Preface We have been involved for the past two decades with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and its many variations including NLSE with higher-order terms, two- and three-dimensional NLSE, discrete NLSE, nonlocal NLSE, and coupled NLSEs. We noticed that, throughout the long history of NLSE, a large number of exact analytical solutions have been found and the number is still increasing as new solutions are being sought and discovered. As the basis for theoretical models of various research fields such as Bose–Einstein condensates of ultracold gases, nonlinear optics, and deep water waves, this equation is a subject of interest by the scientific communities in all three areas. Its known solutions are scattered in the literature 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 our effort towards serving the research communities involved with the NLSE in the different fields by collecting all known solutions in one document. In addition, the book organizes the solutions by classifying and grouping them based on the aspects and symmetries they have. Although most of the solutions presented in this book have been derived elsewhere using various methods, we attempt here to present a systematic derivation of many solutions and even have derived some new ones. We 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, we provide Mathematica note books (available online at https://iopscience.iop.org/ book/978-0-7503-2428-1) containing all solutions in a one-to-one correspondence with the solutions in the text. The reader can run the Mathematica cell and see for themselves that it indeed satisfies the NLSE. This is also an efficient method for detecting and avoiding possible typo mistakes in the text. A large number of figures and animations are included to help visualize solutions and their dynamics. We have applied the following rules while collecting the solutions from the literature: (1) It has to be NLSE-related. As a result of this restriction, some interesting equations have been excluded such as the nonlinear Dirac equation, which we may consider in a future edition. (2) It has to satisfy the NLSE. We attempted to fix typo errors whenever it was obvious, but normally we did not invest much time in discovering what is wrong in the solution that does not satisfy the NLSE. (3) It has to be analytical. This excludes all numerical solutions. Some NLSEs do not admit analytical solutions but do have important stable numerical solutions such as in the case of two-dimensional and discrete NLSEs. Nonetheless, and in order to set a well-defined scope, we restrict our book to analytical solutions. We made our best effort to cite the reference where the solution appeared first. Quite often, however, solutions were either rederived in a later reference and put in a

different form, or were derived under different conditions. We cite the reference that we copied the solution from although a different variation of the solution may have appeared earlier. We do not claim any credit for the solutions collected, and we apologize for any citation mistake and for missing any solution. It should be mentioned that the solutions presented in this book have been the subject of study by a very large number of references. However, and as mentioned above, we cite only references that we copied the solutions from giving priority to any reference containing a large number of solutions. Due to the fact that we employed scaling transformations and symmetry reductions, many solutions published in the literature were not presented; the reader can reproduce those solutions using the transformations and symmetry reductions presented here. We give numerous examples on such cases. We should be grateful, however, if readers would draw our attention to any missing solutions. We also welcome criticism and comments hoping that they will lead to an enhanced second edition.

Chapter 1 Introduction

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is known in the literature, most commonly, with the following dimensionless form

iψt +

1 ψ + σ∣ψ ∣2 ψ = 0, 2 xx

(1.1)

where σ is a real constant, ψ = ψ (x , t ) is a complex function, and the subscripts are partial derivatives in terms of its two independent variables, x and t. It is the basis for theoretical models describing three major fields, namely: Bose–Einstein condensates of ultracold gases [1], nonlinear optics in fibers and waveguide arrays [2], and deep water waves [3]. In Bose–Einstein condensates, which is a quantum system, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is the classical field limit of the analogous quantized field equation. The function ψ (x , t ) is the wave function of the macroscopic manyparticle system. To realize Bose–Einstein condensation, a confining (trapping) magnetic and optical potential is needed. This is accounted for by adding a potential term, V (x )ψ (x , t ), to the NLSE that then becomes the Gross–Pitaevskii equation [4, 5]. The nonlinear term corresponds to the interatomic interaction known as the Hartree–Fock energy with σ being proportional to the s-wave scattering length. The sign of σ can be both positive and negative, corresponding to attractive or repulsive interatomic interactions, respectively. The dispersion term corresponds to the kinetic energy pressure [1]. In nonlinear optics, the NLSE describes the propagation of pulses in nonlinear media such as optical fibers, photonic crystals, or waveguide arrays. It can be derived from Maxwell’s equations with ψ (x , t ) corresponding to the envelope of modulated electrical (or magnetic) field strength of the propagating pulse [6, 7]. The nonlinear term corresponds to the modulation of the refractive index of the medium as a response to the propagating light pulse, which is known in the nonlinear optics

