%0 Journal Article %T A numerical study of the self-similar solutions of the Schroedinger Map %A Francisco de la Hoz %A Carlos Garcia-Cervera %A Luis Vega %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We present a numerical study of the self-similar solutions of the Localized Induction Approximation of a vortex filament. These self-similar solutions, which constitute a one-parameter family, develop a singularity at finite time. We study a number of boundary conditions that allow us reproduce the mechanism of singularity formation. Some related questions are also considered. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.1011v1
