Pattern Formation and Solitons
The paper considers the dynamics of nonlinear surface plasmon polariton waves in a planar plasmon waveguide, which is a heterostructure of non-magnetic metallic and dielectric layers. The obtained in the work nonlinear equations and their…
During the summer, vast regions of Arctic sea ice are covered by meltwater ponds that significantly lower the ice reflectivity and accelerate melting. Ponds develop over the melt season through an initial rapid growth stage followed by…
In multi-component systems, several rogue waves can be simultaneously excited using simple initial conditions in the form of a plane wave with a small amplitude single-peak perturbation. This is in drastic contrast with the case of…
Physics of nonlinear waves on variable backgrounds and the relevant mathematical analysis continues to be the challenging aspect of the study. In this work, we consider a (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear model describing the dynamics of {water…
Our ability to predict the future of Arctic sea ice is limited by ice's sensitivity to detailed surface conditions such as the distribution of snow and melt ponds. Snow on top of the ice decreases ice's thermal conductivity, increases its…
We show theoretically that dark solitons can exist in the presence of pure quartic dispersion, and also in the presence of both quadratic and quartic dispersive effects, displaying a much greater variety of possible solutions and dynamics…
We study the effects of an uneven bottom on the internal wave propagation in the presence of stratification and underlying non-uniform currents. Thus, the presented models incorporate vorticity (wave-current interactions), geophysical…
In this paper, we analyze the effect of optical feedback on the dynamics of a passively mode-locked ring laser operating in the regime of temporal localized structures. This laser system is modeled by a system of delay differential…
The Kawahara equation is a weakly nonlinear long-wave model of dispersive waves that emerges when leading order dispersive effects are in balance with the next order correction. Traveling wave solutions of the Kawahara equation satisfy a…
We construct a nonlinear lattice that has a particular symmetry in its potential function consisting of long-range pairwise interactions. The symmetry enhances smooth propagation of discrete breathers, and it is defined by an invariance of…
Solitary states emerge in oscillator networks when one oscillator separates from the fully synchronized cluster and becomes incoherent with the rest of the network. Such chimera-type patterns with an incoherent state formed by a single…
The multi-peak solitons and their stability are investigated for the nonlocal nonlinear system with the sine-oscillation response, including both the cases of positive and negative Kerr coefficients. The Hermite-Gaussian-type multi-peak…
We consider the interplay of repulsive short-range and same-sign long-range interactions in the dynamics of dark solitons, as prototypical coherent nonlinear excitations in a trapped 1D Bose gas. First, the form of the ground state is…
Nonlinear stripe patterns occur in many different systems, from the small scales of biological cells to geological scales as cloud patterns. They all share the universal property of being stable at different wavenumbers $q$, i.e., they are…
In this work we identify and investigate a novel bifurcation in conserved systems. This secondary bifurcation stops active phase separation in its nonlinear regime. It is then either replaced by an extended, system-filling, spatially…
We report nonlinear vibration localisation in a system of two symmetric weakly coupled nonlinear oscillators. A two degree-of-freedom model with piecewise linear stiffness shows bifurcations to localised solutions. An experimental…
In a recent article, Huda et al. demonstrated tuneable topological domain wall states in the c(2$\times$2) chlorinated Cu(100). Their system allows to experimentally tune the domain wall states using atom manipulation by the tip of a…
We prove the existence of time-periodic solutions and spatially localised solutions (breathers), in general nonlinear Klein-Gordon infinite lattices. The existence problem is converted into a fixed point problem for an operator on some…
For the Schnakenberg model, we consider a highly symmetric configuration of N spikes whose locations are located at the vertices of a regular N-gon inside either a unit disk or an annulus. We call such configuration a ring of spikes. The…
We show that a number of nonlinear equations including symmetric as well as asymmetric $\phi^4$, modified Korteweg de Vries (MKdV), mixed KdV-MKdV, nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS), quadratic-cubic NLS as well as higher order neutral scalar…
