In cellular automata models a glider gun is an oscillating pattern of non-quiescent states that periodically emits traveling localizations (gliders). The glider streams can be combined to construct functionally complete systems of logical…
Using the examples of an excitable chemical system (Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium) and plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum we show that universal computation in a geometrically unconstrained medium is only possible when resources…
We consider the one-dimensional propagation of electromagnetic waves in a weakly nonlinear and low-contrast spatially inhomogeneous medium with no energy dissipation. We focus on the case of a periodic medium, in which dispersion enters…
Recent experiments have proved that the response to short laser pulses of common optical media, such as air or Oxygen, can be described by focusing Kerr and higher order nonlinearities of alternating signs. Such media support the…
We study the drift of spiral waves in a simple model of heterogeneous excitable medium, having gradients in local excitability or cellular coupling. For the first time, we report the anomalous drift of spiral waves towards regions having…
We study pattern-forming instabilities in reaction-advection-diffusion systems. We develop an approach based on Lyapunov-Bloch exponents to figure out the impact of a spatially periodic mixing flow on the stability of a spatially…
N-dark-dark solitons in the generally coupled integrable NLS equations are derived by the KP-hierarchy reduction method. These solitons exist when nonlinearities are all defocusing, or both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities are mixed.…
We consider localised states in a discrete bistable Allen-Cahn equation. This model equation combines bistability and local cell-to-cell coupling in the simplest possible way. The existence of stable localised states is made possible by…
Physico-mechanical properties of polymers in solid state, in particular conditions of their structural transformations, are substantially defined by existence and mobility of elementary nonlinear excitations. The localized oscillatory…
We consider dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates with long-range attractive interaction proportional to $1/r^b$ and arbitrary angular dependence. It is shown exactly that collapse of Bose-Einstein condensate without contact interactions is…
In this paper we show a systematical method to obtain exact solutions of the nonautonomous nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation. An integrable condition is first obtained by the Painlev\`e analysis, which is shown to be consistent with…
The Tibetan singing bowl is a type of standing bell. Originating from Himalayan fire cults as early as the 5th century BC, they have since been used in religious ceremonies, for shamanic journeying, exorcism, meditation and shakra…
Lightning balls are very rare natural phenomena that appear as free floating glowing globs, usually during electric activity in the atmosphere of the Earth. Each year, hundreds of eyewitness accounts of such strange events are reported to…
The stability of dark solitons generated by a supersonic flow of a Bose-Einstein condensate past a concave corner (or a wedge) is studied. It is shown that solitons in the dispersive shock wave generated at the initial moment of time…
Quasiparticle approach to dynamics of dark solitons is applied to the case of ring solitons. It is shown that the energy conservation law provides the effective equations of motion of ring dark solitons for general form of the nonlinear…
We find three types of steady solutions and remarkable flow pattern transitions between them in a two-dimensional wavy-walled channel for low to moderate Reynolds (Re) and Weissenberg (Wi) numbers using direct numerical simulations with…
Effects of time-delayed-feedback on pattern formation are studied in symmetrical bistable media. The results show that the time delay alters the behavior of the front bifurcation remarkably. The critical point of the Nonequilibrium…
Solitons confined in a channel are studied in the two-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equation. When a channel branches into two channels, a soliton is split into two solitons, if the initial kinetic energy exceeds a critical value. The…
We consider unsteady undular bores for a pair of coupled equations of Boussinesq-type which contain the familiar fully nonlinear dissipationless shallow-water dynamics and the leading-order fully nonlinear dispersive terms. This system…
In the present work, we attempt a brief summary of various areas where nonlinear waves have been emerging in the phenomenology of lattice dynamical systems. These areas include nonlinear optics, atomic physics, mechanical systems,…
