Self-focusing on bounded domains

The critical nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) on bounded domains models the propagation of cw laser beams in hollow-core fibers. Unlike the NLS on unbounded domains which models propagation in bulk media, the ground-state waveguide solutions are stable and the condition of critical power for singularity formation is generically sharp.
