Soliton, Breather and Rogue Wave Solutions for Solving the Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation Using a Deep Learning Method with Physical Constraints

Abstract

The nonlinear Schrodinger equation is a classical integrable equation which contains plenty of significant properties and occurs in many physical areas. However, due to the difficulty of solving this equation, in particular in high dimensions, lots of methods are proposed to effectively obtain different kinds of solutions, such as neural networks, among others. Recently, a method where some underlying physical laws are embeded into a conventional neural network is proposed to uncover the equation's dynamical behaviors from spatiotemporal data directly. Compared with traditional neural networks, this method can obtain remarkably accurate solution with extraordinarily less data. Meanwhile, this method also provides a better physical explanation and generalization. In this paper, based on the above method, we present an improved deep learning method to recover the soliton solutions, breather solution and rogue wave solutions to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. In particular, the dynamical behaviors and error analysis about the one-order and two-order rogue waves of the Schrodinger equation are revealed by the deep neural network for the first time. Moreover, the effects of different numbers of initial points sampled, residual collocation points sampled, network layers, neurons per hidden layer on the one-order rogue wave dynamics of this equation have been considered with the help of the control variable way under the same initial and boundary conditions. Numerical experiments show that the dynamical behaviors of soliton solutions, breather solution and rogue wave solutions of the integrable nonlinear Schrodinger equation can be well reconstructed by utilizing this physically-constrained deep learning method.
