New dynamics of the classical and nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a parabolic potential

Abstract

Solutions of the classical and nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation with a parabolic potential and a gain term are derived by using a second order nonisospectral Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur system and reduction technique of double Wronskians. Solutions of the classical GP equation show typical space-time localized characteristics. An interesting dynamics, solitons carrying an oscillating wave, are found with mathematical analysis and illustrations. Solutions of some nonlocal cases are also illustrated.
