Abstract: We investigate the dynamics of an effectively one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with scattering length $a$ subjected to a spatially periodic modulation, $a=a(x)=a(x+L)$. This "collisionally inhomogeneous" BEC is described by a Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation whose nonlinearity coefficient is a periodic function of $x$. We transform this equation into a GP equation with constant coefficient $a$ and an additional effective potential and study a class of extended wave solutions of the transformed equation. For weak underlying inhomogeneity, the effective potential takes a form resembling a superlattice, and the amplitude dynamics of the solutions of the constant-coefficient GP equation obey a nonlinear generalization of the Ince equation. In the small-amplitude limit, we use averaging to construct analytical solutions for modulated amplitude waves (MAWs), whose stability we subsequently examine using both numerical simulations of the original GP equation and fixed-point computations with the MAWs as numerically exact solutions. We show that "on-site" solutions, whose maxima correspond to maxima of $a(x)$, are significantly more stable than their "off-site" counterparts.
