Hamiltonian bifurcations of the spatial structure for coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations (Q1199304): Difference between revisions

The author studies infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems fixing not the spatial structure of the solution set (as usual) but the temporal structure. In this case the evolution equation in space is constructed and shown to be Hamiltonian, its basic properties appear to be related to the fluxes of energy and momentum of the time-dependent problem. Then the Hamiltonian bifurcation theory is used to analyse the spatial Hamiltonian system. A coupled pair of nonlinear Schrödinger equations is considered as a model example. The results connected with spatial bifurcations and temporal stability, spatially periodic travelling waves, gauge fluxes, etc. are obtained.
