Numerical spectral synthesis of breather gas for the focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation


Abstract in English

We numerically realize breather gas for the focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation. This is done by building a random ensemble of N $sim$ 50 breathers via the Darboux transform recursive scheme in high precision arithmetics. Three types of breather gases are synthesized according to the three prototypical spectral configurations corresponding the Akhmediev, Kuznetsov-Ma and Peregrine breathers as elementary quasi-particles of the respective gases. The interaction properties of the constructed breather gases are investigated by propagating through them a trial generic breather (Tajiri-Watanabe) and comparing the mean propagation velocity with the predictions of the recently developed spectral kinetic theory (El and Tovbis, PRE 2020).
