  • Background & Overview

    Physical Origin of DNLS

    Weakly nonlinear Alfven waves in plasma physics, in a long wavelength approximation, are governed by

    it + i(||2

    )x

    + xx = 0

    where = y + iz is the magnetic field in the transverse direction

    Self-steepening optical pulses can be modeled by

    it + i ||2x + xx = 0

    where represents the dimensionless, complex valued, slowly varyingenvelope of the electric field (CLLE)

    gDNLS has not (yet) appeared in a physical model

  • Background & Overview

    Integrability

    Cubic DNLS equation is completely integrable, Kaup-Newell (1978)

    Orbitally stable solitons in modulated H1, Colin-Ohta (2006)

    An L2 critical integrable equation

    Scaling

    Given a solution (x , t)

    (x , t) = 1

    2(x , 2t) (4)

    is also a solution

    Norm Scaling

    L2 based Sobolev norms scale as

    Hs = s+ 1

    2 (11)Hs (5)

    The scale invariant Sobolev norm, Hsc = Hsc , is

    sc =12

    Pick the location of the mesh,

    xmin = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . < xN < xN+1 = xmax (27)

    such that xi+1xi

    1 + |x |2dx = Constant (28)

    Dynamic rescaling uniformly distributes mesh points near singularity

    Boundary conditions are better handled no longer computing justnear the singularity

    Modified equation

    ius + i(s)|u|2ux + (s)uxx = 0 (30)

    Singularity moved to s , but spatial scale unchanged.

    Adaptive Algorithm

    Strang splitting of hyperbolic & dispersive piece:

    Hyperbolic: ius + i(s)|u|2ux = 0 (31)Dispersive: ius + (s)uxx = 0 (32)

    Hyperbolic piece solved exactly in Lagrangian coordinates by methodfo characteristics

    Dispersive piece solved by Crank-Nicolson time stepping with finiteelement discretization & simple Dirichlet conditions

    Mesh adapted to satisfy equal arc length constraint
