Eckhaus equation
In mathematical physics, the Eckhaus equation – or the Kundu–Eckhaus equation – is a nonlinear partial differential equation within the nonlinear Schrödinger class: i ψ t + ψ x x + 2 ( | ψ | 2 ) x ψ + | ψ | 4 ψ = 0. {\displaystyle i\psi _{t}+\psi _{xx}+2\left(|\psi |^{2}\right)_{x}\,\psi +|\psi |^{4}\,\psi =0.} The equation was independently introduced by Wiktor Eckhaus and by Anjan Kundu to model the propagation of waves in dispersive media.
