In this paper, existence and uniqueness of the generalized global solution and the classical global solution to the initial value problem for a class of fourth-order nonlinear wave equations are studied in the fractional order Sobolev space using the contraction mapping principle and the extension theorem. The sufficient conditions for the blow up of the solution to the initial value problem are given.

Moreover, we discuss the formation conditions of the bright and dark solitary waves.

Two Energy-Preserving Compact Finite Difference Schemes for the Nonlinear Fourth-Order Wave Equation

In this paper,two fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are derived to solve the nonlinear fourth-order wave equation which can be viewed as a generalized model from the nonlinear beam equation.Differing from the existing compact finite difference schemes which preserve the total energy in a recursive sense,the new schemes are proved to per-fectly preserve the total energy in the discrete sense.By using the standard energy method and the cut-off function technique,the optimal error estimates of the numerical solutions are established,and the convergence rates are of O(h^(4)+τ^(2))with mesh-size h and time-step τ.In order to improve the computational efficiency,an iterative algorithm is proposed as the outer solver and the double sweep method for pentadiagonal linear algebraic equations is introduced as the inner solver to solve the nonlinear difference schemes at each time step.The convergence of the iterative algorithm is also rigorously analyzed.Several numerical results are carried out to test the error estimates and conservative properties.

A high-order accurate wavelet method for solving Schrdinger equations with general nonlinearity

A sampling approximation for a function defined on a bounded interval is proposed by combining the Coiflet-type wavelet expansion and the boundary extension technique. Based on such a wavelet approximation scheme, a Galerkin procedure is developed for the spatial discretization of the generalized nonlinear Schr6dinger （NLS） equa- tions, and a system of ordinary differential equations for the time dependent unknowns is obtained. Then, the classical fourth-order explicit Runge-Kutta method is used to solve this semi-discretization system. To justify the present method, several widely considered problems are solved as the test examples, and the results demonstrate that the proposed wavelet algorithm has much better accuracy and a faster convergence rate in space than many existing numerical methods.

Soliton and Rogue Wave Solution of the New Nonautonomous Nonlinear Schrdinger Equation

In this paper, a new type （or the second type） of transformation which is used to map the variable coefficient nonlinear Schr6dinger （VCNLS） equation to the usual nonlinear Schrodinger （NLS） equation is given. As a special case, a new kind of nonautonomous NLS equation with a t-dependent potential is introduced. Further, by using the new transformation and making full use of the known soliton and rogue wave solutions of the usual NLS equation, the corresponding kinds of solutions of a special model of the new nonautonomous NLS equation are discussed respectively. Additionally, through using the new transformation, a new expression, i.e., the non-rational formula, of the rogue wave of a special VCNLS equation is given analytically. The main differences between the two types of transformation mentioned above are listed by three items.

The symmetries, symmetry reductions, and exact solutions of a coupled nonlinear Schrodinger （CNLS） equation derived from the governing system for atmospheric gravity waves are researched by means of classical Lie group approach in this paper. Calculation shows the CNLS equation is invariant under some Galilean transformations, scaling transformations, phase shifts, and space-time translations. Some ordinary differential equations are derived from the CNLS equation. Several exact solutions including envelope cnoidal waves, solitary waves and trigonometric function solutions for the CNLS equation are also obtained by making use of symmetries.

Multi-Symplectic Splitting Method for Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

Using the idea of splitting numerical methods and the multi-symplectic methods, we propose a multisymplectic splitting （MSS） method to solve the two-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation （2D-NLSE） in this paper. It is further shown that the method constructed in this way preserve the global symplectieity exactly. Numerical experiments for the plane wave solution and singular solution of the 2D-NLSE show the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Exact periodic solution in coupled nonlinear Schodinger equations

The coupled nonlinear Schodinger equations （CNLSEs） of two symmetrical optical fibres are nonintegrable, however the transformed CNLSEs have integrability. Integrability of the transformed CNLSEs is proved by the Hamilton dynamics theory and Galilei transform. Making use of a transform for CNLSEs and using the ansatz with Jacobi elliptic function form, this paper obtains the exact optical pulse solutions.

In this article, a nonconforming quadrilateral element （named modified quasi- Wilson element） is applied to solve the nonlinear schrSdinger equation （NLSE）. On the basis of a special character of this element, that is, its consistency error is of order O（ha） for broken Ha-norm on arbitrary quadrilateral meshes, which is two order higher than its interpolation error, the optimal order error estimate and superclose property are obtained. Moreover, the global superconvergence result is deduced with the help of interpolation postprocessing technique. Finally, some numerical results are provided to verify the theoretical analysis.

HOMOGENIZATION FOR NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER EQUATIONS WITH PERIODIC NONLINEARITY AND DISSIPATION IN FRACTIONAL ORDER SPACES

We study the nonlinear SchrSdinger equation with time-oscillating nonlinearity and dissipation originated from the recent studies of Bose-Einstein condensates and optical systems which reads iψt＋△ψ＋Ф（ωt）｜ψ｜αψ＋iξ （ωt）ψ= 0. Under some conditions, we show that as ω→∞ , the solution ψω will locally converge to the solution of the averaged equation iψt＋△ψ＋Ф（ωt）｜ψ｜αψ＋iξ （ωt）ψ= 0 with the same initial condition in Lq（（0, T）, B-S/T,2） for all admissible pairs （q, r）, where T∈ （0, Tmax）. We also show that if the dissipation coefficient ξ0 large enough, then, ψω is global if w is sufficiently large and ψω converges to ψ in Lq（（0, ∞）, B-S/T,2）, for all admissible pairs （q, r）. In particular, our results hold for both subcritical and critical nonlinearities.

ORBITAL INSTABILITY OF STANDING WAVES FOR THE GENERALIZED 3D NONLOCAL NONLINEAR SCHR?DINGER EQUATIONS

The existence and orbital instability of standing waves for the generalized three- dimensional nonlocal nonlinear SchrSdinger equations is studied. By defining some suitable functionals and a constrained variational problem, we first establish the existence of standing waves, which relys on the inner structure of the equations under consideration to overcome the drawback that nonlocal terms violate the space-scale invariance. We then show the orbital instability of standing waves. The arguments depend upon the conservation laws of the mass and of the energy.

ON THE MODIFIED NONLINEAR SCHRDINGER EQUATION IN THE SEMICLASSICAL LIMIT:SUPERSONIC,SUBSONIC,AND TRANSSONIC BEHAVIOR

The purpose of this paper is to present a comparison between the modified nonlinear SchrSdinger （MNLS） equation and the focusing and defocusing variants of the （unmodified） nonlinear SchrSdinger （NLS） equation in the semiclassical limit. We describe aspects of the limiting dynamics and discuss how the nature of the dynamics is evident theoretically through inverse-scattering and noncommutative steepest descent methods. The main message is that, depending on initial data, the MNLS equation can behave either like the defocusing NLS equation, like the focusing NLS equation （in both cases the analogy is asymptotically accurate in the semiclassical limit when the NLS equation is posed with appropriately modified initial data）, or like an interesting mixture of the two. In the latter case, we identify a feature of the dynamics analogous to a sonic line in gas dynamics, a free boundary separating subsonic flow from supersonic flow.
