Abstract

Stability of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) soliton in crossed linear and nonlinear optical lattices is investigated using variational approximation. The Euler-Lagrange equations for variational parameters and the effective potential are derived by means of a cylindrically symmetric Gaussian ansatz, while the equilibrium widths are determined by minimization of the effective potential. In the presence of a periodic spatial variation of short-range contact interaction, the localized bound states can exist for both attractive and repulsive dipolar interactions. And the domain of stable dipolar BEC solitons is illustrated in a phase plot of the nonlinearities. Finally, we give the evolution of the variational width for different values of the nonlinearities.
