NLS bifurcations on the bowtie combinatorial graph and the dumbbell metric graph

Department of Mathematical Sciences, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University Heights, Newark, NJ 07102, USA

We consider the bifurcations of standing wave solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) posed on a quantum graph consisting of two loops connected by a single edge, the so-called dumbbell, recently studied in [27]. The authors of that study found the ground state undergoes two bifurcations, first a symmetry-breaking, and the second which they call a symmetry-preserving bifurcation. We clarify the type of the symmetry-preserving bifurcation, showing it to be transcritical. We then reduce the question, and show that the phenomena described in that paper can be reproduced in a simple discrete self-trapping equation on a combinatorial graph of bowtie shape. This allows for complete analysis by parameterizing the full solution space. We then expand the question, and describe the bifurcations of all the standing waves of this system, which can be classified into three families, and of which there exists a countably infinite set.

Keywords: Quantum graphs, bifurcation, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, standing wave, reduced models.

Figure 5.7. (a) Solid curves: Partial bifurcation diagram on the lollipop subgraph. Dashed curves (red) indicate the maximum values of the quantized cnoidal solutions and the dash-dot curves (green) the maximum and minimum values of the quantized conoidal solutions on edge $ \mathtt{e} _3 $, with the regions between them shaded, alternately, for clarity. The marked points at intersections between the two families of curves indicate saddle node bifurcations of solutions with cnoidal or dnoidal solutions on the edge $ \mathtt{e} _3 $.
