Abstract
Head-on collisions of two concentric ring-shaped dark or antidark solitons of a generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation are studied analytically an d numerically. Collision-induced phase shifts of the solitons are derived, and the analytical predictions are found to be in good agreement with the r esults of direct simulations. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
