چکیده
We investigate the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a time-dependent nonlinear coefficient. By means of Painlevé analysis we establish the integrability for a particular form of the nonlinear coefficient. The corresponding soliton solution is shown to be of the self-similar kind. We discuss the implications of the result to the dynamics of attractive Bose–Einstein condensates under Feshbach-managed nonlinearity and explore the possibility of a managed self-similar evolution in 1D condensates. 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Integrable NLS equation with time-dependent nonlinear coefficient and self-similar attractive BEC
We investigate the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with a timedependent nonlinear coefficient. By means of Painlevé analysis we establish the integrability of a particular case, when the nonlinear coefficient decays with t. The corresponding soliton solution is shown to be of the self-similar kind. We discuss implications of the result to the dynamics of attractive Bose-Einstein condensates unde...
متن کاملAn integrable time-dependent non-linear Schrödinger equation
The cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLS), where the coefficient of the non-linear term can be a function F (t, x), is shown to pass the Painlevé test of Weiss, Tabor, and Carnevale only for F = (a+ bt), where a and b constants. This is explained by transforming the time-dependent system into the ordinary NLS (with F = const.) by means of a time-dependent non-linear transformation, relate...
متن کاملIntegrable 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 کاملBright Solitons in Bose-Einstein Condensates
It is a well-known fact that the interplay of nonlinearity and dispersion leads to the appearance of localized wavepackets moving without distortion. When the interaction between atoms is attractive (resp. repulsive), bright (resp. dark) solitons can be generated in BEC. Note that the term soliton is usually reserved to the localized solution of an integrable system [1]. Elastic scattering is a...
متن کاملThe variable-coefficient non-linear Schrödinger equation and the conformal properties of non-relativistic space-time
The cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation where the coefficient of the non-linear term can be a function F (t, x), is shown to pass the Painlevé test of Weiss, Tabor, and Carnevale only for F = (a+ bt)−1, where a and b are constants. This is explained by transforming the time-dependent system into the constant-coefficient NLS by means of a time-dependent non-linear transformation, related to th...
