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.

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.
We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) model incorporating linear and nonlinear gain/loss. First, we describe analytically the dynamical regimes (depending on the gain/loss strengths), for finite-time collapse, decay, and global existence of solutions in the dynamics. Then, for all the above parametric regimes, we use direct numerical simulations to study the dynamics corresponding to algebraically decaying initial data. We identify crucial differences between the dynamics of vanishing initial conditions, and those converging to a finite constant background: in the former (latter) case we find strong (weak) collapse or decay, when the gain/loss parameters are selected from the relevant regimes. One of our main results, is that in all the above regimes, non-vanishing initial data transition through spatiotemporal, algebraically decaying waveforms. While the system is nonintegrable, the evolution of these waveforms is reminiscent to the evolution of the Peregrine rogue wave of the integrable NLS limit. The parametric range of gain and loss for which this phenomenology persists is also touched upon.
Following the concept of $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric couplers, we propose a linearly coupled system of nonlinear waveguides, made of positive- and negative-index materials, which carry, respectively, gain and loss. We report novel bi- and multi-stability states pertaining to transmitted and reflective intensities, which are controlled by the ratio of the gain and loss coefficients, and phase mismatch between the waveguides. These states offer transmission regimes with extremely low threshold intensities for transitions between coexisting states, and very large amplification ratio between the input and output intensities leading to an efficient way of controlling light with light.
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 consider the dynamics and stability of bright soliton stripes in the two-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation with hyperbolic dispersion, under the action of transverse perturbations. We start by discussing a recently proposed adiabatic-invariant approximation for transverse instabilities and its limitations in the bright soliton case. We then focus on a variational approximation used to reduce the dynamics of the bright-soliton stripe to effective equations of motion for its transverse shift. The reduction allows us to address the stripes snaking instability, which is inherently present in the system, and follow the ensuing spatiotemporal undulation dynamics. Further, introducing a channel-shaped potential, we show that the instabilities (not only flexural, but also those of the necking type) can be attenuated, up to the point of complete stabilization of the soliton stripe.
