We also note there is an existence proof of DMNLS soliton solutions as
ground states of a Hamiltonian. Furthermore, it can be proven that the DMNLS
equation (10.30) is asymptotic, i.e., its solution remains close to the solution
of the original NLS equation (10.21), see Zharnitsky et al. (2000).
10.4.4 Numerical “averaging” method
To find soliton solutions from the original PNLS equation (10.19) we may use
a numerical averaging method (Nijhof et al., 1997, 2002). In this method one
starts with the non-dimensional PNLS equation, (10.19):

and an initial guess for the DM soliton, e.g., a Gaussian, u

. Then one takes the following
“average”:

Then u
