Modulated Amplitude Waves in Bose-Einstein Condensates
Abstract
We analyze spatio-temporal structures in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study the dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with mean-field interactions. A coherent structure ansatz yields a parametrically forced nonlinear oscillator, to which we apply Lindstedt's method and multiple-scale perturbation theory to determine the dependence of the intensity of periodic orbits (``modulated amplitude waves'') on their wave number. We explore BEC band structure in detail using Hamiltonian perturbation theory and supporting numerical simulations.
