Abstract

We investigate analytically and numerically the modulational instability (MI) of plane waves under competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities. The generic properties of the MI gain spectra are then demonstrated for the Gaussian response function, exponential response function, and rectangular response function. Special attention is paid to competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities on the MI. We observe that the focusing local quintic nonlinearity increases the growth rate and bandwidth of instability contrary to the small values of defocusing local quintic nonlinearity which decrease the growth rate and bandwidth of instability. Numerical simulations of the full model equation describing the dynamics of the waves are been carried out and leads to the development of pulse trains, depending upon the sign the quintic nonlinearity.
