Multi-domain spectral approach to rational-order fractional derivatives

We propose a method to numerically compute fractional derivatives (or the fractional Laplacian) on the whole real line via Riesz fractional integrals. The compactified real line is divided into a number of intervals, thus amounting to a multi-domain approach; after transformations in accordance with the underlying $Z_{q}$ curve ensuring analyticity of the respective integrands, the integrals over the different domains are computed with a Clenshaw-Curtis algorithm. As an example, we consider solitary waves for fractional Korteweg-de Vries equations and compare these to results obtained with a discrete Fourier transform.

Spectral approach to Korteweg-de Vries equations on the compactified real line

We present a numerical approach for generalised Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations on the real line. In the spatial dimension we compactify the real line and apply a Chebyshev collocation method. The time integration is performed with an implicit Runge-Kutta method of fourth order. Several examples are discussed: initial data bounded but not vanishing at infinity as well as data not satisfying the Faddeev condition, i.e. with a slow decay towards infinity.

Large $|k|$ behavior of complex geometric optics solutions to d-bar problems

Complex geometric optics solutions to a system of d-bar equations appearing in the context of electrical impedance tomography and the scattering theory of the integrable Davey-Stewartson II equations are studied for large values of the spectral parameter $k$. For potentials $ q\in \langle \cdot \rangle^{-2} H^{s}(\mathbb{C}) $ for some $s \in]1,2]$, it is shown that the solution converges as the geometric series in $1/|k|^{s-1}$. For potentials $q$ being the characteristic function of a strictly convex open set with smooth boundary, this still holds with $s=3/2$ i.e., with $1/\sqrt{|k|}$ instead of $1/|k|^{s-1}$. The leading order controbutions are computed explicitly. Numerical simulations show the applicability of the asymptotic formulae for the example of the characteristic function of the disk.

Numerical study of Davey-Stewartson I systems

An efficient high precision hybrid numerical approach for integrable Davey-Stewartson (DS) I equations for trivial boundary conditions at infinity is presented for Schwartz class initial data. The code is used for a detailed numerical study of DS I solutions in this class. Localized stationary solutions are constructed and shown to be unstable against dispersion and blow-up. A finite-time blow-up of initial data in the Schwartz class of smooth rapidly decreasing functions is discussed.

Multidomain spectral approach with Sommerfeld condition for the Maxwell equations

We present a multidomain spectral approach with an exterior compactified domain for the Maxwell equations for monochromatic fields. The Sommerfeld radiation condition is imposed exactly at infinity being a finite point on the numerical grid. As an example, axisymmetric situations in spherical and prolate spheroidal coordinates are discussed.

Multi-domain spectral approach for the Hilbert transform on the real line

A multi-domain spectral method is presented to compute the Hilbert transform on the whole compactified real line, with a special focus on piece-wise analytic functions and functions with algebraic decay towards infinity. Several examples of these and other types of functions are discussed. As an application solitons to generalized Benjamin-Ono equations are constructed.

Numerical study of soliton stability, resolution and interactions in the 3D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in three spatial dimensions. The equation is a three-dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, though, not completely integrable. This equation is $L^2$-subcritical, and thus, solutions exist globally, for example, in the $H^1$ energy space. We first study stability of solitons with various perturbations in sizes and symmetry, and show asymptotic stability and formation of radiation, confirming the asymptotic stability result in \cite{FHRY2020} for a larger class of initial data. We then investigate the solution behavior for different localizations and rates of decay including exponential and algebraic decays, and give positive confirmation toward the soliton resolution conjecture in this equation. Finally, we investigate soliton interactions in various settings and show that there is both a quasi-elastic interaction and a strong interaction when two solitons merge into one, in all cases always emitting radiation in the conic-type region of the negative $x$-direction.

Large $|k|$ behavior of d-bar problems for domains with a smooth boundary

In a previous work on the large $|k|$ behavior of complex geometric optics solutions to a system of d-bar equations, we treated in detail the situation when a certain potential is the characteristic function of a strictly convex set with real-analytic boundary. We here extend the results to the case of sets with smooth boundary, by using almost holomorphic functions.

Numerical study of Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations in two dimensions

We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to the (generalized) Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in two spatial dimensions with various power nonlinearities. In the $L^{2}$-subcritical case, numerical evidence is presented for the stability of solitons and the soliton resolution for generic initial data. In the $L^2$-critical and supercritical cases, solitons appear to be unstable against both dispersion and blow-up. It is conjectured that blow-up happens in finite time and that blow-up solutions have some resemblance of being self-similar, i.e., the blow-up core forms a rightward moving self-similar type rescaled profile with the blow-up happening at infinity in the critical case and at a finite location in the supercritical case. In the $L^{2}$-critical case, the blow-up appears to be similar to the one in the $L^{2}$-critical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation with the profile being a dynamically rescaled soliton.

