Abstract
By solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation analytically and numerically, we reexamine the implosion phenomena that occur beyond the critical value of the number of atoms of an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with cigar-shape trapping geometry. We theoretically calculate the critical number of atoms in the condensate by using Ritz's variational optimization technique and investigate the stability and collapse dynamics of the attractive BEC by numerically solving the time dependent Gross-Pitavskii equation.
