Abstract

An inverstigation is made of the transverse instability of plane soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, including the case of an exponential nonlinearity. The analysis is based on a variational method, where specific trial functions are applied for the perturbations. Explicit expressions for the growth rates are given, showing good agreement with numerical results.
