A generalized Petviashvili iteration method for scalar and vector Hamiltonian equations with arbitrary form of nonlinearity

Abstract

The Petviashvili's iteration method has been known as a rapidly converging numerical algorithm for obtaining fundamental solitary wave solutions of stationary scalar nonlinear wave equations with power-law nonlinearity: \ $-Mu+u^p=0$, where $M$ is a positive definite self-adjoint operator and $p=\mathrm{const}$. In this paper, we propose a systematic generalization of this method to both scalar and vector Hamiltonian equations with arbitrary form of nonlinearity and potential functions. For scalar equations, our generalized method requires only slightly more computational effort than the original Petviashvili method.
