We address the existence and stability of two-dimensional solitons in optical or matter-wave media, which are supported by purely nonlinear lattices in the form of a periodic array of cylinders with self-focusing nonlinearity, embedded into…

We study the spectral stability of a 2D discrete Schr\"{o}dinger equation on a square lattice, in the simultaneous presence of a fractional Laplacian and $\cal{PT}$ symmetry. For that purpose, we compute the plane-wave spectrum in closed…

In this work we revisit the existence, stability and dynamics of unstable traveling solitary waves in the context of lattice dynamical systems. We consider a nonlinear lattice of an $\alpha$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam type with the additional feature…

We study dilute suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles in a nematic host, on two-dimensional (2D) polygons. These systems are described by a nematic order parameter and a spontaneous magnetization, in the absence of any external fields. We…

The subject of PT-symmetry and its areas of application have been blossoming over the past decade. Here, we consider a nonlinear Schr\"odinger model with a complex potential that can be tuned controllably away from being PT-symmetric, as it…

The possibility that extremely long-lived, time-dependent, and localized field configurations (``oscillons'') arise during the collapse of asymmetrical bubbles in 2+1 dimensional phi^4 models is investigated. It is found that oscillons can…

Periodic orbits for the classical $\phi^4$ theory on the one dimensional lattice are systematically constructed by extending the normal modes of the harmonic theory, for periodic, fixed and free boundary conditions. Through the process, we…

We introduce a model of one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) optical media with the $\chi ^{(2)}$ nonlinearity whose local strength is subject to cusp-shaped spatial modulation, $\chi ^{(2)}\sim r^{-\alpha }$, with $\alpha >0$, which can be…

Solitary waves in a general nonlinear lattice are discussed, employing as a model the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a spatially periodic nonlinear coefficient. An asymptotic theory is developed for long solitary waves, that span a…
