Pattern Formation and Solitons
We introduce and study a family of lattice equations which may be viewed either as a strongly nonlinear discrete extension of the Gardner equation, or a non-convex variant of the Lotka-Volterra chain. Their deceptively simple form supports…
Plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) in advanced materials has attracted extensive attention for both theoretical and applied physics. Here, we considered a scheme that can produce PIT and studied the characteristics of ultraslow low-power…
We find Skyrmion-like topological excitations for a two-dimensional spin-1/2 system. Expressing the spinor wavefunction in terms of a rotation operator maps the spin-1/2 system to a Manakov system. We employ both analytical and numerical…
Irrotational ow of a spherical thin liquid layer surrounding a rigid core is described using the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Accordingly, azimuthal moving nonlinear waves are modeled by periodic dark solitons expressed by…
The graphene superlattice equation, a modified sine-Gordon equation, governs the propagation of solitary electromagnetic waves in a graphene superlattice. This equation has kink solutions without explicit analytical expression, requiring…
Starting from Maxwell equations for media with no-stationary linear and nonlinear polarization, we obtain a set of nonlinear Maxwell amplitude equations in approximation of first order of the dispersion. After a special kind of complex…
In an oscillatory medium, a region which oscillates faster than its surroundings can act as a source of outgoing waves. Such pacemaker-generated waves can synchronize the whole medium and are present in many chemical and biological systems,…
We study the emergence of dissipative localized states in phase mismatched singly resonant optical parametric oscillators. These states arise in two different bistable configurations due to the locking of fronts waves connecting the two…
We report the existence of vectorial dark dissipative solitons in optical cavities subject to a coherently injected beam. We assume that the resonator is operating in a normal dispersion regime far from any modulational instability. We show…
We raise a detuning-dependent loss mechanism to describe the soliton formation dynamics when the lumped filtering operation is manipulated in anomalous group velocity dispersion regime, using stability analysis of generalized…
The lifetimes of localized nonlinear modes in both the $\beta$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou ($\beta$-FPUT) chain and a cubic $\beta$-FPUT lattice are studied as functions of perturbation amplitude, and by extension, the relative strength of the…
The generalized perturbative reduction method is used to find the two-component vector breather solution of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. It is shown that the nonlinear pulse oscillates with the sum and difference of frequencies and…
In weakly nonlinear systems, the main effect of cubic nonlinearity on wave propagation is an amplitude-dependent correction of the dispersion relation. This phenomenon can manifest either as a frequency shift or as a wavenumber shift…
In this paper, a variable-coefficient symbolic computation approach is proposed to solve the multiple rogue wave solutions of nonlinear equation with variable coefficients. As an application, a (2+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient…
In this article, we derive exact analytical expressions for the spatial Fourier spectrum of the soliton family on a constant background. Also known as breathers, these solitons are exact solutions of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation and…
We report the appearance of a scroll ring and scroll toroid chimera states from the proposed initial conditions for the Kuramoto model of coupled phase oscillators in the 3D grid topology with inertia. The proposed initial conditions…
Axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric patterns in the cubic-quintic Swift-Hohenberg equation posed on a disk with Neumann boundary conditions are studied via numerical continuation and bifurcation analysis. Axisymmetric localized solutions in…
We study ``nanoptera'', which are non-localized solitary waves with exponentially small but non-decaying oscillations, in two singularly-perturbed Hertzian chains with precompression. These two systems are woodpile chains (which we model as…
Scientists have observed and studied diffusive waves in contexts as disparate as population genetics and cell signaling. Often, these waves are propagated by discrete entities or agents, such as individual cells in the case of cell…
New localized structured solutions for the three-dimensional linear diffusion (heat) equation are presented. These new solutions are written in terms of Airy functions and either Gaussian or Bessel functions. They accelerate along their…
