Abstract
The stationary evolution of two incoherently coupled beams of bi-Gaussian intensity profile propagating in a bulk Kerr or saturable medium is studied variationally. The stability is investigated on the basis of the Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion and comparisons are made with numerical integration of the (2+l)D coupled NLS equations involved.