community as the Kerr nonlinearity. The constant σ represents, in this case, the strength of the Kerr nonlinearity, which can also be positive or negative, leading to the focusing or defocusing NLSE, respectively. Here, the term ψxx corresponds to the dispersion of the pulse [2]. The NLSE describes also surface water waves where ψ (x , t ) corresponds to the intensity and phase of the waves. This description is restricted to deep water waves with a wavelength much smaller than the water depth. Shallow water waves are not described by the NLSE. The nonlinearity originates from the Bernoulli equation, its strength depends on the water depth, and it is always negative for deep water waves [3]. The above three examples suggest that the NLSE is a universal equation that describes the propagation of wave modulations in media with dispersion and nonlinearity. The NLSE is integrable and admits, in principle, an infinite number of independent solutions [8]. It was first solved by Zakharov and Shabat using the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST), which relies on associating the NLSE to a linear system of differential equations [9]. The system has been known since then as the Zakharov–Shabat system and the method was adopted to find other solutions of the NLSE and its variations. In general, the linear system is given in terms of a pair of matrices, known as the Lax pair, acting on an auxiliary field. The existence of a Lax pair establishes the integrability of a differential equation, at least within the Lax pair sense [10]. The IST is a powerful method for finding solutions of nonlinear differential equations [11]. It is distinguished among other methods by generating classes of an infinite hierarchy of solutions. It can also be used to exactly solve the nonlinear initial value problem for a given nonlinear differential equation. Many other methods of solving nonlinear differential equations have been applied to the NLSE. For the systematic derivations of solutions we present in this book, we use mainly the IST and separation of variables methods. There are many variations of the NLSE including NLSE with higher-order terms, NLSE in higher dimensions, NLSE with function coefficients and potential terms, coupled NLSEs, discrete NLSE, and nonlocal NLSE. It should be noted that we often refer to the NLSE and its variations simply by NLSE. Many of these variations turn out to be integrable and many others turn out to be related to the fundamental NLSE via some scaling transformations. All of these variations will be considered in this book. The book begins in chapter 2 with the fundamental NLSE. In this chapter we prefer to present solutions of NLSE with arbitrary constant coefficients a1 and a2 for dispersion and nonlinearity, respectively (see section 2.1). One may argue that this is not the ‘fundamental’ NLSE since with a simple scaling transformation, as shown in chapter 5, it transforms into another NLSE with no coefficients (iψt + ψxx + ∣ψ ∣2 ψ = 0), which may be more accurately denoted as the fundamental NLSE. This is indeed the case when a2 is real, but the scaling transformation does not work when a2 is complex. Therefore, by keeping the coefficients a1 and a2 explicitly in the NLSE, we will be able to consider solutions when the coefficients are complex. This chapter contains the largest number of solutions collected. The

