Abstract:We propose an algorithm for constructing initial conditions for the wave equation in the paraxial approximation that generate non‐diffractive and self‐accelerating solutions in terms of their amplitude profiles. We make use of local properties of the initial conditions that are related to the shape of the solution's amplitude profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
