Stability of the NLS Equation with Viscosity Effect

A nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with an effect of viscosity is derived from a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation modified with viscosity using the method of multiple time scale. It is well known that the plane-wave solution of the NLS equation exhibits modulational instability phenomenon. In th...
