Description
In this work we will look at the focusing Davey-Stewartson equation from two different angles, using advanced numerical tools.
As a nonlinear dispersive PDE and a generalisation of the non-linear Schrödinger equation, DS possesses solutions that develop a singularity in finite time. We numerically study the long time behaviour and potential blow-up of solutions to the focusing Davey-Stewartson II equation for various initial data and propose a conjecture describing the blow up rate and solution profiles near the singularity.
Secondly, DS is an integrable system and can be studied as an inverse scat- tering problem. Both the forward and inverse scattering transformation in this case are reduced to a d-bar system which plays the role that Riemann-Hilbert problems play in one dimensional problems. We will present numerical solutions for Schwartzian and compactly supported potentials. In all studied cases we use spectral methods and achieve machine precision.