solutions of this chapter can be used as a seed for transformations generating many solutions of other NLSEs in the subsequent chapters. The solutions can be categorized as: (i) stationary solutions of the form ψ (x , t ) = u(x )e iϕt , where u(x ) is a real function that can be localized or oscillatory and ϕ is a real constant, (ii) a class of breathers family, (iii) class of N-bright solitons, (iv) rational solutions that are fundamentally different from the breathers class. In chapter 3, we consider the NLSE with power law and dual power law nonlinearities. Here, the cubic nonlinearity of the fundamental NLSE is replaced first by a nonlinearity with general power, n, that is not restricted to integers. Then we consider an NLSE with two nonlinear terms; one with power n and another with power m, where again n and m are arbitrary real constants that do not have to be integers. In the first case we show, at the beginning of the chapter, that with a scaling transformation applied to stationary solutions, the NLSE with power law nonlinearity reduces to the fundamental NLSE, and thus all stationary solutions of chapter 2 lead to stationary solutions to the NLSE with power law nonlinearity. Many examples have been worked out explicitly. We could not find a similar transformation for the dual power law nonlinearity, but we have found 14 solutions for this case. In chapter 4, we consider the NLSE with higher-order terms. These include, following the nonlinear optics terminology: third-order dispersion, fourth-order dispersion, self-steepening, self-frequency shift, and power law nonlinearity. At the end, we consider an infinite hierarchy of integrable NLSEs. The first member of the hierarchy being the fundamental NLSE, the higher-order members turn out to comprise most of the known higher-order variations of the NLSE. Solutions to all member equations of the infinite hierarchy have been presented. In chapter 5, we present scaling transformations that reduce many variations of the NLSE to the fundamental one. These include transforming the NLSE with arbitrary constant coefficients to the one with no coefficients, transforming the NLSE with focusing (defocusing) nonlinearity to the NLSE with defocusing (focusing) nonlinearity, Galilean transformation to obtain movable solutions from static ones, transforming the NLSE with function coefficients and complex potential to the fundamental NLSE, and finally introducing a solution-dependent transformation where a seed solution is used to construct the transformation operator. The latter allowed for more possibilities including transforming an NLSE with constant coefficients and PT-symmetric potential to the fundamental NLSE. In chapter 6, we consider NLSE in higher dimensions. We start with a scaling transformation showing that an (N + 1)-dimensional NLSE, with N denoting the spatial dimensions and 1 denoting the temporal dimension, can be reduced to the onedimensional NLSE in terms of a reduced spatial variable. A Galilean transformation is then shown to apply where movable solutions of the (N + 1)-dimensional NLSE are obtained from the static solutions of the one-dimensional NLSE. An NLSE with mixed derivatives is also considered. Then, solutions of the (N + 1)-dimensional NLSE with power law and dual power law nonlinearities are presented. A scaling transformation of the (N + 1)-dimensional NLSE in polar coordinates is also worked out allowing one to consider solutions with cylindrical and spherical symmetries in

1-3

two- and three-dimensional geometries, respectively. At the end, we present our iterative power series method of obtaining convergent power series representations of the solutions. The method is applied here for nonintegrable cases such as some twoand three-dimensional NLSEs. In chapter 7, we consider the coupled NLSE. At first, we consider the fundamental coupled NLSE, known as the Manakov system. Being an integrable system, many solutions have been found and presented. Then, we show three simple symmetry reductions that transform the coupled NLSE to the scalar NLSE and symmetry reduction that transforms the vector NLSE (N-coupled NLSEs) to the Manakov system. Some interesting examples have been shown explicitly. We consider also a coupled system with additional linear coupling terms. A scaling transformation is performed to reduce this system to the fundamental Manakov system. Here, we found that, as a special case, one may obtain the solutions of a Manakov system from those of another Manakov system that differs in the values of the constant coefficients. Furthermore, one may obtain a solution of the Manakov system from another solution of the same system, which invokes the superposition principle known for linear differential equations. It is interesting to find such a principle applying for nonlinear differential equations. We have worked out explicitly a nontrivial example in this case. We have also considered a coupled system with additional complex coupling terms, which again with a scaling transformation was reduced to the fundamental Manakov system. Then, we consider the (N + 1)-dimensional coupled NLSEs. First, we show that, with a proper scaling transformation, this system reduces to the one-dimensional Manakov system. Then, we consider scaling transformations that reduce this system to the (N + 1)-dimensional scalar NLSE. Scaling transformations were then found for linear and nonlinear coupling, as mentioned above, but here generalized for (N + 1) dimensions. In chapter 8, we consider the discrete NLSE. The chapter starts with the discrete NLSE with saturable nonlinearity, which is integrable. Here, the solutions are classified into staggered and nonstaggered solutions. We show the transformation that links the two kinds of solutions. Then, we consider other types of nonlinearity including a general form of nonlinearity. Then, we considered the Ablowitz–Ladik equation, which is also integrable. Then, we consider an integrable discrete NLSE with cubic and quintic nonlinearities. A generalized discrete NLSE was then considered with many solutions satisfying the equation under some integrability conditions. Then, we consider coupled discrete NLSEs including the coupled Salerno equations and the coupled Ablowitz–Ladik equations. In chapter 9, we consider the nonlocal NLSE. We start with transformations that reduce the nonlocal NLSE to the fundamental NLSE. This is possible only for even or odd solutions in the variable x. Then, we consider coupled nonlocal NLSEs and reduce them to the local Manakov system. Then, we consider nonlocal coupled NLSEs with linear, nonlinear, and complex coupling. With scaling transformation, they are reduced to their local counterparts. Then, we consider the nonlocal discrete NLSE, nonlocal discrete coupled NLSEs, nonlocal Ablowitz–Ladik coupled system, and nonlocal NLSE with cubic and quintic nonlinearities. 1-4

