Soliton robustness, interaction and stability for a variable coefficients Schrödinger(VCNLS) equation with inverse scattering transformation

The inverse scattering transformation(IST) method is an important method for solving soliton equations. In this paper, some novel solutions of a variable coefficients Schrödinger(VCNLS) equation are obtained with IST method. And we find that these waves have not the effected by other external waves, then call them on robustness waves. The VCNLS equation is derived from a non-isospectral AKNS equation hierarchy, and the spectral parameter is determined by an ordinary differential equation with polynomial nonlinearity. The VCNLS equation with the periodic and harmonic external potentials is solved via the inverse scattering transformation(IST) method, which possess the parity-time(PT) symmetric invariance. Unlike the classical NLS equation, the characteristic functions of the CVNLS equation with space–time external potential have two different symmetric reductions and two different backscattering solutions, which extends the application of IST and is helpful for the CVNLS equation. Some novel bright soliton solutions are obtained, which are different to the previous results in the classical case. The stabilities of the bright soliton solutions and the effect of the phase noise on the solutions are analyzed in a wide region through numerically. Especially, the interaction dynamics of between two solitons are investigated through addressing numerically, which have not a effected by other external waves. Thus, the novel features are different from these usual features of solitons, which have not a effected by other external waves.

Integrability, and stability aspects for the non-autonomous perturbed Gardner KP equation: Solitons, breathers, [formula omitted]-type resonance and soliton interactions

This article examines the soliton-type solutions, their interactions, and the integrable properties of a non-autonomous perturbed Gardner KP (NPGKP) equation. For the NPGKP equation under consideration, a bilinear structure, and a Bäcklund transformation are designed explicitly, which claim the integrability of the system under some constraints. The stability of the obtained solutions is discussed using modulation instability. The bilinear form demonstrates the dynamic characteristics of multiple solitons, breathers, and their interactions in response to external impulses. Furthermore, it allows for determining the solitons’ amplitudes and velocities. The two-soliton solution yields a first-order breather solution. At the same time, the analytical investigation focuses on the interaction between a single breather and a single-soliton within the multi-soliton solution. This investigation also identifies the resonance of Y-shaped solitons and examines the dynamical characteristics of the interaction between resonant Y-shaped solitons and M-fissionable pulses. The multi-shock solutions and the collisions between shocks are analyzed in the presence of external influences. Graphical representations of the relationships between different sorts of achieved solutions are provided explicitly.

The multiple bright soliton pairs of the fully PT-symmetric nonlocal Davey-Stewartson I equation

This article investigates the dynamics of multiple bright soliton pair interactions in the fully PT -symmetric nonlocal Davey–Stewartson I equation. The bright soliton pair solutions are derived by employing the bilinear KP-hierarchy reduction method, and are expressed in terms of determinants. To study the interactions of the multiple soliton pairs, the long-time asymptotic analysis for these soliton solutions is performed by using the analysis of determinants, and the asymptotic expressions of the N individual soliton pair solutions are given as the sum of expressions for the 2N single soliton solutions. The asymptotics shows that the soliton pairs only exhibit elastic collisions and the two solitons in each soliton pair share equal amplitudes

Solitonic solutions and study of nonlinear wave dynamics in a Murnaghan hyperelastic circular pipe

Abstract This research article delves into the intricate domain of nonlinear wave dynamics within the framework of a Murnaghan hyperelastic circular pipe. Thus, the current study makes use of some powerful analytical approaches to examine the propagation of nonlinear elastic waves on a Murnaghan hyperelastic circular pipe. The work is exceptional since it allows for the incorporation of double dispersion terms and material nonlinearity in the controlling nonlinear mode. The study entails a thorough examination of the propagation and interaction of solitons within the Murnaghan hyperelastic medium, providing insights into the distinctive nonlinear wave phenomena manifested by circular pipe configurations. Theoretical insights are substantiated by numerical simulations, presenting a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic responses within these elastic structures. In the end, graphical representations of some of the derived solutions have been provided for clarification. In addition, the reported solutions in the study help researchers working in modern fields of engineering and materials science to obtain valuable insights that can inform the design, analysis, and optimization of materials and structures in contemporary applications.

