The discussion revolves around the split method used to numerically solve the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with a focus on the expected results and types of graphs that may be generated, particularly in the context of MATLAB applications.
Participants generally agree on the relevance of pseudo-spectra in the context of the split method, but there is no consensus on the specific graphs to be generated or how to implement them in MATLAB.
Limitations include the lack of specific details on the implementation in MATLAB and the dependence on the particular problem being addressed, which may affect the types of graphs produced.
Individuals interested in numerical methods for solving differential equations, particularly in the field of nonlinear optics, as well as those seeking to understand the graphical outputs of such methods.

UltrafastPED said:The graphs to be shown would be the pseudo-spectra; the actual problem that you are working on will determine what needs to be shown.
I cannot help you with Matlab.