Chapters 2 and 3 are supplemented by appendix A and appendix B, where we lay out detailed derivations of most of the solutions presented in these chapters. In appendix A, we follow the standard methods of solving differential equations in a systematic manner in order to account for all possible solutions. Appendix B explains the Lax pair and Darboux transformation method and gives a detailed derivation of the bright soliton and breather solutions. Chapter 5 is supplemented with appendix C where we show the detailed derivations of the scaling transformation. All chapters are started by a ‘glance’; a summary that helps the reader to easily navigate through the text. All of the solutions presented in the text are rewritten together with the NLSE they satisfy in a Mathematica notebook (available online at https://iopscience.iop. org/book/978-0-7503-2428-1). The reader can run the cells in the Mathematica notebook in order to verify that the solutions do indeed satisfy the NLSE. This minimizes any possible typo errors in the text. It is also convenient to have the solution typed in for those readers who want to use the solutions in their calculations. Verification of the solutions was possible at different levels of accuracy. Some solutions satisfy the NLSE with all variables and parameters unspecified. For some other solutions, Mathematica could not verify the solution in a reasonable time, therefore we set arbitrary values for the variables and parameters. Here we used only integers or ratios of integers. The verification is then obtained with the integer ‘0’ as a result of substituting the solution in the NLSE. This result is numerical but with infinite accuracy. For the rest of the solutions, Mathematica could not verify the solutions with infinite accuracy. In this case, we set numerical values for the parameters and variables with a chosen number of digits. The verification leads to a numerical zero with accuracy increasing when the number of digits is increased. Some readers may still want to verify the last two cases with unspecified values of the variables. In such cases they will need to wait longer. For example, with a typical personal computer one may have to wait 15 minutes to verify the two-bright-solitons solution with unspecified variables. There are many solutions that can be obtained from other solutions for some specific values of the parameters. For the reader to have quick and easy access to the solutions that they might be interested in, we present such solutions explicitly. This book can be considered as the nucleus of a growing collection of solutions to the NLSE and its various variations. The search for new solutions is an ongoing effort by many researchers. We believe that new solutions will continue to appear. Our book will be a suitable host and help one to keep track of the new solutions and classify them into their proper classes, if any. It will be also a useful reference to judge what is claimed a new solution. In addition, the scaling transformations presented in this book will be an efficient tool to reveal whether a new solution can be obtained from an existing solution with a simple transformation. They will be helpful to derive new solutions for some specific setups. We aim at monitoring the literature for the appearance of new solutions of the NLSE and plan to update the book frequently with future editions. Researchers and users of this book are invited to contribute by suggesting and pointing out new or even missing solutions so that we can incorporate them into future editions. 1-5

⎛ ⎞ 1 N−1 i Φt + a1 ⎜Φrr + Φr + 2 Φθθ ⎟ + a2 r N − 1 ∣Φ∣2 Φ = 0. ⎝ ⎠ r r

(6.52)

This is obtained from the previous section with the special choices: g1 = t , g2 = 1, g3 = 0, R = r . Remarks: 1. The angular term Φθθ /r 2 vanishes in 1D and 3D. 2. The prefactor r (1 − N )/2 in Φ diverges at r = 0 as r−1/2 and r−1 for 2D and 3D, respectively. This divergence may be removed with certain solutions of the fundamental NLSE, ψ , such as the tanh(r ) solution. Example 1. General Case Given

(6.72)

where λ , α , a0, and b0 are arbitrary real constants. The solution is obtained using an Iterative Power Series (IPS) method [1, 2], which is briefly described as follows: The function Z (r ) obeys the ordinary differential equation

⎡ ⎤ 1 α2 −λ Z (r ) + a1 ⎢Z ″(r ) + Z ′(r ) − 2 Z (r )⎥ + a2 Z 3(r ) = 0. ⎣ ⎦ r r

(6.73)

A convergent power series solution is obtained by the following algorithm: 1. Set initial values a0 and b0. 2. Expand Z (r ) in power series around the arbitrary real r0: Z (r ) = a 0 + b0 n (r − r0 ) + ∑ j =max2 cj (r − r0 ) j . 3. Substitute in (6.71) to obtain the recursion relation for cn in terms of a0 and b0. 4. Calculate Z(Δ) and Z′(Δ), where Δ = (r − r0 )/I , and I is an integer larger than 1. 5. Assign: a 0 = Z(Δ) and b0 = Z′(Δ). 6. Obtain cn in terms of a0 and b0. 7. Repeat steps 2–6 I times. 8. At the Ith step, a0 will correspond to the power series of Z.

