Description

We consider several discretizations of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation which lead naturally to the study of some symmetric difference equations of the form PHIsub(n+1) + PHIsub(n-1) = f(PHIsub(n)). We find a variety of interesting and exotic behaviour from simple closed orbits to intricate patterns of orbits and loops in the (PHIsub(n+1),PHIsub(n)) phase-plane. Some analytical results for a special case are also presented. (orig.)
