The second and final step is then to reconstruct the temperature and heat flux on the fixed liquid boundary using the approximated Stefan conditions and given initial data. In each phase, we obtain the Tikhonov-regularized approximations using the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) and formulate heuristic residual a posteriori estimators to quantify the errors in the approximations.

Discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations are often employed to model these dynamics, particularly in the context of Bose–Einstein condensates and optical waveguide arrays. While the classical DNLS with cubic nonlinearity admits well-known solitonic solutions, the introduction of competing nonlinearities, such as quadratic–cubic and cubic–quintic terms, gives rise to new behaviors, including multistability and front formation. One such emergent structure, the Maxwell front, is characterized by stationary interfaces between two energetically equivalent steady states, occurring at a critical parameter known as the Maxwell point. This paper investigates the existence and stability of Maxwell fronts in DNLS models with competing nonlinearities. Specifically, we examine the quadratic–cubic nonlinearity, as found in the discrete quantum droplets equation, and the cubic–quintic nonlinearity, both of which exhibit multistability. We explore the persistence of Maxwell fronts in both the anticontinuum limit (where the coupling between lattice sites is weak) and the continuum limit (where the coupling is strong). The stability of these fronts is analyzed through linear stability analysis, utilizing eigenvalue counting arguments and exponential asymptotic techniques. Our results provide new insights into multistability, front dynamics, and the role of competing nonlinearities in discrete wave systems. The main contributions of this work include the characterization of Maxwell fronts in DNLS equations with competing nonlinearities, the analysis of their stability across different coupling regimes, and the application of novel asymptotic methods to investigate their behavior in the continuum limit.</p>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"156 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/sapm.70191","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147649413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
