We obtain multi-soliton solutions of the time-dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations or, equivalently, Gorkov equations that describe the dynamics of a fermionic condensate in the dissipationless regime. There are two kinds of solitons -…
We show existence of relative periodic orbits (a.k.a. relative nonlinear normal modes) near relative equilibria of a symmetric Hamiltonian system under an appropriate assumption on the Hessian of the Hamiltonian. This gives a relative…

In this work we present some classes of models whose the corresponding two coupled first-order nonlinear equations can be put into a linear form, and consequently be solved completely. In these cases the so-called trial orbit method is…
We describe linear and nonlinear modes in a ring-shaped waveguide with localized gain and dissipation modeled by two Dirac $\delta$ functions located symmetrically. The strengths of the gain and dissipation are equal, i.e., the system obeys…
We report analytical solutions for spatial solitons supported by layers of a quadratically nonlinear material embedded into a linear planar waveguide. A full set of symmetric, asymmetric, and antisymmetric modes pinned to a symmetric pair…

After decades of study, there are only two known mechanisms to induce global synchronization in a population of oscillators: deterministic coupling and common forcing. The inclusion of independent random forcing in these models typically…
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between invariant cones and nonlinear normal modes in piecewise linear mechanical systems. As a key result, we extend the invariant cone concept, originally established for homogeneous…
A model for synchronization of globally coupled phase oscillators including ``inertial'' effects is analyzed. In such a model, both oscillator frequencies and phases evolve in time. Stationary solutions include incoherent (unsynchronized)…
This paper gives sufficient conditions for having complete synchronization of oscillators in connected undirected networks. The considered oscillators are not necessarily identical and the synchronization terms can be nonlinear. An…
Self-sustained oscillators are ubiquitous and essential for metrology, communications, time reference, and geolocation. In its most basic form an oscillator consists of a resonator driven on-resonance, through feedback, to create a periodic…
We propose a lattice model, in both one- and multidimensional versions, which may give rise to matching conditions necessary for the generation of solitons through the second-harmonic generation. The model describes an array of linearly…
We propose a new mechanism for pattern formation based on the global alternation of two dynamics neither of which exhibits patterns. When driven by either one of the separate dynamics, the system goes to a spatially homogeneous state…
This book chapter describes the dynamics of a modulated oscillator for resonant and nonresonant modulation. Two types of resonant modulation are considered: additive, with frequency close to the oscillator eigenfrequency, and parametric,…
The classical nonlinear oscillator, proposed by Mathews and Lakshmanan in 1974 and including a position-dependent mass in the kinetic energy term, is generalized in two different ways by adding an extra term to the potential. The solutions…
We investigate the time-periodic solutions to the nonlinear wave and beam equations and uncover their intricate, fractal-like structure. In particular, we identify a new class of large-energy solutions with complex mode compositions and…
