Stability of traveling-wave solutions for a Schrodinger system with power-type nonlinearities

Nghiem V. Nguyen, Rushun Tian, Zhi-Qiang Wang

Abstract:
In this article, we consider the Schrodinger system with power-type nonlinearities,
$$
 i\frac{\partial}{\partial t}u_j+ \Delta u_j +  a|u_j|^{2p-2} u_j
 + \sum_{k=1, k\neq j}^m b |u_k|^{p}|u_j|^{p-2} u_j=0; \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N,
 $$
where $j=1,\dots,m$, $u_j$ are complex-valued functions of $(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^{N+1}$, a,b are real numbers. It is shown that when $b>0$, and $a+(m-1)b>0$, for a certain range of p, traveling-wave solutions of this system exist, and are orbitally stable.
