1 Introduction
Konno and Kakuhata are interested in motion of the stretched vortex filaments where the
filaments are described by the localized induction equation (LIE) [1]. LIE is given by
Xt = Xs ×Xss, (1)
in which X is the position vector (X, Y, Z), s is the arclength and t is the time. This LIE
was first obtained by Arms and Hama for the thin vortex filament with the localized induction
approximation [2]. Their original equation is derived as
Xt =
Xs ×Xss
|Xs|3
. (2)
Under the condition |Xs| = 1, (2) is reduced to (1). |Xs| is equal to the local stretch of the
filament ls defined by [3]
ls =
dl
ds
= |Xs|,
where l is the length along the filament. If ls = 1, there is no stretch, if ls > 1, stretch and if
ls < 1, then shrink.
If there is no stretch, one can define the tangent vector t = ∂X/∂s with its magnitude 1 and
use the Frenet–Serret scheme. Then one introduces the curvature and the torsion, and shows
that equation (1) is equivalent to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation through the Hashimoto
transformation [4]. For ls 6= 1 s does not mean the arclength but the parameter along the
filament. LIE is an integrable equation. Moreover, we have shown that (2) is integrable and has
a hierarchy which is constructed by the recursion operators [5].
In this paper, in order to compare (2) with (1) we will try to solve an initial value problem
with the same initial vortex filaments. The numerical scheme is given in [6].
In the next section we show the numerical method for (2). In Section 3 numerical results are
given. The last section presents conclusion.

t = 0, 3, 6 for A = 0.6 and λ = 1.5 + i.
2 Numerical method
In order to solve (2), we use the following implicit finite difference equation [6], as an example,
for the x component as
Xj+1,i −Xj,i
∆t
=
1
L3
s
[
Yj,i+1 − Yj,i
∆s
Zj+1,I+1 − 2Zj+1,i + Zj+1,i−1
∆s2
− Zj,i+1 − Zj,i
∆s
Yj+1,i+1 − 2Yj+1,i + Yj+1,i−1
∆s2
]
, (3)
where
Ls =
√
(Xj,i+1 −Xj,i)2 + (Yj,i+1 − Yj,i)2 + (Zj,i+1 − Zj,i)2
∆s2
.
The subscripts j and i refer to the time t = j∆t and s = i∆s, respectively. (3) and Y and Z
components can be written as the following matrix form
Dj,iHj+1,i+1 + (1− 2Dj,i)Hj+1,i + Dj,iHj+1,i−1 = Hj,i, (4)
where
Hj,i =
Xj,i
Yj,i

−cj,i 0 aj,i
bj,i −aj,i 0

(Yj,i+1 − Yj,i),

To solve (4), we introduce a recurrence formula
Hj+1,i = Ej,iHj+1,i+1 + Fj,i (5)

at t = 0, 3, 6 for A = 0.6 and λ = 1.5 + i.
where
Ej,i = −(1− 2Dj,i + Dj,iEj,i−1)−1Dj,i,
Fj,i = (1− 2Dj,i + Dj,iEj,i−1)−1(Hj,i −Dj,iFj,i−1), (6)
for i = 2, 3, . . . , N and
Ej,1 = −(1− 2Dj,1)−1Dj,1, Fj,1 = (1− 2Dj,i)−1(Hj,1 −Dj,1Hj,0). (7)
Here we take the boundary condition
Hj,0 =
0
0
Zj,1 −∆s
. (8)
The values of all coefficients (6) are recursively determined by using (6) and (7) with (8). Taking
Xj,N+1 = 0, Yj,N+1 = 0 and Zj,N+1 = Zj,N + ∆s, we can solve the recurrence formula (5).
We have taken values of ∆s = 1/8 and ∆t = ∆s3/32. Number of steps j is 12/∆t. Numerical
accuracy is checked against the following aspects, i.e. i) the steady state vortex solution of (9)
with A = 1 propagates without showing significant distortion and ii) the conserved quantity [5]∫
(ls − 1)ds conserves within the accuracy 5 % for (1) and 10% for (2).

where A is the factor to represent the stretch and we take t = 0. If A = 1, (9) is just the exact
solution without the stretch. Ω, Θ and constants δ, ε are given by

If A = 1, there is no stretch. If A 6= 1, (9) shows the local stretch for A > 1 and the local shrink
for A < 1.
Using LIE, we show the profiles and the local stretch of the vortex filament in Fig. 1 for
A = 0.6 with λ = 1.5 + i and c0 = 1. We observe that, since the filament has shrunk initially,
then the vortex soliton deforms its profile and moves away with the strong radiation, however,
the shrunk region remains in the same place as freezing the shrink [1].
For the case of the equation of motion (2), we illustrate the profiles and the local stretch
of the filament in Fig. 2 with the same parameters such as A = 0.6, λ = 1.5 + i and c0 = 1.
Comparing with LIE, we observe that the vortex soliton takes a small modification and moves
fast with the weak radiation. The shrunk region remains in the same place, which is similar to
the case of LIE.

Figure 4. Time evolution (left) and local stretch (right) for the loop type of vortex soliton (10) of (2)
at t = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 for A = 0.5.
3.2 Stretched loop type vortex filament
With the exact solution of (1) as
X = −A sin 4t sech2s, Y = A cos 4t sech2s, Z = s− tanh2s, (10)
we consider the initial value problem by taking t = 0. Here A is the factor to represent the
stretch for the loop type of the vortex filament. The local stretch is given by
l2s = 1 + 4
(
A2 − 1
)
sech22s tanh22s.
In Fig. 3 we show the profiles and the local stretch of the loop type of the vortex filament
for A = 0.5 at the instants t = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 by using (1). Since the initial profile is the exact
solution we observe that the vortex filament rotates in the same place with a constant angular
velocity and that the shrunk region does not move [1].
Using the evolution equation (2), we simulate the vortex filament with the same parameter
as A = 0.5 and show the profiles and the local stretch at the instants t = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 in
Fig. 4. From the profiles, we can observe that new propagating vortex soliton is produced by
accompanied with the radiation. However, from the local stretch, we find that shrunk region with
double dips remains in the nearly same place, which means that the mode with a constant X,
a constant Y and two kinks for Z − s excited in the region.

4 Conclusion
We have presented the numerical scheme and considered the initial value problem in order to
stress the difference of two equations (1) and (2). We have found that the profiles of the vortex
filaments show quite different behaviour, but for the local stretch, both of the two equations
give the same results in such a way that the initial stretched region stays in the same place to
freeze the stretch or the shrink.