(a) nodeless solution with a 0 = 1.1986644033, (b) single-node solution with a 0 = 1.4605146251, root at r = 1.46 , (c) double-node solution with a 0 = 1.6326670699 , roots at r = 1.17, 4.46, and (d) triple-node solution with a 0 = 1.7642003085, roots at r = 1.02, 3.75, 7.64 . IPS parameters used are: n max = 2 , I = 1700, and Δ = 0.01.

Solution (6.71) is obtained with I = 4, n max = 2, and for arbitrary a1, a2, λ , α , a0, and b0. 6.9.1 Family of Infinite Number of Localized Solutions Using the IPS method, described above, we tune the parameter a0 to obtain a family of infinite number of solutions differing by the number of nodes. In Figure 6.13, we present some plots showing the nodeless, single-node, double-node, and triple-node solutions of (6.73). Other parameters are fixed to b0 = 0, a1 = 1, a2 = 2, λ = 1, and α = 0.

c is an arbitrary constant of integration resulting from integrating the NLSE, as detailed below.

A.1.2 Detailed Derivations A.1.2.1 Real Coefficients The general solution to (2.1) can be written in the polar form:

ψ (x , t ) = Z e i ϕ ,

(A.1)

where Z = Z (x , t ) and ϕ = ϕ(x , t ) are real functions. Substituting (A.1) in the fundamental NLSE (2.1) generates its real and imaginary parts:

Re[Equation (2.1)]:

a2 Z 3 − Z ϕt − a1 Z ϕx2 + a1 Zxx = 0,

(A.2)

Zt + 2 a1 Zx ϕx + a1 Z ϕxx = 0,

(A.3)

and

Im[Equation (2.1)]:

where the subscripts indicate differentiation with respect to x and t. In the following, we take cases for Z and ϕ. Case A1:

Z (x , t ) = A0 ,

(A.4)

ϕ(x , t ) = ϕ(t ).

(A.5)

A-2

Handbook of Exact Solutions to the Nonlinear Schro¨dinger Equations

Substituting back into (A.2) and (A.3) leads to the following Re[Equation (2.1)] and Im[Equation (2.1)]:

A03 a2 − A0 ϕ′(t ) = 0,

Re[Equation (2.1)]:

Im[Equation (2.1)]:

0 = 0.

(A.6) (A.7)

Solving (A.6) for ϕ(t ) gives

ϕ(t ) = A02 a2 (t − t0) + ϕ0.

(A.8)

Substituting (A.4) and (A.8) back into (A.1) leads to solution (2.2). Case A2:

Z (x , t ) = A0 ,

(A.9)

ϕ(x , t ) = ϕ(x ).

(A.10)

Substituting back into (A.2) and (A.3) leads to the updated forms of Re[Equation (2.1)] and Im[Equation (2.1)]:

Re[Equation (2.1)]:

A03 a2 − A0 a1 ϕ′2 (x ) = 0,

(A.11)

A0 a1 ϕ″(x ) = 0.

(A.12)

Im[Equation (2.1)]: Solving (A.12) for ϕ(x ) gives

ϕ(x ) = A0

a2 (x − x0) + ϕ0. a1

(A.13)

Substituting (A.9) and (A.13) back into (A.1) leads to solution (2.3). Case A3:

Z (x , t ) = A0 ,

(A.14)

ϕ(x , t ) = ϕ(x , t ),

(A.15)

where A0 is an arbitrary real constant. Substituting back into (A.2) and (A.3) leads to the following Re[Equation (2.1)] and Im[Equation (2.1)]:

Re[Equation (2.1)]:

A03 a2 − A0 ϕt (x , t ) − A0 a1 ϕx2(x , t ) = 0,

Im[Equation (2.1)]:

A0 a1 ϕxx(x , t ) = 0.

(A.16) (A.17)

Solving (A.17) for ϕ(x , t ) leads to

ϕ(x , t ) = s1(t ) + (x − x0) s2(t ),

A-3

(A.18)

Handbook of Exact Solutions to the Nonlinear Schro¨dinger Equations

where s1(t ) and s2(t ) are real functions of t. Substituting back into (A.16), collecting coefficients of (x − x0 )0 and (x − x0 ), separately, and equating to zero, we obtain

(x − x0)0 :

A03 a2 − A0 a1 s22(t ) − A0 s1′(t ) = 0, (x − x0): −A0 s2′(t ) = 0.

