On the lifespan of nonzero background solutions to a class of focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The global solvability in time and the potential for blow-up of solutions to non-integrable focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations with nonzero boundary conditions at infinity present challenges that are less explored and understood compared to the case of zero boundary conditions. In this work, we address these questions by establishing estimates on the lifespan of solutions to non-integrable equations involving a general class of nonlinearities. These estimates depend on the size of the initial data, the growth of the nonlinearity, and relevant quantities associated with the amplitude of the background. The estimates provide quantified upper bounds for the minimum guaranteed lifespan of solutions. Qualitatively, for small initial data and background, these upper bounds suggest long survival times consistent with global existence of solutions. On the other hand, for larger initial data and background, the estimates indicate the potential for the intriguing phenomenon of instantaneous collapse in finite time. These qualitative theoretical results are illustrated via numerical simulations. Furthermore, importantly, the numerical findings motivate the proof of improved theoretical upper bounds that provide excellent quantitative agreement with the order of the numerically identified lifespan of solutions.

On the two nonzero boundary problems of the AB system with multiple poles

The Riemann–Hilbert method is used to study AB systems with two nonzero boundary conditions. In order to reconstruct the potentials, spectral analysis of Lax pair and the corresponding Riemann–Hilbert problem are discussed. For these two nonzero boundary problems, we consider the cases where the sectional analytic functions have double and triple poles, respectively. The derived scattering data has multiple zeros or pairs of multiple zeros, from which the relationship between the eigenfunctions at the corresponding poles can be obtained. By solving algebraic equations, we can derive the formulas of N-order solutions in different cases. As an application, we obtain different types of solitons and breathers in the reflectionless case and the dynamic analysis of these solutions is revealed.

Riemann–Hilbert approach and soliton solutions for the Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation with nonzero boundary conditions

We construct the Riemann–Hilbert problem of the Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation with nonzero boundary conditions, and use the Laurent expansion and Taylor series expansion to obtain the exact formulas of the soliton solutions in the case of a higher-order pole and multiple higher-order poles. The dynamic behaviors of a simple pole, a second-order pole and a simple pole plus a second-order pole are demonstrated.

Inverse scattering transform for the higher-order integrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions

The inverse scattering transform is a tool for solving the initial value problem of nonlinear equations, and the solution of the initial-value problem by inverse scattering transform proceeds in three steps: direct scattering, time evolution and inverse problem. In this paper, we discuss the higher-order integrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation which is subjected to inverse scattering transform under nonzero boundary conditions, and the corresponding soliton solutions are obtained and illustrated.

Dynamics of fundamental and double-pole breathers and solitons for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with sextic operator under non-zero boundary conditions

Abstract We study the dynamics of fundamental and double-pole breathers and solitons for the focusing and defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the sextic operator under non-zero boundary conditions. Our analysis mainly focuses on the dynamical properties of simple- and double-pole solutions. Firstly, through verification, we find that solutions under non-zero boundary conditions can be transformed into solutions under zero boundary conditions, whether in simple-pole or double-pole cases. For the focusing case, in the investigation of simple-pole solutions, temporal periodic breather and the spatial-temporal periodic breather are obtained by modulating parameters. Additionally, in the case of multi-pole solitons, we analyze parallel-state solitons, bound-state solitons, and intersecting solitons, providing a brief analysis of their interactions. In the double-pole case, we observe that the two solitons undergo two interactions, resulting in a distinctive “triangle” crest. Furthermore, for the defocusing case, we briefly consider two situations of simple-pole solutions, obtaining one and two dark solitons.

Optical solitons and their propagations in a time-varying coefficient modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-zero boundary conditions via Riemann–Hilbert method

