics. We find the critical pressure for which the straight-line vortex becomes unstable to radial expansion of the core. The energy of the straight-line vortices and energy, impulse and velocity of vortex rings are calculated. The effect of a varying pressure on the vortex core is studied. It is shown that under the action of the periodically varying pressure field a vortex ring may split into many vortex rings and the conditions for which this happens are elucidated. These processes are also relevant to experiments in BoseEinstein condensates where the strength and the sign of two-body interactions can be changed via Feshbach resonance.

Subcritical Scattering for Defocusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
We survey some known results concerning the asymptotic behavior of solutions to defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations. In particular, we discuss the H1 scattering theory for intercritical NLS, as well as the scattering theory in weighted spaces for the mass-subcritical case. We also discuss an instance of modified scattering in the long-range case.
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Vortex Standing Waves for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
We study standing wave solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations, on a manifold with a rotational symmetry, which transform in a natural fashion under the group of rotations. We call these vortex solutions. They are higher dimensional versions of vortex standing waves that have been studied on the Euclidean plane. We focus on two types of vortex solutions, which we call spherical vortices an...
متن کاملNumerical Methods for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Nonzero Far-field Conditions
In this paper we present numerical methods for the nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) in the semiclassical regimes: iε uεt = − ε 2 ∆u + V (x)u + f(|u|)u, x ∈ R, with nonzero far-field conditions. A time-splitting cosine-spectral (TS-Cosine) method is presented when the nonzero far-field conditions are or can be reduced to homogeneous Neumann conditions, a time-splitting Chebyshev-spectral (T...
متن کاملAsymptotic stability of ground states in 2D nonlinear Schrödinger equation including subcritical cases
We consider a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations in two space dimensions with an attractive potential. The nonlinearity is local but rather general encompassing for the first time both subcritical and supercritical (in L) nonlinearities. We study the asymptotic stability of the nonlinear bound states, i.e. periodic in time localized in space solutions. Our result shows that all solutions ...
متن کاملError Analysis of High-order Splitting Methods for Nonlinear Evolutionary Schrödinger Equations and Application to the Mctdhf Equations in Electron Dynamics
In this work, the error behaviour of high-order exponential operator splitting methods for the time integration of nonlinear evolutionary Schrödinger equations is investigated. The theoretical analysis utilises the framework of abstract evolution equations on Banach spaces and the formal calculus of Lie derivatives. The general approach is substantiated on the basis of a convergence result for ...
