COLLAPSECOLLAPSE

• The solutions of nonlinear wave equations often exhibit important phenomena such as stable localized waves (e.g. solitons), self similar structures, chaotic dynamics and wave singularities such as shock waves (derivative discontinuities) and/or wave collapse (i.e, blow up) where the solution tends to infinity in finite time or finite propagation distance.

• Nonlinear wave collapse is a matter of interest in many areas ofphysics, hydrodynamics and optics.

• A prototypical equation that arises in cubic media, such as Kerr media in optics, is the (2+1)D focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation NLS

• Kelley (1965) carried out direct numerical simulations of cubic NLS that indicated the possibility of wave collapse.

• Vlaslov et al. (1970) proved that the solutions of the cubic NLS satisfy the Virial Theorem (Variance Identity)

They also concluded that the solution of the NLS can become singular in finite time (or distance) because a positive quantity could become negative for initial conditions satisfying .0H <

Subsequently many researchers have studied the NLS in detail:

• Weinstein (1983) showed that when the power is sufficiently small, i.e.,

Therefore, the sufficient condition for collapse is 0H <While the necessary condition for collapse is cN N>

Weinstein also found that the ground state of the NLS also plays animportant role in the collapse theory. The ground state is a “stationary” solution of the form ( ) izu R r e=

• Papanicolaou et al. (1994) studied the singularity structure near the collapse point and showed asymptotically and numerically that colapse occurs with a (quasi) self-similar profile.

• Merle and Raphael (1996) elaborated on the behavior of blow up phenomena of NLS.

• Gaeta et al. (2000) carried out detailed experiments which reveal the nature of the singularity formation and showed that collapse occurs with a self-similar profile.

There are considerably fewer studies of the wave collapse that arise in nonlinear media whose governing equations have quadraticnonlinearities,

such as water waves and nonlinear optics.

The derivation of the NLSM system is based on an expansion of the slowly-varying wave amplitude in the first and second harmonics of the fundamental frequency, as well as a mean term that corresponds to the zeroth harmonic.

This leads to a system of equations that describes the nonlocal-nonlinear coupling between a dynamic field that is associated with the first harmonic and a static field associated with the mean term.

• NLSM equations were originally obtained by Benney and Roskes (1969) in their study of the instability of wave packets in multidimensional water wavepackets in water of finite depth, without surface tension.

• Davey and Stewartson (1974) derived a special form of NLSM equations in the study of water waves, near the shallow water limit.

• Djordjevic and Redekopp (1977) extended the results of Benney andRoskes to include the surface tension.

• Ablowitz and Segur (1979) analyzed the Benney- Roskes equations andshowed that the singularity exists in some parameter regimes.They further introduced the Hamiltonian of NLSM system.

• Existence and well-posedness of solutions to NLSM equations was studiedby Ghidaglia and Saut (1990)

As can be seen if H <0, the moment of inertia vanishes at a finite time and

no global solution exists after this time. This indicates a rapid development of

Each bracket, { }, in H is positive definite, and the second bracket vanishes

in the linear limit of Benney Roskes equations. Clearly H<0 is possible.

NLSM EQUATION FROM OPTICSNLSM EQUATION FROM OPTICS

• In isotropic (Kerr) media, where the nonlinear response of the material depends cubically on the applied field, the dynamics of a quasi-monochromatic optical pulse is governed by the NLS equation.

• Generalized NLS systems with coupling to a mean term also appear in various physical applications. These equations are denoted as NLSM typeequations. NLSM type equations arise in nonlinear optics by studying materials with quadratic nonlinear response.

• Ablowitz, Biondini and Blair (1997, 2001) found that NLSM type equations describe the evolution of the electromagnetic field in the quadratically polarized media. Both scalar and vector NLSM systems, in three space + one time dimension, were obtained.

• Numerical calculations of NLSM type equations in case of nonlinear optics were carried out by Crasovan, Torres et al. (2003) Indications of wave collapse were found in certain parameter regime.

For scalar system, if the time dependence in these equations is neglectedand problem is reconsidered for the materials belong to a special symmetry class then it can be seen that these equations are NLSM type equations.

1- When derivatives with respect to y can be neglected (e.g., in a narrow canal)the second equation can be integrated immediately, and one recovers the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation which can be solved by the inversescattering transform (IST). M. J. Ablowitz and H. Segur, Solitons and the Inverse Scattering Transform (1981)

2. In deep water limit, the mean flow vanishes and NLSM equations reduce to(2+1)-dimensional NLS equation:

2iA A A A Aτ ξξ ηηλ µ χ∞ ∞ ∞+ + =

Contrary to the one-dimensional case, this equation is likely not solvable by IST. Also, for various choices of parameters the solutions can blow up in finite time.

3- A different scenario arises in the opposite limit,that is shallow water.

In this case, after rescaling, the equations can be written as :

with 1σ = + 1σ = −or

• This system, usually called the Davey-Stewartson (DS I or DS II) equations, is of IST type, and thus completely integrable.

• For the Davey-Stewartson system, several exact solutions are available.In particular, stable localized pulses, often called dromions are knownto exist.

• Existence and well-posedness of solutions to NLSM type equations wasstudied by Ghidaglia and Saut (1990).

• Behavior of the blow up singularity was analyzed by Papanicolaou (1994).

Thus, in optics case, the coupling to the mean field corresponds to a self-defocusing mechanism, while in water waves case, it corresponds to a self-focusing mechanism => focusing in water waves case is easier to attain.

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS• Direct numerical simulation results are consistent with the Virial Theorem and Global

Existence Theory. This is in the same spirit as the results of classical NLS equation.

• In contrast to the NLS case, stationary solutions of NLSM are not radially symmetric but elliptic.

• Ground state profile is astigmatic and therefore, the collapse profile is astigmatic.

• The singularity occurs in water waves more quickly than in optics.

• As z approaches to zc (collapse distance) numerical simulations show that the nature of singularity for both optics and water waves, is described by a self-similar collapse profile given in terms of the ground state profile.

• From the experimental perspective, self similar collapse in quadratic-cubic media remains to be demonstrated in either free-surface waves and nonlinear optics.
