Pattern Formation and Solitons
Soliton molecules have been experimentally discovered in optics and theoretically investigated for coupled systems. This paper is concerned with the formation of soliton molecules by the resonant mechanism for a noncoupled system, the…
We study discrete solitons in zigzag discrete waveguide arrays with different types of linear mixing between nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings. The waveguide array is constructed from two layers of one-dimensional (1D)…
The rule 184 fuzzy cellular automaton is regarded as a mathematical model of traffic flow because it contains the two fundamental traffic flow models, the rule 184 cellular automaton and the Burgers equation, as special cases. We show that…
We consider possibilities to grasp and drag one-dimensional solitons in two-component Bose- Einstein condensates (BECs), under the action of gravity, by tweezers induced by spatially confined spin-orbit (SO) coupling applied to the BEC,…
We consider an extension of the classical Fisher-Kolmogorov equation, called the \textit{Fisher-Stefan} model, which is a moving boundary problem on $0 < x < L(t)$. A key property of the Fisher-Stefan model is the…
In coupled reaction-diffusion systems, modes with two different length scales can interact to produce a wide variety of spatiotemporal patterns. Three-wave interactions between these modes can explain the occurrence of spatially complex…
We present a brief comparative investigation of the bifurcation structure related to the formation of two-dimensional deposition patterns as described by continuum models of Cahn-Hilliard type. These are, on the one hand a driven…
We present a numerical solution in the form of a three-dimensional (3D) vortex soliton in unmagnetized plasma in the model of the generalized Zakharov equations with saturating exponential nonlinearity. To find the solution with a high…
We study symmetry breaking of solitons in the framework of a nonlinear fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equation (NLFSE), characterized by its L\'{e}vy index, with cubic nonlinearity and a symmetric double-well potential. Asymmetric, symmetric,…
Linearization around unstable travelling waves in excitable systems can be used to approximate strength-extent curves in the problem of initiation of excitation waves for a family of spatially confined perturbations to the rest state. This…
Phase-locked states with a constant phase shift between the neighboring oscillators are studied in rings of identical Kuramoto oscillators with time-delayed nearest-neighbor coupling. The linear stability of these states is derived and it…
We address the existence and stability of vortex-soliton (VS) solutions of the fractional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE) with competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities and the L\'evy index (fractionality) taking values 1…
We report water wave experiments performed in a long tank where we consider the evolution of nonlinear deep-water surface gravity waves with the envelope in the form of a large-scale rectangular barrier. Our experiments reveal that, for a…
An overview is given of basic models combining discreteness in their linear parts (i.e. the models are built as dynamical lattices) and nonlinearity acting at sites of the lattices or between the sites. The considered systems include the…
In the present work, a nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) model is studied by means of a recent technique that identifies solutions of partial differential equations, by considering them as fixed points in {\it space-time}. This…
We provide a feasible and compact scheme to control and stabilize the spatiotemporal dynamics of BAS lasers. The proposal is based on the ability of non-Hermitian potentials with given local symmetries to manage the flow of light. A local…
Vortex-induced vibration is a nonlinear phenomenon that can damage buildings or produce energy. Here, the range of synchronization between fluid and structure is an important parameter. Using a coupled van der Pol and linear oscillator…
To study the propagation of nonlinear waves across Y- and T-type junctions, we consider the 2D sine--Gordon equation as a model and study the dynamics of kinks and breathers in such geometries. The comparison of the energies reveals that…
Stochastic power fluctuation in a fiber optic system due to the interplay among dispersion, nonlinearity and partial coherence of the source is investigated. An analytical expression for the power fluctuation of a signal pulse due to its…
The bifurcation of plane waves to localised structures is investigated in the Dysthe equation, which incorporates the effects of mean flow and wave steepening. Through the use of phase modulation techniques, it is demonstrated that such…
