Abstract

In this chapter we consider what can happen when we try to compute a singular solution of the critical or supercritical NLS with a naive finite-difference scheme.

Notes

  1. 1.

    To avoid too many notations, \(\psi _{m}\) denotes both the solution of the NLS (30.2) at \(x_m\), and the solutions of the semi-discrete NLS (30.3) and (30.4).

  2. 2.

    Nevertheless, this “mild” anisotropy can lead to multiple filamentation in NLS simulations (Sect. 25.2).

  3. 3.

    To prove this inequality, simply consider separately the cases \(|\mathbf{w}| \le 1\) and \(|\mathbf{w}|> 1\).

  4. 4.

    These discrete norms are the composite trapezoidal rules for \(\Vert \psi \Vert _2\).

  5. 5.

    See Sects. 3.4.1, 26.3.2, and 36.8.1.

  6. 6.

    See Sect. 13.2 for the critical case and Chap. 21 for the supercritical case.

  7. 7.

    i.e., the numerical solution, computed with sufficiently refined grids in \(\mathbf{x}\) and \(z\).
