Computing wave functions of nonlinear Schrödinger equations: a time-independent approach (Q2456681)

The authors propose a continuation method for the calculation of eigenfunctions for a system of coupled Schrödinger equations with quadratic potential and cubic nonlinearities, the Gross-Pitaevskii equations, on the unit disc. The continuation starts at the bifurcation given by an eigenvalue of the corresponding linear problem, and it proceeds by varying the chemical potential.
