Continuum approximations for pulses generated by impulsive initial data in binary exciton chain systems

Abstract Related Papers Cited by
  • Systems of ODE's with forms related to the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation arise in a variety of semi-classical molecular models, such as models of polymers with coupling between nearby excitable states, and reductions of quantum many-body systems. Similar systems also arise as models of arrays of nonlinear optical wave-guides, which can involve new features such as binary alternation of coefficients: so-called Binary Exciton Chain Systems.
        Solutions of such systems are often seen to develop regions of slow variation even when the initial data are impulsive: in particular the emergence of a slowly varying leading pulse that propagates in an approximately traveling wave form, and in stationary oscillations near the endpoints. This has motivated the search for long-wave approximations by PDEs.
        In this article it is observed that the patterns of slow variation are substantially different from those assumed in some previously-considered long-wave approximations, and several new PDE approximations are presented: third order systems describing leading pulses of approximately traveling wave form (related to the Airy PDE in the linearized case), and a quite different system describing stationary oscillations near an endpoint with zero boundary conditions. Numerical solutions of these PDE models and some linear analysis confirm that they provide a good agreement with the long-wave phenomena observed in the ODE systems.
