Stability of waves in discrete systems

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider differential-difference equations and construct the (discretized) Evans function \(E(\lambda)\), which is analytic in \(\lambda\), equal zero on eigenvalues and such that the order of zero gives the multiplicity of eigenvalue. This is used in considerations of the discretized nonlinear Schrödinger equation \(i\partial_t q_n + \Delta_2 q_n - \omega q_n + 2 |q_n|^2 q_n =0\) to investigate stability of the associated waves. In a similar vein stability of waves for the discretized sine-Gordon equation \(\partial_t^2 q_n = \Delta_2 q_n - sin(q_n)\) is also established.
