Let <i>A</i> and <i>B</i> be non-negative self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space such that their form sum <i>C</i> is densely defined. It is shown that the Trotter product formula holds for imaginary parameter values in the <i>L</i> ²-norm, that is, one has <div class="gsh_dspfr"> \lim_{no+\infty} \int\limits^T_{-T} \left\|\left(e^{-itA/n}e^{-itB/n} ight)^nh - e^{-itC}hight\|^2dt = 0

Nonlinear dynamics of wave packets in parity-time-symmetric optical lattices near the phase-transition point is analytically studied. A nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation is derived for the envelope of these wave packets. A variety of phenomena known to exist in this envelope equation are shown to also exist in the full equation, including wave blowup, periodic bound states, and solitary wave solutions.
