Handbook of Exact Solutions to the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout the long history of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), many exact analytical solutions have been found and they continue to grow as new solutions are being sought and discovered. As the basis for theoretical models in various research fields such as Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold gases, nonlinear optics and deep water waves, this equation is the subject of interest in various scientific communities. Accordingly, its known solutions are scattered in the literatures of the different fields. For a beginner, as well as for an expert researcher, it is difficult to keep track of the large number of known solutions. It is important for a researcher or a reviewer to know if a certain solution is a new solution, belongs to an existing class of solutions, or can be trivially obtained from another solution by a transformation.

This book is the result of years of work by the authors, looking to serve the research communities involved with the NLSE by collecting all known solutions in one resource. In addition, the book organizes the solutions by classifying and grouping them based on aspects and symmetries they possess. Although most of the solutions presented in this book have been derived elsewhere using various methods, the authors present a systematic derivation of many solutions and even include new derivations. They have also presented symmetries and reductions that connect different solutions through transformations and enable classifying new solutions into known classes.

For the user to verify that the presented solutions do satisfy the NLSE, this monumental work is accompanied by Mathematica notebooks containing all solutions. This work also features a large number of figures, and animations are included to help visualize solutions and their dynamics.
