Hi all.
Could you please recommend some nice books on numerical approach to NLS or introduction to NLS in general?
I don't have a strong background in numerical methods nor any prior knowldege in NLS or quantum mechanics. So, perhaps an introductory book would be suitable at this stage.
Thanks.

By NLS, does one mean Non-linear Schrödinger equation, as opposed to Non-Linear Systems? If so, then these might be of interest.

thanks.
but is there any more introductory level books? I am completely new to this field.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
