Pattern Formation and Solitons
This concise review aims to provide a summary of the most relevant recent experimental and theoretical results for solitons, i.e., self-trapped bound states of nonlinear waves, in two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) media. In comparison…
We introduce and study the spatial replicator equation with higher order interactions and both infinite (spatially homogeneous) populations and finite (spatially inhomogeneous) populations. We show that in the special case of three…
We investigate theoretically and numerically the dynamics of long-living oscillating coherent structures - bi-solitons - in the exact and approximate models for waves on the free surface of deep water. We generate numerically the…
Symmetry-breaking instabilities play an important role in understanding the mechanisms underlying the diversity of patterns observed in nature, such as in Turing's reaction--diffusion theory, which connects cellular signalling and transport…
This paper is concerned with the processes of spatial propagation and penetration of turbulence from the regions where it is locally excited into initially laminar regions. The phenomenon has come to be known as "turbulence spreading" and…
We have found two kinds of ultra-sensitive vibrational resonance in coupled nonlinear systems. It is particularly worth pointing out that this ultra-sensitive vibrational resonance is a transient behavior caused by transient chaos.…
Topological signals are dynamical variables not only defined on nodes but also on links of a network that are gaining significant attention in non-linear dynamics and topology and have important applications in brain dynamics. Here we show…
The Swift-Hohenberg equation (SHE) is a partial differential equation that explains how patterns emerge from a spatially homogeneous state. It has been widely used in the theory of pattern formation. Following a recent study by Bramburger…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of electromagnetic wave propagation in hyperbolic nonlinear media. To address this problem, we consider the scalar hyperbolic nonlinear Schr\"odinger system and its coupled version, namely…
In recent work, we have proposed a theory for the derivation of an exact nonlinear dispersion relation for elastic wave propagation which here we consider for a thin rod (linearly nondispersive) and a thick rod (linearly dispersive). The…
We study waves on infinite one-dimensional lattices of particles that each interact with all others through power-law forces $F \sim r^{-\beta}$. The inverse-cube case corresponds to Calogero-Moser systems, which are well known to be…
We revisit the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice (FPUT) with quadratic and cubic nonlinear interactions in the continuous limit by deducing the Gardner equation. Through the Hirota bilinear method, multi-soliton solutions are obtained for…
We have shown that the wave scattering by a soliton occurs in a peculiar way. The nonlinear interaction leads to the generation of waves with frequencies that are multiples of the frequency of the incident wave, minus the frequency of the…
Shift manipulation of intrinsic localized mode (ILM) is numerically discussed in an ac driven Klein Gordon lattice. Before the manipulation, we introduce the 2-degree of freedom nonlinear system, which is obtained by reducing the lattice.…
We propose a procedure for computing the direct scattering transform of the periodic sine-Gordon equation. This procedure, previously used within the periodic Korteweg-de Vries equation framework, is implemented for the case of the…
Breather solutions are considered to be generally accepted models of rogue waves. However, breathers are not localized, while wavefields in nature can generally be considered as localized due to the limited spatial dimensions. Hence, the…
We propose a new model for pattern formation in peeling of an adhesive tape based on the equation of motion for the displacement of deformed adhesives in the peel front. The spatiotemporal patterns obtained from the model are consistent…
Flat band systems can yield interesting phenomena, such as dispersion suppression of waves with frequency at the band. While linear transport vanishes, the corresponding nonlinear case is still an open question. Here, we study power…
We introduce discrete and p-adic continuous versions of the FitzHugh-Nagumo system on the one-dimensional p-adic unit ball. We provide criteria for the existence of Turing patterns. We present extensive simulations of some of these systems.…
The influence of discreteness on the fluxon scattering on the dipole-like impurity is studied. This kind of impurity is used to model the qubit inductively coupled to the Josephson transmission line (JTL). The previously proposed fluxon…
