Abstract
The present paper is the first part of a project devoted to the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger (fNLS) equation. It is concerned with the existence and numerical generation of the solitary-wave solutions. For the first point, some conserved quantities of the problem are used to search for solitary-wave solutions from a constrained critical point problem and the application of the concentration-compactness theory. Several properties of the waves, such as the regularity and the asymptotic decay in some cases, are derived from the existence result. Some other properties, such as the monotone behavior and the speed-amplitude relation, will be explored computationally. To this end, a numerical procedure for the generation of the profiles is proposed. The method is based on a Fourier pseudospectral approximation of the differential system for the profiles and the use of Petviashvili’s iteration with extrapolation.
