Marco Caliari, Marco Squassina Abstrac: We provide numerical computations for the soliton dynamics of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with an external potential. After computing the ground state solution r of a related elliptic equation we show that, in the semi-classical regime, the center of mass of the solution with initial datum built upon r is driven by the solution to . Finally, we provide examples and analyze the numerical errors in the two dimensional case when V is a harmonic potential.