Numerical study of the transverse stability of the Peregrine solution

We generalise a previously published approach based on a multi-domain spectral method on the whole real line in two ways: firstly, a fully explicit 4th order method for the time integration, based on a splitting scheme and an implicit Runge--Kutta method for the linear part, is presented. Secondly, the 1D code is combined with a Fourier spectral method in the transverse variable both for elliptic and hyperbolic NLS equations. As an example we study the transverse stability of the Peregrine solution, an exact solution to the one dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and thus a $y$-independent solution to the 2D NLS. It is shown that the Peregrine solution is unstable against all standard perturbations, and that some perturbations can even lead to a blow-up for the elliptic NLS equation.

Numerical scattering for the defocusing Davey-Stewartson II equation for initial data with compact support

In this work we present spectral algorithms for the numerical scattering for the defocusing Davey-Stewartson (DS) II equation with initial data having compact support on a disk, i.e., for the solution of d-bar problems. Our algorithms use polar coordinates and implement a Chebychev spectral scheme for the radial dependence and a Fourier spectral method for the azimuthal dependence. The focus is placed on the construction of complex geometric optics (CGO) solutions which are needed in the scattering approach for DS. We discuss two different approaches: The first constructs a fundamental solution to the d-bar system and applies the CGO conditions on the latter. This is especially efficient for small values of the modulus of the spectral parameter $k$. The second approach uses a fixed point iteration on a reformulated d-bar system containing the spectral parameter explicitly, a price paid to have simpler asymptotics. The approaches are illustrated for the example of the characteristic function of the disk and are shown to exhibit spectral convergence, i.e., an exponential decay of the numerical error with the number of collocation points. An asymptotic formula for large $|k|$ is given for the reflection coefficient.

High precision numerical approach for the Davey-Stewartson II equation for Schwartz class initial data

We present an efficient high-precision numerical approach for the Davey-Stewartson (DS) II equation, treating initial data from the Schwartz class of smooth, rapidly decreasing functions. As with previous approaches, the presented code uses discrete Fourier transforms for the spatial dependence and Driscoll's composite Runge-Kutta method for the time dependence. Since the DS equation is a nonlocal, nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a singular symbol for the nonlocality, standard Fourier methods in practice only reach accuracies of the order of $10^{-6}$ or less for typical examples. This was previously demonstrated for the defocusing case by comparison with a numerical approach for DS via inverse scattering. By applying a regularization to the singular symbol, originally developed for D-bar problems, the presented code is shown to reach machine precision. The code can treat integrable and non-integrable DS II equations. Moreover, it has the same %complexity numerical complexity as existing codes for DS II. Several examples for the integrable defocusing DS II equation are discussed as test cases. In an appendix by C.~Kalla, a doubly periodic solution to the defocusing DS II equation is presented, providing a test for direct DS codes based on Fourier methods.

Multidomain spectral method for the Gauss hypergeometric function

We present a multidomain spectral approach for Fuchsian ordinary differential equations in the particular case of the hypergeometric equation. Our hybrid approach uses Frobenius' method and Moebius transformations in the vicinity of each of the singular points of the hypergeometric equation, which leads to a natural decomposition of the real axis into domains. In each domain, solutions to the hypergeometric equation are constructed via the well-conditioned ultraspherical spectral method. The solutions are matched at the domain boundaries to lead to a solution which is analytic on the whole compactified real line $\mathbb{R}\cup {\infty}$, except for the singular points and cuts of the Riemann surface on which the solution is defined. The solution is further extended to the whole Riemann sphere by using the same approach for ellipses enclosing the singularities. The hypergeometric equation is solved on the ellipses with the boundary data from the real axis. This solution is continued as a harmonic function to the interior of the disk by solving the Laplace equation in polar coordinates with an optimal complexity Fourier--ultraspherical spectral method.

Spectral approach to the scattering map for the semi-classical defocusing Davey-Stewartson II equation

The inverse scattering approach for the defocusing Davey-Stewartson II equation is given by a system of D-bar equations. We present a numerical approach to semi-classical D-bar problems for real analytic rapidly decreasing potentials. We treat the D-bar problem as a complex linear second order integral equation which is solved with discrete Fourier transforms complemented by a regularization of the singular parts by explicit analytic computation. The resulting algebraic equation is solved either by fixed point iterations or GMRES. Several examples for small values of the semi-classical parameter in the system are discussed.

Numerical study of blow-up mechanisms for Davey-Stewartson II systems

We present a detailed numerical study of various blow-up issues in the context of the focusing Davey-Stewartson II equation. To this end we study Gaussian initial data and perturbations of the lump and the explicit blow-up solution due to Ozawa. Based on the numerical results it is conjectured that the blow-up in all cases is self similar, and that the time dependent scaling is as in the Ozawa solution and not as in the stable blow-up of standard $L^{2}$ critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The blow-up profile is given by a dynamically rescaled lump.
