چکیده
Small-amplitude excitations in a deformable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. A detailed analysis of the small-amplitude solutions of a deformed discrete nonlin-ear Schrödinger equation is performed. For generic deformations the system possesses " singular " points which split the infinite chain in a number of independent segments. We show that small-amplitude dark solitons in the vicinity of the singular points are described by the Toda-lattice equation while away from the singular points are described by the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Depending on the value of the deformation parameter and of the background level several kinds of solutions are possible. In particular we delimit the regions in the parameter space in which dark solitons are stable in contrast with regions in which bright pulses on nonzero background are possible. On the boundaries of these regions we find that shock waves and rapidly spreading solutions may exist.

We show that nonlinear tight-binding lattices of different geometries and dimensionalities, display an universal selftrapping behavior. First, we consider the single nonlinear impurity problem in various tight-binding lattices, and use the Green's function formalism for an exact calculation of the minimum nonlinearity strength to form a stationary bound state. For all lattices, we find that thi...

We derive large-amplitude collective equations of motion from the variational principle for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. These equations reduce to the well-known diabatic formulas for vibrational frequencies in the small amplitude limit. The finite amplitude expression allows departures from harmonic behavior of giant resonances to be simply estimated. The relative shift of the seco...

In this paper we discuss in detail the nonlinear equations of the mean–field approximation and their connection to the exact many–body Schrödinger equation. Then we analyze the mean–field approach and the nonlinear dynamics of a trapped condensate of weakly–interacting bosons.

The method of multiscale analysis is constructed for dicrete systems of evolution equations for which the problem is that of the far behavior of an input boundary datum. Discrete slow space variables are introduced in a general setting and the related finite differences are constructed. The method is applied to a series of representative examples: the Toda lattice, the nonlinear Klein-Gordon ch...
