abstract: 'A scattering problem (or more precisely, a transmission-reflection problem) of linearized excitations in the presence of a dark soliton is considered in a one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger system with a general nonlinearity: $ \mathrm{i}\partial_t \phi = -\partial_x^2 \phi + F(|\phi|^2)\phi $. If the system is interpreted as a Bose-Einstein condensate, the linearized excitation is a Bogoliubov phonon, and the linearized equation is the Bogoliubov equation. We exactly prove that the perfect transmission of the zero-energy phonon is suppressed at a critical state determined by Barashenkov’s stability criterion \[Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, (1996) 1193.\], and near the critical state, the energy-dependence of the reflection coefficient shows a saddle-node type scaling law. The analytical results are well supported by numerical calculation for cubic-quintic nonlinearity. Our result gives an exact example of scaling laws of saddle-node bifurcation in time-reversible Hamiltonian systems. As a by-product of the proof, we also give all exact zero-energy solutions of the Bogoliubov equation and their finite energy extension.'