In this article, a time-varying coefficient modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation (tvcmNLSE) with non-zero boundary conditions (NZBCs) at infinity, phase term of which contains time-varying coefficients, is proposed to describe the nonlinear propagation behavior of optical pulses in non-uniform optical fibre. Meanwhile, the Riemann–Hilbert method (RHM) for the tvcmNLSE with NZBCs is presented for the first time. Specifically, a special transformation is constructed to convert the tvcmNLSE with NZBCs into the case with constant NZBCs, and the associated asymptotic spectral problem (ASP) is obtained. By introducing a suitable two-piece Riemann surface to map the original spectral parameter into a single-valued one, and analyzing the ASP, we construct the corresponding Jost solutions and spectral matrix, and sequentially analyze their analytical, symmetric, and asymptotic properties. Then, a generalized Riemann–Hilbert problem (RHP) is established that relates to the converted tvcmNLSE with constant NZBCs. Using the reconstruction formula, we further derive N-soliton solution with NZBCs in the absence of reflection potential, and analyze the dynamic characteristics of single and double solitons. Most notably, by modulating discrete spectral points (DSPs) and time-varying coefficients, we discover some previously unreported new waveforms, such as parabolic and periodic solitons with NZBCs. These waveforms have important implications in both theory and practice. In addition, the influences of different time-varying coefficients, NZBCs, and DSPs on soliton solutions are also discussed and analyzed. This study shows that the selection of time-varying coefficients, distribution of DSPs, and constraints from NZBCs all have significant impacts on the properties of soliton solutions.

Extreme Superposition: High-Order Fundamental Rogue Waves in the Far-Field Regime

This Memoir concerns fundamental rogue-wave solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the limit that the order of the rogue wave is large and the independent variables ( x , t ) (x,t) are proportional to the order (the far-field limit). We first formulate a Riemann-Hilbert representation of these solutions that allows the order to vary continuously rather than by integer increments. The intermediate solutions in this continuous family include also soliton solutions for zero boundary conditions spectrally encoded by a single complex-conjugate pair of poles of arbitrary order, as well as other solutions having nonzero boundary conditions matching those of the rogue waves albeit with far slower decay as x → ± ∞ x\to \pm \infty . The large-order far-field asymptotic behavior of the solution depends on which of three disjoint regions C \mathcal {C} (the “channels”), S \mathcal {S} (the “shelves”), and E \mathcal {E} (the “exterior domain”) contains the rescaled variables. On the region C \mathcal {C} , the amplitude is small and the solution is highly oscillatory, while on the region S \mathcal {S} , the solution is approximated by a modulated plane wave with a highly oscillatory correction term. The asymptotic behavior on these two domains is the same for all continuous orders. Assuming that the order belongs to the discrete sequence characteristic of rogue-wave solutions, the asymptotic behavior of the solution on the region E \mathcal {E} resembles that on S \mathcal {S} but without the oscillatory correction term. Solutions of other continuous orders behave quite differently on E \mathcal {E} .

A remark on the nonsteady micropolar pipe flow with a dynamic boundary condition for the microrotation

The goal of this paper is to provide a rigorous justification of the asymptotic model proposed by Beneš et al. [Nonzero boundary condition for the unsteady micropolar pipe flow: well-posedness and asymptotics, Appl. Math. Comput. 427 (2022), Paper No. 127184, 22] for the time-dependent flow of a micropolar fluid in a thin cylindrical pipe. After proving the well-posedness of the governing initial-boundary value problem endowed with the dynamic boundary condition for the microrotation, we derive the suitable a priori estimates. Using this result, we evaluate the difference between the original solution and the asymptotic one in the corresponding functional norms. By doing that, we validate the usage of the proposed model and deduce the information about its order of accuracy.

Riemann–Hilbert problem for the defocusing Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation with fully asymmetric nonzero boundary conditions

Abstract In this work, Riemann-Hilbert approach is demonstrated to investigate the defocusing Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel equation with fully asymmetric non-zero boundary conditions. In contrast to the symmetry case, this paper focuses at the branch points related to the scattering problem rather than using the Riemann surfaces. For the direct problem, we analyse the Jost solution of lax pairs and some properties of scattering matrix, including two kinds of symmetries. The inverse problem at branch points can be presented, corresponding to the associated Riemann-Hilbert. Moreover, we investigate the time evolution problem and estimate the value of solving the solutions by Jost function. For the inverse problem, we construct it as a Riemann-Hilbert problem and formulate the reconstruction formula for the defocusing Lakshmanan-PorsezianDaniel equation. The solutions of the Riemann-Hilbert problem can be constructed by estimating the solutions. Finally, we work out the solutions with fully asymmetric non-zero boundary conditions precisely via utilizing Sokhotski-Plemelj formula and the square of the negative column transformation with the assistance of Riemann surfaces. These results are valuable for understanding physical phenomena and developing further applications of optical problems.

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.

