Variational iteration method for coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations
In this paper, we apply the variational iteration method proposed by Ji-Huan He to simulate numerically a system of two coupled nonlinear one-dimensional Schrodinger equations subjected initially to a prescribed periodic wave solution. Test examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the method with different wave-wave interaction coefficients. The accuracy of the method is verified by ensuring that the energy conservation remains almost constant. The numerical results obtained with a minimum amount of computation show that the variational iteration method is much easier, more convenient and efficient for solving nonlinear partial differential equations.
