WKB Approximation of the Nonlinear Schrödinger-Newton Equations

چکیده
In this paper we present a WKB approximation for sphericallysymmetric solutions of the Schrödinger-Newton equations. These are nonlinear modifications of the ordinary Schrödinger equation involving gravitational selfinteraction of the wavefunction. Applying the WKB procedure leads to two different nonlinear differential equations for the gravitational potential U for positive and negative values of U . Both equations can be solved analytically. The corresponding wavefunctions that are regular within the neighbourhood of the turning point are calculated and compared to the numerical solutions. In the last section the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues is derived by aid of a modified Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule.

A uniform approximation method to solve absolute value equation
In this paper, we propose a parametric uniform approximation method to solve NP-hard absolute value equations. For this, we uniformly approximate absolute value in such a way that the nonsmooth absolute value equation can be formulated as a smooth nonlinear equation. By solving the parametric smooth nonlinear equation using Newton method, for a decreasing sequence of parameters, we can get the ...

We derive a determinant formula for the WKB exponential of singularly perturbed Zakharov-Shabat system that corresponds to the semiclassical (zero dispersion) limit of the focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The derivation is based on the RiemannHilbert Problem (RHP) representation of the WKB exponential. We also prove its independence of the branchpoints of the corresponding hyperelliptic...

The spline collocation method is employed to solve a system of linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations. The solutions are collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula. We obtain the unique solution for linear and nonlinear system $(nN+3n)times(nN+3n)$ of integro-differential equations. This approximation reduces th...
