We study experimentally the nonlinear propagation of short pulses of forward volume spin waves in nanometer-thick YIG films. We show that nonlinearity of the spin system can efficiently counteract dispersion broadening of the pulses,…
In this paper, we show that all non-trivial solutions of a broad class of nonlinear dispersive equations, whose linear evolution is governed by a dispersion relation under minimal regularity assumptions, cannot remain compactly supported…

Small-amplitude weakly coupled oscillators of the Klein-Gordon lattices are approximated by equations of the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger type. We show how to justify this approximation by two methods, which have been very popular in the…

We implement Bragg spectroscopy in a paraxial fluid of light. Analogues of short Bragg pulses are imprinted on a photon fluid by wavefront shaping using a spatial light modulator. We measure the dispersion relation and evidence a parabolic…
We present a brief overview of integrability of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations with a focus on the Painleve property: an ODE of second order has the Painleve property if the only movable singularities connected to…
A kinetic equation describing the nonlinear evolution of intense electromagnetic pulses in electron-positron (e-p) plasmas is presented. The modulational instability is analyzed for a relativistically intense partially coherent pulse, and…
It is argued that the integrable modified nonlinear Schroedinger equation with the nonlinearity dispersion term is the true starting point to analytically describe subpicosecond pulse dynamics in monomode fibers. Contrary to the known…
We study propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in a curved spacetime. We demonstrate how a modification of the standard geometric optics allows one to include the helicity dependent corrections into the equations of motion of…