Localized wave structures: Solitons and beyond

The review is concerned with solitary waves and other localized structures in the systems described by a variety of generalizations of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. Among the topics we focus upon are “radiating solitons,” the generic structures made of soliton-like pulses, and oscillating tails. We also review the properties of solitary waves in the generalized KdV equations with the modular and “sublinear” nonlinearities. Such equations have an interesting class of solutions, called compactons, solitary waves defined on a finite spatial interval. Both the properties of single solitons and the interactions between them are discussed. We show that even minor non-elastic effects in the soliton–soliton collisions can accumulate and result in a qualitatively different asymptotic behavior. A statistical description of soliton ensembles (“soliton gas”), which emerges as a major theme, has been discussed for several models. We briefly outline the recent progress in studies of ring solitons and lumps within the framework of the cylindrical KdV equation and its two-dimensional extension. Ring solitons and lumps (2D solitons) are of particular interest since they have many features in common with classical solitons and yet are qualitatively different. Particular attention is paid to interactions between the objects of different geometries, such as the interaction of ring solitons and shear flows, ring solitons and lumps, and lumps and line solitons. We conclude our review with views of the future developments of the selected lines of studies of localized wave structures in the theory of weakly nonlinear, weakly dispersive waves.

Fusion and fission phenomena in a (2+1)-dimensional Sawada-Kotera type system

In this study, we extend the generalized multilinear variable separation approach to a fifth-order nonlinear evolution equation. By performing asymptotic analysis on the variable separation solution, which is composed of three lower-dimensional functions, we identify a resonant regime governing dromion-dromion/solitoff interactions. In the case of two-dromion interactions, elastic, inelastic, and completely inelastic collisions are possible, while for the dromion-solitoff interaction only inelastic and completely inelastic collisions are permitted. Furthermore, we derive two types of semi-rational solutions from the quadratic function ansatz. In particular, in the scenario of a completely resonant collision between a lump and a line-soliton pair, the lump separates from one line soliton and exists briefly before merging with the other soliton, forming a localized lump in both time and space dimensions. The fusion or fission phenomena between the dromion-dromion/solitoff interaction and the lump-line soliton interaction are shown graphically.

Multi-soliton solutions of coupled Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equations with variable coefficients under nonzero boundary conditions

Abstract This paper aims to investigate the multi-soliton solutions of the coupled Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equations with variable coefficients under nonzero boundary conditions. These equations are utilized to model the phenomenon of nonlinear waves propagating simultaneously in non-uniform optical fibers. By analyzing the Lax pair and the Riemann–Hilbert problem, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and interactions of solitons of this system. Furthermore, we study the impacts of group velocity dispersion or the fourth-order dispersion on soliton behaviors. Through appropriate parameter selections, we observe various nonlinear phenomena, including the disappearance of solitons after interaction and their transformation into breather-like solitons, as well as the propagation of breathers with variable periodicity and interactions between solitons with variable periodicities.

Bright solitons and interaction in the higher-order Gross-Pitaevskii equation investigated with Hirota's bilinear method

In this paper, we investigate bright solitons and their interactions in trapless Bose-Einstein condensate described by a one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the presence of higher-order nonlinearity. By constructing appropriate Hirota bilinear form of the problem, we derive the one- and two-bright soliton solutions where the effects of the higher-order interaction term are discussed in details. The profile of different solutions obtained clearly presents the phenomenon of soliton interaction that embodies the properties of soliton. It also highlights the impact of higher-order interactions that plays the role of wave amplification/compression resulting from the condensate. The theoretical results confirm that Hirota bilinear method is an efficient and interesting tool for the analysis of nonlinearity in physical science. In addition, the higher-order interactions have significant effects on the stabilization process of Bose-Einstein condensates.

