Abstract

We present a numerical approach for determination of the spectral stability of solitary waves by computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the corresponding eigenvalue problems, along with their continuation, for nonlinear wave equations in one space dimension. We illustrate the approach for the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with a small potential, and numerically determine the spectral stability of solitary waves near bifurcation points along with computations of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. The numerical results demonstrate some theoretical ones the authors recently obtained for the example.
