Bifurcation Analysis of the Dynamics of Two Vortices in a Bose–Einstein Condensate. The Case of Intensities of Opposite Signs
S.V. Sokolov, Pavel Evgen'evich Ryabov
Abstract
This paper is concerned with a system two point vortices in a Bose–Einstein condensate enclosed in a trap. The Hamiltonian form of equations of motion is presented and its Liouville integrability is shown. A bifurcation diagram is constructed, analysis of bifurcations of Liouville tori is carried out for the case of opposite-signed vortices, and the types of critical motions are identified.
