Abstract:Approximately 10 years ago, the method of renormalization-group symmetries entered the field of boundary value problems of classical mathematical physics, stemming from the concepts of functional self-similarity and of the Bogoliubov renormalization group treated as a Lie group of continuous transformations. Overwhelmingly dominating practical quantum field theory calculations, the renormalization-group method formed the basis for the discovery of the asymptotic freedom of strong nuclear interactions and under… Show more

On the basis of an approximate analytic solution of a Cauchy problem for a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation describing steady state light beams in a medium with saturating nonlinearity by the method of renormgroup (RG) symmetries, a classification of self focusing solutions is given depending on two con trol parameters: the relative contributions of diffraction and nonlinearity and the saturation strength of the nonlinearity. The existence of tube type self focusing solutions is proved for an entering beam with Gaussian radial distribution of intensity. Numerical simulation is carried out that allows one to verify the theory devel oped and to determine its applicability limits.

“…The group theory approach based on the use of renormalization-group (RG) symmetries [51] is an efficient tool for the analytic solution of problems on laser±plasma acceleration of charged particles [29,52]. The kinetic equation for an electron averaged over fast laser oscillations in the model of radial ponderomotive acceleration of particles from the laser channel includes an`external' electric field specifying the radial ponderomotive force acting on plasma electrons [53] in addition to the self-consistent electric field of plasma.…”

“…The first of them, X 41 , is the translation operator along the ζ axis; the second operator, X 42 , represents the dilation transformation; and X 43 corresponds to the projective transformation group. In addition to operators (16), for a channel with a constant cross section, µ ≡ ν, the MGWE also allows the infinite subgroup operator…”

“…In constructing the invariant solutions to the MGWE, we concentrate on studying solutions that are invariant with respect to the one-parameter group with the operator X 4 , because this operator represents an analog of linear combinations of operators (16), the use of which for channels with constant cross sections yields the well-known and physically meaningful particular solutions to the nonlinear Burgers equation.…”

“…To construct an approximate analytic solution for a channel with a slowly varying cross section, we use the renormalization-group symmetry algorithm [16] for boundary-value problem (10). According to perturbation theory, this algorithm allows us to extend the solutions in nonlinearity parameter a to the region of finite values of this parameter.…”

The point symmetry group is studied for the generalized Webster-type equation describing nonlinear acoustic waves in lossy channels with variable cross sections. It is shown that, for certain types of cross section profiles, the admitted symmetry group is extended and the invariant solutions corresponding to these profiles are obtained. Approximate analytic solutions to the generalized Webster equation are derived for channels with smoothly varying cross sections and arbitrary initial conditions.