(A.19) (A.20)

Solving (A.20) for s2(t ) reads

s2(t ) = A1.

(A.21)

Substituting this result in (A.19) and solving for s1(t ), we get

(

)

s1(t ) = A02 a2 − a1 A12 (t − t0) + ϕ0.

(A.22)

The form of ϕ(x , t ) in (A.18) will then be

(

)

ϕ(x , t ) = A1 (x − x0) + A02 a2 − a1 A12 (t − t0) + ϕ0.

(A.23)

Using (A.23) back into (A.1) leads to solution (2.4). Case A4:

Z (x , t ) = A(x ),

(A.24)

ϕ(x , t ) = ϕ0 ,

(A.25)

where A(x ) is a real function to be determined. Substituting back into (A.2) and (A.3) leads to the following new forms of Re[Equation (2.1)] and Im[Equation (2.1)]:

Re[Equation (2.1)]:

a2 A3(x ) + a1 A″(x ) = 0,

Im[Equation (2.1)]:

0 = 0.

(A.26) (A.27)

Employing the separation of variables method using the chain rule A′ (x ) dA ′ (x ) in (A.26), we get the following integral of the independent A″(x ) = dA(x ) variable x:

x − x0 =

∫

1 dA(x ), a2 4 A (x ) c− 2 a1

A(x ) =

(A.38)

ϕ(x , t ) = e−i [λ (t − t0) + ϕ0],

(A.39)

where A(x ) is a real function to be determined and λ is an arbitrary real constant. (2.1) takes the form

λ A(x ) + a1 A″(x ) + a2 A3(x ) = 0. Using the chain rule A″(x ) = independent variable x:

x − x0 =

Substituting (A.39) and (A.43) back into (A.1) leads to (2.10), where λ → −2 a1 A02. 2. The integral definition of the Jacobi sn(x , m ) elliptic function with modulus m is given by:

Appendix B Darboux Transformation: Single Soliton and Breather Solutions

B.1 Darboux Transformation The fundamental nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) to be solved is

i ut +

1 uxx + ∣u∣2 u = 0, 2

u = u(x , t ).

(B.1)

Darboux transformation applies only for linear differential equations. Therefore, this equation is associated with a linear system as follows. Consider the field

⎛ ψ1 ψ2 ⎞ Φ=⎜ ⎟, ⎝ ϕ1 ϕ2 ⎠

(B.2)

with all components being complex functions of x and t. Consider the linear (Zakharov–Shabat) system of differential equations in this field

Φx = U · Φ + J · Φ · Λ ,

(B.3)

Φt = V · Φ + i U · Φ · Λ + i J · Φ · Λ2 ,

(B.4)

where

⎛ ⎞ J = ⎜1 0 ⎟ , ⎝ 0 −1⎠

(B.7)

⎛λ 0 ⎞ Λ = ⎜ 1 ⎟. ⎝ 0 λ2 ⎠

(B.8)

The arbitrary complex constants, λ1,2, are called the spectral parameters. We refer to (B.3, B.4) as the Lax Pair (LP). It refers also sometimes to the matrices U and V. Link between NLSE and LP The compatability condition

Φxt = Φtx ,

(B.9)

requires

Ut − Vx + [U , V ] = 0,

(B.10)

where [U , V ] is the commutator of U and V. Substituting for U and V from (B.5, B.6), the compatibility condition reads

⎛ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎞ 1 1 − i ϕ2⎜i ut + uxx + ∣u∣2 u⎟ ⎟ ⎜ − i ϕ1⎜i ut + uxx + ∣u∣2 u⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ⎟ 2 2 ⎜ = 0. ⎜ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞⎟ 1 * 2 u*⎟ − i ψ ⎜ − i u * + 1 u * + ∣u∣2 u*⎟ * ⎜ − i ψ − i u + u + ∣ u ∣ ⎜ ⎟ t xx t xx 1 2 ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠⎠ 2 2 ⎝

(B.11)

Clearly, the compatibility condition is nothing but the NLSE and its complex conjugate; it requires that u is a solution to the NLSE and u* is a solution to the complex conjugate of the NLSE. This is the link between the NLSE and the linear system. Seed Solution For a given (seed) solution of the NLSE, namely u0, the linear system will have a solution Φ0. Darboux Transformation The Darboux Transformation is defined as

Φ[1] = Φ · Λ − σ Φ ,

(B.12)

σ = Φ0 · Λ · Φ0−1.

