Spectral instability of the semiclassical Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalue problem

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present some brief numerical results indicating that in the semiclassical limit the Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalue problem exhibits severe spectral instability, and that small changes in the potential can result in large changes in the spectrum.
