In this paper, we consider the dynamical evolution of dark vortex states in the two-dimensional defocusing discrete nonlinear Schroedinger model, a model of interest both to atomic physics and to nonlinear optics. We find that in a way reminiscent of their 1d analogs, i.e., of discrete dark solitons, the discrete defocusing vortices become unstable past a critical coupling strength and, in the infinite lattice, they apparently remain unstable up to the continuum limit where they are restabilized. In any infinite lattice, stabilization windows of the structures may be observed. Systematic tools are offered for the continuation of the states both from the continuum and, especially, from the anti-continuum limit. Although the results are mainly geared towards the uniform case, we also consider the effect of harmonic trapping potentials.

In this paper we study the integrability of a class of Gross-Pitaevskii equations managed by Feshbach resonance in an expulsive parabolic external potential. By using WTC test, we find a condition under which the Gross-Pitaevskii equation is completely integrable. Under the present model, this integrability condition is completely consistent with that proposed by Serkin, Hasegawa, and Belyaeva [V. N. Serkin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 074102 (2007)]. Furthermore, this integrability can also be explicitly shown by a transformation, which can convert the Gross-Pitaevskii equation into the well-known standard nonlinear Schrodinger equation. By this transformation, each exact solution of the standard nonlinear Schrodinger equation can be converted into that of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which builds a systematical connection between the canonical solitons and the so-called nonautonomous ones. The finding of this transformation has a significant contribution to understanding the essential properties of the nonautonomous solitions and the dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensates by using the Feshbach resonance technique.

In two dimensions the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a cold, dilute gas of bosons has an energy dependent coupling parameter describing particle interactions. We present numerical solutions of this equation for bosons in harmonic traps and show that the results can be quite sensitive to the precise form of the coupling parameter that is used.
We present previously unknown solutions to the 3D Gross--Pitaevskii equation describing atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. This model supports elaborate patterns, including excited states bearing vorticity. The discovered coherent structures exhibit striking topological features, involving combinations of vortex rings and multiple, possibly bent vortex lines. Although unstable, many of them persist for long times in dynamical simulations. These solutions were identified by a state-of-the-art numerical technique called deflation, which is expected to be applicable to many problems from other areas of physics.
This note examines Gross-Pitaevskii equations with PT-symmetric potentials of the Wadati type: $V=-W^2+iW_x$. We formulate a recipe for the construction of Wadati potentials supporting exact localised solutions. The general procedure is exemplified by equations with attractive and repulsive cubic nonlinearity bearing a variety of bright and dark solitons.
We show how to adapt the ideas of local energy and momentum conservation in order to derive modifications to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation which can be used phenomenologically to describe irreversible effects in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Our approach involves the derivation of a simplified quantum kinetic theory, in which all processes are treated locally. It is shown that this kinetic theory can then be transformed into a number of phase-space representations, of which the Wigner function description, although approximate, is shown to be the most advantageous. In this description, the quantum kinetic master equation takes the form of a GPE with noise and damping added according to a well-defined prescription--an equation we call the stochastic GPE. From this, a very simplified description we call the phenomenological growth equation can be derived. We use this equation to study i) the nucleation and growth of vortex lattices, and ii) nonlinear losses in a hydrogen condensate, which it is shown can lead to a curious instability phenomenon.
