This advanced graduate-level module explores the mathematical theory and exact solution techniques for nonlinear wave dynamics, with a focus on the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) and its variants. Leveraging the comprehensive compendium in Handbook of Exact Solutions to the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations, students will engage with symmetry methods, soliton solutions, fractional NLSEs, and the classification of analytic solutions. The course will emphasise deep analytical insight, guided reading of the key text, and applications to optics, Bose–Einstein condensates and fluid dynamics.
