Variational approximations of bifurcations of asymmetric solitons in cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger lattices

Abstract Related Papers Cited by
  • Using a variational approximation we study discrete solitons of a nonlinear Schrödinger lattice with a cubic-quintic nonlinearity. Using an ansatz with six parameters we are able to approximate bifurcations of asymmetric solutions connecting site-centered and bond-centered solutions and resulting in the exchange of their stability. We show that the numerical and variational approximations are quite close for solitons of small powers.
