We demonstrate the existence of extremely weakly decaying linear and nonlinear modes (i.e. modes immune to dissipation) in the one-dimensional periodic array of identical spatially localized dissipations, where the dissipation width is much…

A nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with repulsive (defocusing) nonlinearity is considered. As an example, a system with a spatially varying coefficient of the nonlinear term is studied. The nonlinearity is chosen to be repelling except on a…

We study a deformation of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation recently derived in the context of deformation of hierarchies of integrable systems. This systematic method also led to known integrable equations such as the Camassa-Holm…

We introduce an inhomogeneously-nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger lattice, featuring a defocusing segment, a focusing segment and a transitional interface between the two. We illustrate that such inhomogeneous settings present vastly different…

We consider the initial boundary value problem for the focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in the quarter plane $x>0,t>0$ in the case of decaying initial data (for $t=0$, as $x\to +\infty$) and the Robin boundary condition at $x=0$.…

We study analytically and numerically the stability of the standing waves for a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a point defect and a power type nonlinearity. A main difficulty is to compute the number of negative eigenvalues of the…

Consider the thin-film equation $h_t + \left(h h_{yyy}\right)_y = 0$ with a zero contact angle at the free boundary, that is, at the triple junction where liquid, gas, and solid meet. Previous results on stability and well-posedness of this…
