Abstract:
In this paper we consider the stabilization of nonfundamental unstable stationary solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Specifically, we study the stabilization of radially symmetric solutions with nodes and asymmetric complex stationary solutions. For the first ones, we find partial stabilization similar to that recently found for vortex solutions while for the later ones stabilization does not seem possible.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
