On the ground states and dynamics of space fractional nonlinear Schrodinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equations with rotation term and nonlocal nonlinear interactions

In this paper, we propose some efficient and robust numerical methods to compute the ground states and dynamics of Fractional Schrodinger Equation (FSE) with a rotation term and nonlocal nonlinear interactions. In particular, a newly developed Gaussian-sum (GauSum) solver is used for the nonlocal interaction evaluation[31]. To compute the ground states, we integrate the preconditioned Krylov subspace pseudo-spectral method [4] and the GauSum solver. For the dynamics simulation, using the rotating Lagrangian coordinates transform[14], we first reformulate the FSE into a new equation without rotation. Then, a time-splitting pseudo-spectral scheme incorporated with the GauSum solver is proposed to simulate the new FSE. In parallel to the numerical schemes, we also prove some existence and nonexistence results for the ground states. Dynamical laws of some standard quantities, including the mass, energy, angular momentum and the center of mass, are stated. The ground states properties with respect to the fractional order and/or rotating frequencies, dynamics involving decoherence and turbulence together with some interesting phenomena are reported.
