Pattern Formation and Solitons
We analyze the interaction of lattice vibrations (phonon wave-packets) with an asymmetric kink soliton initially at rest. We employ the $\phi^6$ model in one space and one time dimensions for various lattice spacings and consider two…
We investigate the existence and propagation properties of all possible types of envelope soliton pulses in a birefringent optical fiber wherein the light propagation is governed by two coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations with coherent…
This article presents a concise survey of basic discrete and semi-discrete nonlinear models which produce two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) solitons, and a summary of main theoretical and experimental results obtained for such…
We study numerically a discrete, nonlinear lattice, which is formed by a chain of pendula submitted to a harmonic-driving source with constant amplitude and parametrical excitation. A supratransmission phenomenon is obtained after the…
This paper examines the effects of a thin layer of inhomogeneity on periodic solutions of the Multiple-sine-Gordon (MsG) model. We investigate the dynamics of the perturbed Double-sine-Gordon (DsG) system as a significant and more practical…
We investigate fast collisions between pulsed optical beams in a linear medium with weak cubic loss that arises due to nondegenerate two-photon absorption. We introduce a perturbation method with two small parameters and use it to obtain…
We experimentally realize the Peregrine soliton in a highly particle-imbalanced two-component repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate in the immiscible regime. The effective focusing dynamics and resulting modulational instability of the…
We consider instability and localized patterns arising from long wave-short wave (LWSW) resonance in the non-integrable regime numerically. We study the stability and instability of elliptic-function periodic waves with respect to…
We introduce a model which gives rise to self-trapping of fundamental and higher-order localized states in a one-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with fractional diffraction and the strength of the self-defocusing nonlinearity…
In this work, we analyzed theoretically and experimentally the nonlinear dynamics of a magnetic pendulum driven by a coil-magnet interaction. The force between the magnetic elements and the resulting torque on the pendulum are derived using…
Topological invariants such as winding numbers and linking numbers appear as charges of topological solitons in diverse nonlinear physical systems described by a unit vector field defined on two and three dimensional manifolds. While the…
The prepared doctoral dissertation focuses on studying dynamics of systems composed of magnetic pendulums subjected to a non-stationary magnetic field. A magnetic pendulum is a physical pendulum with a magnet attached to its end and is…
We demonstrate the existence of semivortex (SV) solitons, with vorticities $0$ and $1$ in the two components, in a two-dimensional (2D) fermionic spinor system under the action of the Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling in the combination with…
Intracellular protein patterns are described by (nearly) mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems. While these patterns initially form out of a homogeneous steady state due to the well-understood Turing instability, no general theory…
This review article provides a concise summary of one- and two-dimensional models for the propagation of linear and nonlinear waves in fractional media. The basic models, which originate from fractional quantum mechanics and more…
Complex topographies exhibit universal properties when fluvial erosion dominates landscape evolution over other geomorphological processes. Similarly, we show that the solutions of a minimalist landscape evolution model display invariant…
We outline a program to classify domain walls (DWs) and vector solitons in the 1D two-component coupled nonlinear Schrodinger (CNLS) equation with general coefficients. The CNLS equation is reduced first to a complex ordinary differential…
We construct two kinds of degenerate soliton solutions, one on the zero background and another on the plane wave background for the coupled Hirota equation. In the case of zero background field, we derive positon solutions of various…
Several excitable systems, such as the heart, self-organize into complex spatio-temporal patterns that involve wave collisions, wave breaks, and rotating vortices, of which the dynamics are incompletely understood. Recently, conduction…
We consider propagation of solitons along large scale background waves in the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (gKdV) equation theory when the width of the soliton is mach smaller than the characteristic size of the background wave. Due to…
