Algorithm for solving a nonlinear differential equation with a linear entering of an eigenvalue (Q5947808)

The problem of femtosecond nonlinear optics is one of the actual problems of laser optics. Analytical solution of problems of propagation of femtosecond laser impulses plays an important part in testing programs and in some particular cases led to investigate properties of solutions. A spectral problem for a nonlinear equation of the form \[ i \lambda A + \nu \frac{dA}{dt} + i \frac{d^2 A}{dt^2} + i \alpha |A |^2 A + \alpha\gamma \frac{d}{dt}(|A |^2 A) = 0 \quad \tag{1} \] with boundary conditions \[ A(+1) = 0, \quad A(-1) = 0, \quad \tag{2} \] where \(\alpha\), \(\gamma\), \(\nu\) are real coefficients, \(\lambda\) is an eigenvalue is considered. A solution of the equation (1), (2) is presented in the form \[ A = R(t)e^{i(\varphi(t)+1/2\nu t)} \] and then the functions \(R(t)\) and \(\varphi (t)\) are found by the method of separation of variables.