(B.13)

where

B-2

Handbook of Exact Solutions to the Nonlinear Schro¨dinger Equations

Here, Φ0 is a seed solution of the linear system for a given seed solution of the NLSE, Φ denotes any solution of the linear system, and Φ[1] is the transformed (new) solution of the linear system. We request that the LP, (B.3, B.4), is covariant under the Darboux transformation

Φ[1]x = U [1] · Φ[1] + J · Φ[1] · Λ ,

(B.14)

Φ[1]t = V [1] · Φ[1] + i U [1] · Φ[1] · Λ + i J · Φ[1] · Λ2 .

(B.15)

By substituting in this system for Φ[1] from (B.12) and using (B.5, B.6), the transformed LP U[1] and V [1], must satisfy

U [1] = U0 + [J , σ ],

(B.16)

V [1] = V0 + i [U0, σ ],

(B.17)

where U0 and V0 are the LP in terms of the seed solution. It should be noted that J and Λ are constant matrices and do not change under the Darboux transformation. The new solution, u[1], is obtained from the last equation by noting that

⎛ 0 u[1]⎞ U [1] = ⎜ ⎟ ⎝−u[1]* 0 ⎠ ⎛ 2(λ1 − λ2 )ψ1ψ2 ⎞ 0 ⎜ ⎟ ⎛ 0 u0⎞ φ1ψ2 − φ2ψ1 ⎟ ⎜ ⎜ ⎟ =⎜ ⎟+ ⎟, ⎝−u 0* 0 ⎠ ⎜ 2(λ1 − λ2 )φ1φ2 0 ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ φ1ψ2 − φ2ψ1 ⎠ V [1] =

2 u[1]x ⎞ i ⎛⎜∣u[1]∣ ⎟, 2 ⎜⎝ u[1]*x − ∣u[1]∣2 ⎟⎠

(B.18)

(B.19)

lead to a covariant compatibility condition

U [1]t − V [1]x + [U [1], V [1]] = 0.

(B.20)

This means that u[1] is a solution of the NLSE

i u[1]t +

1 u[1]xx + ∣u[1]∣2 u[1] = 0. 2

(B.21)

Thus, from the solution u to the NLSE, we obtained a new solution u[1] to the same NLSE. The new solution is extracted from (B.18) as

u[1] = u 0 +

2(λ1 − λ2 )ψ1 ψ2 , φ1 ψ2 − φ2 ψ1

together with its complex conjugate

u[1]* = u 0* −

2(λ1 − λ2 )φ1 φ2 . φ1 ψ2 − φ2 ψ1

(B.23)

The second term on the right hand side of the last two equations is called the Darboux dressing. Symmetry Reduction For a general seed the linear system reads x-equations:

ψ1x − u ϕ1 − λ1 ψ1 = 0,

(B.24)

ψ2 x − u ϕ2 − λ2 ψ2 = 0,

(B.25)

ϕ2 x + u* ψ2 + λ2 ϕ2 = 0.

(B.31)

Symmetry reduction: With the relations:

ϕ2* = ψ1,

(B.32)

ψ2* = −ϕ1,

(B.33)

λ2* = −λ1,

(B.34)

the linear system of eight equations reduces to four equations

ψ1x − u ϕ1 − λ1 ψ1 = 0,

(B.35)

ϕ1x + u* ψ1 + λ1 ϕ1 = 0,

(B.69)

with arbitrary real constant A, the general solution of the reduced linear system (B.65–B.68) is

where

ω=

(B.72)

and c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants. The seed solution of the linear system thus reads

⎛ ⎞ ψ1 c ϕ1*⎟ ⎜ Φ0 = , ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ϕ1 ψ1* ⎠

