Analytical and Data-Driven Wave Approximations of an Extended Schrödinger Equation

Abstract

Using both analytical and numerical techniques, we discuss wave solutions within the framework of an extended nonlinear Schrödinger equation with constant coefficients equipped with spatiotemporal dispersion, self-steepening effects, and a Raman scattering term. We present the exact traveling wave solution of the system in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions and mention some symmetry results as they relate to the resulting ordinary differential equation. A constructed bright soliton solution serves as the base to compare a numerical solution of the system using spectral Fourier methods with a precise statistical low-rank approximation using a data-driven approach aided by the Koopman operator theory. We found that the spatiotemporal feature added to the model serves as a regularizing tool that enables a precise reconstruction of the original solution.
