Abstract



The Gross–Pitaevskii equation is solved using an approach developed for the solution of the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations for type II superconductivity. The solution is compared with others in the literature and is shown to be easily adapted to the study of an isolated vortex recently discovered in Bose-Einstein Condensation in trapped gases.
