Abstract

We report numerical results on the interaction between lowest order solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, the coherent-solitonic states. It is shown that under specific conditions two zero-order states can almost fuse into a first-order state and nearly maintain the shape during propagation. The conditions of fusion are analyzed. To a lesser extent, the same behavior is observed for three state fusion.