INTERACTION BETWEEN A BEYOND-BAND DISCRETE SOLITON AND A DIRAC SOLITON IN BINARY WAVEGUIDE ARRAYS

We investigate the intricate interactions between a beyond-band discrete soliton (BBDS) and Dirac soliton in a binary waveguide array (BWA). Through comprehensive analysis, we demonstrate that the behavior of these soliton interactions remains largely unaffected by the presence of central peaks or dips at the center of each soliton, or the initial phase differences between them. Our research highlights the critical role of the BBDS intensity in determining the nature of its interaction with Dirac solitons. We reveal that low-intensity BBDS exhibit consistent attraction towards Dirac solitons across multiple encounters, while high-intensity BBDSs show an initial phase of attraction followed by a repulsion phase, causing a subsequent divergence. These findings not only enhance our understanding of soliton interactions on a fundamental level but also set the stage for the development of innovative optical communication and signal processing technologies leveraging the distinctive properties of BBDSs and Dirac solitons.

A special form of solution to complex valued Benjamin–Ono equations

We investigate a special form of solution to the complex valued Benjamin–Ono (cBO) equation. Under the special form of solution involving Hilbert transform, the complex valued (modified) Benjamin–Ono equations are equivalent to the quadratic (cubic) derivative Schrödinger equations. The soliton interaction dynamics is used to construct a finite time blowup solution of the cBO equation on R. We also find static solutions. Applying Cole–Hopf transformation to quadratic derivative Schrödinger equation, we derive a linear Schrödinger equation with a special form of initial data from which some solutions to cBO equation can be obtained by an inverse transform.

Real-time observation of soliton pulsation and explosion in an Yb-doped fiber laser

Nonlinear dissipative systems support pulsating solutions and exhibit many interesting dynamic behaviors. Here, we report various soliton pulsations and explosions in an all-normal dispersion ytterbium-doped fiber laser by utilizing the dispersive Fourier transform technique. By the different soliton dynamics, these phenomena can be classified into single-soliton pulsation and explosion, dual-soliton synchronous and asynchronous pulsation, as well as dual-soliton asynchronous explosion. Solitons exhibit identical periodic fluctuations in the synchronous pulsation while showing the anti-phase behavior in asynchronous pulsation. The dual-soliton asynchronous pulsation might be related to the periodic modulation of the polarization state of solitons. As for the dual-soliton asynchronous explosion, it can be regarded as the asynchronously triggered transient solitons containing periodic explosion through the gain-mediated soliton interactions. These findings may provide new insights into complex dynamics in the field of ultrafast lasers.

Dynamical and statistical features of soliton interactions in the focusing Gardner equation.

In this paper, the dynamical properties of soliton interactions in the focusing Gardner equation are analyzed by the conventional two-soliton solution and its degenerate cases. Using the asymptotic expressions of interacting solitons, it is shown that the soliton polarities depend on the signs of phase parameters, and that the degenerate solitons in the mixed and rational forms have variable velocities with the time dependence of attenuation. By means of extreme value analysis, the interaction points in different interaction scenarios are presented with exact determination of positions and occurrence times of high transient waves generated in the bipolar soliton interactions. Next, with all types of two-soliton interaction scenarios considered, the interactions of two solitons with different polarities are quantitatively shown to have a greater contribution to the skewness and kurtosis than those with the same polarity. Specifically, the ratios of spectral parameters (or soliton amplitudes) are determined when the bipolar soliton interactions have the strongest effects on the skewness and kurtosis. In addition, numerical simulations are conducted to examine the properties of multi-soliton interactions and their influence on higher statistical moments, especially confirming the emergence of the soliton interactions described by the mixed and rational solutions in a denser soliton ensemble.

