   It is a nonliear Partial differential equation . you can find it in the appendix.
   If you have some good idea about this equation ,ok ,please reply to me .thanks!

   The first thing you would do, of course, is separate into "u> 0", "u< 0" cases. After that it is pretty much standard.

   My question
   
   First, thank you .but if the solution of the equation (U) is a complex number, how to separate the "u" into the two condition:(1) U>0; (2) U<0.

   If u is a complex valued function, then separate it into real and imaginary parts: u(x)= p(x)+ i q(x). |u|²= p²+ q² and you have two non-linear differential equations for p and q. They will still be rather nasty I am afraid. MOST non-linear equations can be solved in closed form.
