For the stationary nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $-\Delta u+ V(x)u- f(u) = \lambda u$ with periodic potential $V$ we study the existence and stability properties of multibump solutions with prescribed $L^2$-norm. To this end we introduce…

We study modulational instability in a dispersion-managed system where the sign of the group-velocity dispersion is changed at uniformly distributed random distances around a reference length. An analytical technique is presented to…

It is shown how to compute the instability rates for the double-periodic solutions to the cubic NLS (nonlinear Schrodinger) equation by using the Lax linear equations. The wave function modulus of the double-periodic solutions is periodic…

Recently, Galley [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 110}, 174301 (2013)] proposed an initial value problem formulation of Hamilton's principle applied to non-conservative systems. Here, we explore this formulation for complex partial differential…

Spatially periodic breather solutions (SPBs) of the nonlinear Schr\"o\-dinger (NLS) equation are frequently used to model rogue waves and are typically unstable. In this paper we study the effects of dissipation and higher order…

The nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation is a fundamental model for the nonlinear propagation of light pulses in optical fibers. We consider an integrable generalization of the NLS equation which was first derived by means of…

We demonstrate the systematic derivation of a class of discretizations of nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger (NLS) equations for general polynomial nonlinearity whose stationary solutions can be found from a reduced two-point algebraic condition. We…

We study a system of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations that emerge in optical media with a $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinearity. This nonlinearity, whose local strength is subject to a cusp-shaped spatial modulation, $\chi^{(2)}\sim…

The Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation (NLSE) with a random potential is motivated by experiments in optics and in atom optics and is a paradigm for the competition between the randomness and nonlinearity. The analysis of the NLSE with a…
