Zh. Vychisl. Mat. Mat. Fiz. 47, No. 10, 1752-1773 (2007); translation in Comput. Math. Math. Phys. 47, No. 10, 1681-1701 (2007).
Summary: Conservative finite-difference schemes are constructed for the problem of a femtosecond laser pulse propagating in a cubically nonlinear medium in the axially symmetric case with allowance for temporal dispersion of the nonlinear response of the medium. The process is governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation involving the time derivative of the nonlinear term. The invariants of the differential problem are presented. It is shown that the difference analogues of these invariants hold for the solution to the finite-difference schemes proposed for the problem. As an example, the numerical results obtained for the self-focusing of a femtosecond light beam are presented.
