Resumen

We study the dynamics and pairwise interactions of dark soliton stripes in the two-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By employing a variational approach we reduce the dynamics for dark soliton stripes to a set of coupled one-dimensional "filament"equations of motion for the position and velocity of the stripe. The method yields good qualitative agreement with the numerical results for the transverse instability of the stripes. We propose a phenomenological amendment that also significantly improves the quantitative agreement of the method with the computations. Subsequently, the method is extended for a pair of symmetric dark soliton stripes that include the mutual interactions between the filaments. The reduced equations of motion are compared with a recently proposed adiabatic invariant method and its corresponding findings and are found to provide a more adequate representation of the original full dynamics for a wide range of cases encompassing perturbations with long and short wavelengths, and combinations thereof.
