Pseudospectral Algorithms for Solving Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation in   3D
  Three pseudospectral algorithms are described (Euler, leapfrog and trapez) for solving numerically the time dependent nonlinear Schroedinger equation in one, two or three dimensions. Numerical stability regions in the parameter space are determined for the cubic nonlinearity, which can be easily extended to other nonlinearities. For the first two algorithms, maximal timesteps for stability are calculated in terms of the maximal Fourier harmonics admitted by the spectral method used to calculate space derivatives. The formulas are directly applicable if the discrete Fourier transform is used, i.e. for periodic boundary conditions. These formulas were used in the relevant numerical programs developed in our group.
