Multi-component structure of nonlinear excitations in systems with length-scale competition

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We investigate the properties of nonlinear excitations in different types of soliton bearing systems with long-range dispersive interaction. We show that length-scale competition in such systems universally results in a multi-component structure of nonlinear excitations and can lead to a new type of multistability: coexistence of different nonlinear excitations at the same value of the spectral parameter (i.e., velocity in the case of anharmonic lattices or frequency in nonlinear Schroedinger models).
