MOL calculation of the solitons of the cubic Schroedinger equation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10160864
The cubic Schroedinger equation (CSE) is a complex (in the mathematical sense) nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) with a known analytical solution. Further, the solution consists of solitons (traveling waveforms that do not change shape with time or position) that are very sharp spatially. Thus the CSE is a stringent test problem for any numerical procedure. We report here the results of a method of lines (MOL) solution using second-derivative, finite-difference approximations for spatial second derivatives that accommodate Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions without approximation of the boundary conditions.
