Multisymplectic Integration of <i>n</I>-coupled Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation With Destabilized Periodic Wave Solutions

Abstract

N-coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation (N-CNLS) is shown to be in multisymplectic form. 3-CNLS equation is studied for analytical and numerical purposes. A new six-point scheme which is equivalent to the multisymplectic Preissman scheme is derived for 3-CNLS equation. A new periodic wave solution is obtained and its stability analysis is discussed. 3-CNLS equation is integrated for destabilized periodic solutions both for integrable and non-integrable cases by multisymplectic six-point scheme. Different kinds of evolutions are observed for different parameters and coefficients of the system. Numerical results show that, the multisymplectic six-point scheme has excellent local and global conservation properties in long-time computation. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
