Nonlinear quantum graphs are metric graphs equipped with a nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equation. Whereas in the last ten years they have known considerable developments on the theoretical side, their study from the numerical point of view remains in its early stages. The goal of this paper is to present the Grafidi library, a Python library which has been developed with the numerical simulation of nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equations on graphs in mind. We will show how, with the help of the Grafidi library, one can implement the popular normalized gradient flow and nonlinear conjugate gradient flow methods to compute ground states of a nonlinear quantum graph. We will also simulate the dynamics of the nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equation with a Crank-Nicolson relaxation scheme and a Strang splitting scheme. Finally, in a series of numerical experiments on various types of graphs, we will compare the outcome of our numerical calculations for ground states with the existing theoretical results, thereby illustrating the versatility and efficiency of our implementations in the framework of the Grafidi library.

We introduce and implement a method to compute stationary states of nonlinear Schrodinger equations on metric graphs. Stationary states are obtained as local minimizers of the nonlinear Schrodinger energy at fixed mass. Our method is based on a norma lized gradient flow for the energy (i.e. a gradient flow projected on a fixed mass sphere) adapted to the context of nonlinear quantum graphs. We first prove that, at the continuous level, the normalized gradient flow is well-posed, mass-preserving, energy diminishing and converges (at least locally) towards stationary states. We then establish the link between the continuous flow and its discretized version. We conclude by conducting a series of numerical experiments in model situations showing the good performance of the discrete flow to compute stationary states. Further experiments as well as detailed explanation of our numerical algorithm are given in a companion paper.

We propose a new model that describes the dynamics of epidemic spreading on connected graphs. Our model consists in a PDE-ODE system where at each vertex of the graph we have a standard SIR model and connexions between vertices are given by heat equa tions on the edges supplemented with Robin like boundary conditions at the vertices modeling exchanges between incident edges and the associated vertex. We describe the main properties of the system, and also derive the final total population of infected individuals. We present a semi-implicit in time numerical scheme based on finite differences in space which preserves the main properties of the continuous model such as the uniqueness and positivity of solutions and the conservation of the total population. We also illustrate our results with a selection of numerical simulations for a selection of connected graphs.
We present a numerical study of solutions to the $2d$ focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the exterior of a smooth, compact, strictly convex obstacle, with Dirichlet boundary conditions with cubic and quintic powers of nonlinearity. We study t he effect of the obstacle on solutions traveling toward the obstacle at different angles and with different velocities. We introduce a concept of weak and strong interactions and show how the obstacle changes the overall behavior of solutions.
In the article a convergent numerical method for conservative solutions of the Hunter--Saxton equation is derived. The method is based on piecewise linear projections, followed by evolution along characteristics where the time step is chosen in order to prevent wave breaking. Convergence is obtained when the time step is proportional to the square root of the spatial step size, which is a milder restriction than the common CFL condition for conservation laws.
We derive boundary conditions and estimates based on the energy and entropy analysis of systems of the nonlinear shallow water equations in two spatial dimensions. It is shown that the energy method provides more details, but is fully consistent with the entropy analysis. The details brought forward by the nonlinear energy analysis allow us to pinpoint where the difference between the linear and nonlinear analysis originate. We find that the result from the linear analysis does not necessarily hold in the nonlinear case. The nonlinear analysis leads in general to a different minimal number of boundary conditions compared with the linear analysis. In particular, and contrary to the linear case, the magnitude of the flow does not influence the number of required boundary conditions.
