| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is concerned with analysis of spectral and orbital stability of solitary wave solutions to discrete and continuous PT-symmetric nonlinear Schroedinger equations. The main tools of this analysis are inspired by Hamiltonian systems, where conserved quantities can be used for proving orbital stability and Krein signature can be computed for prediction of instabilities in the spectrum of linearization. The main results are obtained for the chain of coupled pendula represented by a discrete NLS model, and for the trapped atomic gas represented by a continuous NLS model. Analytical results are illustrated with various numerical examples. | en_US |
