We discuss spatial dynamics and collapse scenarios of localized waves governed by the nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equation with nonlocal nonlinearity. Firstly, we prove that for arbitrary nonsingular attractive nonlocal nonlinear interaction in arbitrary dimension collapse does not occur. Then we study in detail the effect of singular nonlocal kernels in arbitrary dimension using both, Lyapunoffs method and virial identities. We find that for for a one-dimensional case, i.e. for $n=1$, collapse cannot happen for nonlocal nonlinearity. On the other hand, for spatial dimension $ngeq2$ and singular kernel $sim 1/r^alpha$, no collapse takes place if $alpha<2$, whereas collapse is possible if $alphage2$. Self-similar solutions allow us to find an expression for the critical distance (or time) at which collapse should occur in the particular case of $sim 1/r^2$ kernels. Moreover, different evolution scenarios for the three dimensional physically relevant case of Bose Einstein condensate are studied numerically for both, the ground state and a higher order toroidal state with and without an additional local repulsive nonlinear interaction. In particular, we show that presence of an additional local repulsive term can prevent collapse in those cases.

Quasiperiodic oscillations and shape-transformations of higher-order bright solitons in nonlinear nonlocal media have been frequently observed in recent years, however, the origin of these phenomena was never completely elucidated. In this paper, we perform a linear stability analysis of these higher-order solitons by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. This enables us to understand the emergence of a new oscillatory state as a growing unstable mode of a higher-order soliton. Using dynamically important states as a basis, we provide low-dimensional visualizations of the dynamics and identify quasiperiodic and homoclinic orbits, linking the latter to shape-transformations.
We discuss the finite-time collapse, also referred as blow-up, of the solutions of a discrete nonlinear Schr{o}dinger (DNLS) equation incorporating linear and nonlinear gain and loss. This DNLS system appears in many inherently discrete physical contexts as a more realistic generalization of the Hamiltonian DNLS lattice. By using energy arguments in finite and infinite dimensional phase spaces (as guided by the boundary conditions imposed), we prove analytical upper and lower bounds for the collapse time, valid for both the defocusing and focusing cases of the model. In addition, the existence of a critical value in the linear loss parameter is underlined, separating finite time-collapse from energy decay. The numerical simulations, performed for a wide class of initial data, not only verified the validity of our bounds, but also revealed that the analytical bounds can be useful in identifying two distinct types of collapse dynamics, namely, extended or localized. Pending on the discreteness /amplitude regime, the system exhibits either type of collapse and the actual blow-up times approach, and in many cases are in excellent agreement, with the upper or the lower bound respectively. When these times lie between the analytical bounds, they are associated with a nontrivial mixing of the above major types of collapse dynamics, due to the corroboration of defocusing/focusing effects and energy gain/loss, in the presence of discreteness and nonlinearity.
The study of nonlinear waves that collapse in finite time is a theme of universal interest, e.g. within optical, atomic, plasma physics, and nonlinear dynamics. Here we revisit the quintessential example of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and systematically derive a normal form for the emergence of blowup solutions from stationary ones. While this is an extensively studied problem, such a normal form, based on the methodology of asymptotics beyond all algebraic orders, unifies both the dimension-dependent and power-law-dependent bifurcations previously studied; it yields excellent agreement with numerics in both leading and higher-order effects; it is applicable to both infinite and finite domains; and it is valid in all (subcritical, critical and supercritical) regimes.
We study the azimuthal modulational instability of vortices with different topological charges, in the focusing two-dimensional nonlinear Schr{o}dinger (NLS) equation. The method of studying the stability relies on freezing the radial direction in the Lagrangian functional of the NLS in order to form a quasi-one-dimensional azimuthal equation of motion, and then applying a stability analysis in Fourier space of the azimuthal modes. We formulate predictions of growth rates of individual modes and find that vortices are unstable below a critical azimuthal wave number. Steady state vortex solutions are found by first using a variational approach to obtain an asymptotic analytical ansatz, and then using it as an initial condition to a numerical optimization routine. The stability analysis predictions are corroborated by direct numerical simulations of the NLS. We briefly show how to extend the method to encompass nonlocal nonlinearities that tend to stabilize solutions.
We show that the nonlinear stage of modulational instability induced by parametric driving in the {em defocusing} nonlinear Schrodinger equation can be accurately described by combining mode truncation and averaging methods, valid in the strong driving regime. The resulting integrable oscillator reveals a complex hidden heteroclinic structure of the instability. A remarkable consequence, validated by the numerical integration of the original model, is the existence of breather solutions separating different Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrent regimes. Our theory also shows that optimal parametric amplification unexpectedly occurs outside the bandwidth of the resonance (or Arnold tongues) arising from the linearised Floquet analysis.
