Damped double solitons in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation

Journal Article · · Phys. Fluids; (United States)
OSTI ID:6349048
The nonlinear Schroedinger equation modified by a damping term is investigated numerically for initial conditions other than single solitons. With damping, colliding solitons still pass through each other, but the breather can change qualitatively into two continuously interacting but separated solitons. These results are consistent with a slow change in the inverse scattering eigenvalues due to the damping.