A (2+1) -dimensional evolution model of Rossby waves and its resonance Y-type soliton and interaction solutions

In this paper, we derive a Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation by using the multi-scale expansion and perturbation method, which is a model from the potential vorticity equation in the traditional approximation and describes the Rossby wave propagation properties. The N-soliton solutions, resonance Y-type soliton solutions, resonance X-type soliton solutions and interaction solutions of the equation are obtained with the help of dependent-variable transformation. In addition, the composite graphs are given to view the resonance phenomenon of Rossby waves. The results better enrich the research of Rossby waves in ocean dynamics and atmospheric dynamics.

Magnetic soliton and breather interactions for the higher-order Heisenberg ferromagnetic equation via the iterative N-fold Darboux transformation

This paper focuses on a higher-order Heisenberg ferromagnetic equation, which may describe the motion of the magnetic vector of isotropic ferromagnetism. The iterative N-fold Darboux transformation is first constructed to generate the dark and anti-dark magnetic solitons on the non-zero constant backgrounds, bright and dark breathers on the trigonometric function and non-zero constant backgrounds as well as breathers on the trigonometric function and vanishing backgrounds. We discover that the soliton structures of three different components can generate rotation with different constant seed solutions. Meanwhile, the trajectory curve and the direction of the magnetic vector are also discussed from the perspective of magnetism, we find that for constant seed solutions, the motion of the magnetic vector is limited to the hemisphere, while for trigonometric seed solutions, the motion of the magnetic vector can be distributed throughout the whole sphere. These novel phenomena may be helpful to understand the dynamics of the magnetic vector in the magnetic materials.

N‐fold Darboux transformation of the discrete PT‐symmetric nonlinear Schrödinger equation and new soliton solutions over the nonzero background

AbstractFor the discrete PT‐symmetric nonlinear Schrödinger (dPTNLS) equation, this paper gives a rigorous proof of the N‐fold Darboux transformation (DT) and especially verifies the PT‐symmetric relation between transformed potentials in the Lax pair. Meanwhile, some determinant identities are developed in completing the proof. When the tanh‐function solution is directly selected as a seed for the focusing case, the onefold DT yields a three‐soliton solution that exhibits the solitonic behavior with a wide range of parameter regimes. Moreover, it is shown that the solution contains three pairs of asymptotic solitons, and that each asymptotic soliton can display both the dark and antidark soliton profiles or vanish as . It indicates that the focusing dPTNLS equation admits a rich variety of soliton interactions over the nonzero background, behaving like those in the continuous counterpart.

Decomposition and linear superposition of the (2+1)-dimensional Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–Kotera–Sawada equation

Generally, the principle of linear superposition is not applicable in nonlinear systems. The results of our researches prove that for some certain types of decomposed solutions of (2+1)-dimensional Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–Kotera–Sawada(CDGKS) equation, the linear superposition principle holds. First, beginning with the potential (2+1)-dimensional CDGKS equation, six sets of decomposition equations are formulated by the formally variable separation approach. On the basis of these decompositions, the linear superposition solutions are then discussed. More specifically, the combination of two periodic wave solutions, soliton and periodic wave interaction solution and the multi-soliton solution are obtained.

Internal motion within ultrafast asynchronous dual wavelength mode-locked lasers.

Realtime spectroscopy access to ultrafast fiber lasers provides new opportunities for exploring complex soliton interaction dynamics. In this study, we employ a time-stretch technique that enables real-time access to both spectral and temporal dynamics, revealing rich nonlinear processes in asynchronous dual wavelength mode-locked pulses in an ultrafast fiber laser. Due to the different group velocities of the two wavelengths, the mode-locked solitons centered at different wavelengths periodically collide with each other. We recorded the entire process of soliton establishment, stabilization, and disappearance, shedding light on the mystery of stable transmission of dual-wavelength mode-locked pulses. These processes were observed for the first time in an ultrafast fiber laser, and the experimental evidence provides important insights into the understanding of nonlinear dynamics in fiber lasers, as well as the potential for improving laser performance for application in dual-comb spectroscopy.
