摘要
We derive analytical expressions for the homoclinic orbits associated with the complex modified Korteweg-de Vries (cmKdV) equation and investigate the effect of discretizations of the equation in the vicinity of these orbits. We show that a standard finite-difference scheme is subject to an instability, which differs in some respects from the instabilities one observes for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. An integrable discretization of the cmKdV equation is derived and numerical results showing the absence of any instabilities are presented.
