We study equilibrium time correlations for the discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on a one-dimensional lattice and unravel three dynamical regimes. There is a high temperature regime with density and energy as the only two conserved…

In the present work we focus on the cases of two-site (dimer) and three-site (trimer) configurations, i.e. oligomers, respecting the parity-time (PT) symmetry, i.e., with a spatially odd gain-loss profile. We examine different types of…

We introduce a ladder-shaped chain with each rung carrying a $\mathcal{PT}$ -symmetric gain-loss dipole. The polarity of the dipoles is staggered along the chain, meaning that a rung bearing gain-loss is followed by one bearing loss-gain.…

The fractional discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (fDNLS) is studied on a periodic lattice from the analytic and dynamic perspective by varying the mesh size $h>0$ and the nonlocal L\'evy index $\alpha \in (0,2]$. We show that the…

We prove finite time supercritical blowup in a parity-time-symmetric system of the two coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equations. One of the equations contains gain and the other one contains dissipation such that strengths of the…

We examine a fractional version of the discrete Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (dnls) equation, where the usual discrete laplacian is replaced by a fractional discrete laplacian. This leads to the replacement of the usual nearest-neighbor…
