✦ Synopsis
A method for obtaining numerical solutions of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem c(e) e-X~><(v Xe)=O is described. The nonlinearity is due to the ponderomotive force exerted by the wave on a plasma, which modifies the densities. A centred finite-difference scheme is used, which avoids spectra pollution.Starting from the linear, small amplitude solution, a predictor-corrector method allows one to reach solutions of increasing amplitude.
