We show that bimodal systems with a spatially nonuniform defocusing cubic nonlinearity, whose strength grows toward the periphery, can support stable two-component solitons. For a sufficiently strong XPM interaction, vector solitons with…

Recently we have introduced a lightweight, perturbative approach to quantum solitons. Thus far, our approach has been largely limited to configurations consisting of a single soliton plus a finite number of mesons, whose classical limit is…

We present a new exact solution for the twist of an asymmetric thin elastic rods. The shape of such rods is described by the static Kirchhoff equations. In the case of constant curvatire and torsion the twist of the asymmetric rod…

Single solitons are a special limit of more general waveforms commonly referred to as cnoidal waves or Turing rolls. We theoretically and computationally investigate the stability and accessibility of cnoidal waves in microresonators. We…

The soliton resolution conjecture states that solutions to solitonic equations with generic initial data should, after some non--linear behaviour, eventually resolve into a finite number of solitons plus a radiative term. This conjecture is…
