Polynomial Lie algebra methods in solving the second-harmonic generation model: some exact and approximate calculations

We compare exact and SU(2)-cluster approximate calculation schemes to determine dynamics of the second-harmonic generation model using its reformulation in terms of a polynomial Lie algebra su(pd)(2) and related spectral representations of the model evolution operator realized in algorithmic forms. It enabled us to implement computer experiments exhibiting a satisfactory accuracy of the cluster approximations in a large range of characteristic model parameters. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