Riemann-Hilbert approach and double-pole solutions for the third-order flow equation of DNLS-type equation with nonzero boundary conditions

In this paper, the Riemann-Hilbert approach is applied to study a third-order flow equation of derivative nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation with nonzero boundary conditions. By utilizing the analytical, symmetric, and asymptotic properties of eigenfunctions, a generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem is formulated for the third-order flow equation of derivative nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation with nonzero boundary conditions. The formulas of N-soliton solutions for cases of single pole and double poles are given. We present some kinds of soliton solutions of these two cases according to different distributions of spectral parameters to study the dynamical behavior of them.

Riemann–Hilbert approach, dark solitons and double‐pole solutions for Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation in an optical fiber, a ferromagnetic spin or a protein

AbstractInverse scattering transform for the defocusing Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation with nonzero boundary condition is constructed via the Riemann–Hilbert approach. Since poles of the associated reflection coefficient are simple, ‐dark soliton solutions corresponding to simple poles are constructed. For ‐dark soliton solutions, results show that the soliton amplitude and width are not affected by the strength of the higher‐order linear and nonlinear effects , but soliton velocity has a linear correlation with ; the interactions between the two‐dark solitons and among the three‐dark solitons are elastic and experience phase and position shifts. Besides, asymptotic analysis of the double‐pole solutions for the focusing Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation with nonzero boundary condition is presented. Different from ‐dark soliton solutions which locate in the straight lines and experience position shift after the interaction, the double‐pole solutions diverge from each other logarithmically and experience no position shift after the interaction.

Multi-pole solitons and breathers for a nonlocal Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel equation with non-zero boundary conditions

Utilizing the Riemann-Hilbert approach, we study the inverse scattering transformation, as well as multi-pole solitons and breathers, for a nonlocal Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel equation with non-zero boundary conditions at infinity. Beginning with the Lax pair, we introduce the uniformization variable to simplify both the direct and inverse problems on the two-sheeted Riemann surface. In the direct scattering problem, we systematically demonstrate the analyticity, asymptotic behaviors and symmetries of the Jost functions and scattering matrix. By solving the corresponding matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem, we work out the multi-pole solutions expressed as determinants for the reflectionless potential. Based on the parameter modulation, the dynamical properties of the simple-, double- and triple-pole solutions are investigated. In the defocusing cases, we show abundant simple-pole solitons including dark solitons, anti-dark-dark solitons, double-hump solitons, as well as double- and triple-pole solitons. In addition, the asymptotic expressions for the double-pole soliton solutions are presented. In the focusing cases, we illustrate the propagations of simple-pole, double-pole, and triple-pole breathers. Furthermore, the multi-pole breather solutions can be reduced to the bright soliton solutions for the focusing nonlocal Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel equation.

Rogue wave pattern of multi-component derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

This paper studies the multi-component derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (n-DNLS) equations featuring nonzero boundary conditions. Employing the Darboux transformation method, we derive higher-order vector rogue wave solutions for the n-DNLS equations. Specifically, we focus on the distinctive scenario where the (n+1)-order characteristic polynomial possesses an explicit (n+1)-multiple root. Additionally, we provide an in-depth analysis of the asymptotic dynamic behaviors and pattern classification inherent to the higher-order vector rogue wave solution of the n-DNLS equations, mainly when one of the internal arbitrary parameters is extremely large. These patterns are related to the root structures in the generalized Wronskian-Hermite polynomial hierarchies.

Riemann–Hilbert approach for the inhomogeneous discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions

In this paper, we systematically investigate the Riemann–Hilbert (RH) approach and obtain the soliton solutions for the inhomogeneous discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with nonzero boundary conditions (NZBCs). Starting from the spectral problem and introducing the uniformization variable κ to avoid the complexity of double-valued function and Riemann surface, we deduce the analyticity, asymptotics and symmetries of the eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients, then the RH problem and reconstruction formula for the potential are successfully constructed. Under reflectionless condition and combining the time evolution of the scattering coefficients and eigenfunctions, we obtain various first-order soliton solutions with different direction of propagation caused by the change of the coefficients. Based on the analytic solution and the choice of special parameter values, we obtain the collision mechanism of two soliton solutions. Furthermore, the important advantage of the RH problem is that it can be further used to study the soliton resolution and the long-time asymptotic behavior of the solutions.
