Singular instability of exact stationary solutions of the nonlocal   Gross-Pitaevskii equation
  In this paper we show numerically that for nonlinear Schrodinger type systems the presence of nonlocal perturbations can lead to a beyond-all-orders instability of stable solutions of the local equation. For the specific case of the nonlocal one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an external standing light wave potential, we construct exact stationary solutions for an arbitrary interaction kernel. As the nonlocal and local equations approach each other (by letting an appropriate small parameter $\epsilon\to 0$), we compare the dynamics of the respective solutions. By considering the time of onset of instability, the singular nature of the inclusion of nonlocality is demonstrated, independent of the form of the interaction kernel.