(B.73)

where the symmetry reductions (B.62–B.64) have been taken into account and ψ1 and ϕ1 are given by (B.70) and (B.71), respectively. The new solution, given formally by (B.16) and upon using the symmetry reduction conditions, now reads

u[1] = u 0 − 4i

c λ1r

ψ1 ϕ1* c ∣ϕ1∣2 − ∣ψ1∣2

(B.74)

where λ1r is the real part of λ1. The breather solution can be viewed at as a combination of two generalized solitons where each soliton has a localization component and an oscillatory component, both in x and t. This is verified by rewriting the breather solution as ⎡ ⎤ cos(ζ1 − i χ1)cos(ζ2 + i χ 2 ) 8λ1r c 3/2 2 u[1] = ⎢1 − i ⎥ × A e i A t , (B.75) A cos(2ζ1) − c cos(2ζ2 ) + cosh(2χ1) − c cosh(2χ 2 ) ⎦ ⎣

In addition to the arbitrary CW amplitude, A, there are four arbitrary parameters: x01, t01, λ1r , and λ1r : x01: sets the reference for x, t01: sets the reference for t, λ1r and λ1i set: α: width of localization in x, τ: width of localization in t, κ: frequency of oscillation in x, Ω: frequency of oscillation in t.

Note that x02 and t02, which correspond to the second generalized soliton, are not arbitrary as they are given in terms of the above four arbitrary parameters. Furthermore, since the four parameters α, τ, κ, and Ω, are given in terms of λ1r , and λ1i , only two out these four parameters are to be considered arbitrary while the other two are not. Any two of the four parameters can be chosen to be arbitrary.

Appendix C Derivation of the Similarity Transformations in Chapter 5

C.1 Function Coefficients Given the generalized NLSE (5.64)

we aim at transforming it to the fundamental NLSE

p(x , t )(i ψT + a1 ψXX + a2 ∣ψ ∣2 ψ ) = 0,

(C.2)

with the scaling (similarity) transformation

Φ(x , t ) = A(x , t ) e i B(x, t ) ψ [X (x , t ), T (x , t )],

(C.3)

where a1,2 are arbitrary real constants and b1,2(x , t ), b3r, i (x , t ), and p(x , t ) are arbitrary real functions. The unknown functions X (x , t ), T (x , t ), A(x , t ), and B (x , t ) are assumed to be real and need to be determined in terms of the function coefficients of the generalized NLSE and the constant coefficients of the fundamental NLSE. It is essential to have the function p(x , t ) since otherwise the transformation will restrict the coefficients b1,2(x , t ) to only time-dependent ones and consequently the potential b3r, i (x , t ) will be real and quadratic in x. Substituting (C.3) in (C.1) and requesting the result to take the form of the fundamental NLSE (C.2) gives

A b1 p Tx2 = 0, (from ψTT ),

The solution of this system is given by (6.43–6.50), and

p(r , t ) =

1 . A g1′

(C.10)

As a hint on the procedure of solving this system, one starts with solving (C.4) for T, then (C.5) for p, then (C.6) and (C.7) for b1 and b2, respectively, then the real part of (C.8) gives A while the imaginary part gives B, and finally, the real part of (C.9) is solved for b3r and the imaginary part of (C.9) is solved for b3i .

C.2 Solution-Dependent Transformation This is very similar to the previous case. The only difference is in the procedure of solving (C.8) and (C.9). While in the previous section we set the coefficient of ψ and ψX to zero separately, here we require the sum of the two terms to be zero, namely

[2b1 Ax Xx + A (i Xt + b1(2i Bx Xx + Xxx ))] ψ + ⎡⎣i At + b1 (2i Ax Bx + Axx )

(C.11)

+ A i b3i + b3r − Bt − b1 Bx2 − i Bxx ⎤⎦ ψX = 0.

(

))

The two procedures should both be valid since they lead to satisfying the generalized and fundamental NLSE. Solving the real part of the last equation for b3r and the imaginary part for b3i gives (5.83) and (5.84), respectively. The solutions of b1,2 , X, T, A, and B remain the same as in the previous case.

with the similarity transformation

Φ(r , t ) = A(r , t ) e i B(r, t ) ψ [R(r , t ), T (r , t )],

(C.14)

where a1,2 are arbitrary real constants and b1,2(r, t ), b3r (r, t ), b3i (r, t ), and p(r, t ) are arbitrary real functions. The unknown functions R(r, t ), T (r, t ), A(r, t ), and B (r, t ) are assumed to be real and need to be determined in terms of the function coefficients of the generalized NLSE and the constant coefficients of the fundamental NLSE. Substituting (C.14) in (C.12) and requesting the result to take the form of the fundamental NLSE (C.13) gives
