Pattern Formation and Solitons
We theoretically demonstrate soliton steering in $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric coupled nonlinear dimers. We show that if the length of the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system is set to $2\pi$ contrary to the conventional one which operates…
We consider a system of generalized coupled Discrete Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (DNLS) equations, derived as a tight-binding model from the Gross-Pitaevskii-type equations describing a zigzag chain of weakly coupled condensates of…
In the present work, we explore the possibility of developing rogue waves as exact solutions of some nonlinear dispersive equations, such as the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, but also, in a similar vein, the Hirota, Davey-Stewartson,…
The transmission properties through a saturable cubic-quintic nonlinear defect attached to lateral linear chains is investigated. Particular attention is directed to the possible non-reciprocal diode-like transmission when the…
We study the existence, formation and dynamics of gray solitons for an extended quintic nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation. The considered model finds applications to water waves, when the characteristic parameter $kh$ - where $k$ is…
The ubiquitous occurrence of cluster patterns in nature still lacks a comprehensive understanding. It is known that the dynamics of many such natural systems is captured by ensembles of Stuart-Landau oscillators. Here, we investigate…
We report an optical fiber experiment in which we study nonlinear stage of modulational instability of a plane wave in the presence of a localized perturbation. Using a recirculating fiber loop as experimental platform, we show that the…
In the present work we explore a pre-stretched oscillator chain where the nodes interact via a pairwise Lennard-Jones potential. In addition to a homogeneous solution, we identify solutions with one or more (so-called) `breaks', i.e.,…
We study static nonlinear waves in networks described by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation with point-like nonlinearities on metric graphs. Explicit solutions fulfilling vertex boundary conditions are obtained. Spontaneous symmetry breaking…
Amplitude death, which occurs in a system when one or more macroscopic wavefunctions collapse to zero, has been observed in mutually coupled solid-state lasers, analog circuits, and thermoacoustic oscillators, to name a few applications.…
We discuss the finite-time collapse, also referred as blow-up, of the solutions of a discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (DNLS) equation incorporating linear and nonlinear gain and loss. This DNLS system appears in many inherently discrete…
We consider a two-component Hamiltonian system of partial differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities introduced by Popowicz, which has the form of a coupling between the Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations. Despite…
We study the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) in the context of critical transitions modelled by fast-slow stochastic dynamical systems. We establish a new link between the dynamical theory of critical transitions with the statistical aspects…
This article describes the conversion of the two-dimensional Primordial Particle System into a threedimensional model that exhibits comparable features. We present the transformed model here in the form of a pseudocode implementation and…
In this paper we construct a weakly-nonlinear d'Alembert-type solution of the Cauchy problem for a Boussinesq-Klein-Gordon equation. Similarly to our earlier work based on the use of spatial Fourier series, we consider the problem in the…
We consider the long-time evolution of pulses in the Korteweg-de Vries equation theory for initial distributions which produce no soliton, but instead lead to the formation of a dispersive shock wave and of a rarefaction wave. An approach…
We study the influence of mean field cubic nonlinearity on Aharonov-Bohm caging in a diamond lattice with synthetic magnetic flux. For sufficiently weak nonlinearities the Aharonov-Bohm caging persists as periodic nonlinear breathing…
We study the dynamics of knotted vortices in a bulk excitable medium using the FitzHugh-Nagumo model. From a systematic survey of all knots of at most eight crossings we establish that the generic behaviour is of unsteady, irregular…
Acoustic non-reciprocity has been shown to enable a plethora of effects analogous to phenomena seen in quantum physics and electromagnetics, such as immunity from back-scattering and unidirectional band gaps, which could lead to the design…
We suggest a method for calculation of parameters of dispersive shock waves in framework of Whitham modulation theory applied to non-integrable wave equations with a wide class of initial conditions corresponding to propagation of a pulse…
