We study a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger model with hopping to the first and a selected N-th neighbor, motivated by a helicoidal arrangement of lattice sites. We provide a detailed analysis of the modulational instability…
We consider the orientational instabilities, both homogeneous and spatially periodic, developing in a nematic liquid crystal under rectilinear oscillatory Couette flow for director alignment perpendicular to the flow plane. Using numerical…
The transition between non resonant (Weibel-type) and resonant (whistler) instabilities is investigated numerically in plasma configurations with an ambient magnetic field of increasing amplitudes. The Vlasov-Maxwell system is solved in a…
We study, theoretically and numerically, the onset and development of modulational instability in an incoherently pumped spatially homogeneous polariton condensate. Within the framework of mean-field theory, we identify regimes of…
The interaction between two co-propagating electrostatic wavepackets characterized by arbitrary carrier wavenumber is considered. A one-dimensional (1D) non-magnetized plasma model is adopted, consisting of a cold inertial ion fluid…
This work considers the propagation of high-frequency waves in highly-scattering media where physical absorption of a nonlinear nature occurs. Using the classical tools of the Wigner transform and multiscale analysis, we derive semilinear…
Nonlinear and nonlocal effects are discussed in the interaction of laser fields with thermal Rydberg atoms in electromagnetically induced transparency configuration. We show that under the crucial approximation that the time variation in…

In this paper, modulation instability and nonlinear supratransmission are investigated in a one-dimensional chain of atoms using cubic-quartic nonlinearity coefficients. As a result, we establish the discrete nonlinear evolution equation by…
The instability and nonlinear evolution of directional ocean waves is investigated numerically by means of simulations of the governing kinetic equation for narrow-band surface waves. Our simulation results reveal the onset of the…
Energetic astrophysical phenomena, such as $\gamma$-ray bursts, supernova explosions, and magnetar flares occur in collisionless plasmas and involve various plasma kinetic and magnetohydrodynamic instabilities. In this paper, we explore the…
In uniaxial soft matter with a reorientational nonlinearity, such as nematic liquid crystals, a light beam in the extraordinary polarization walks off its wavevector due to birefringence, while it undergoes self-focusing via an increase in…
The chiral Luttinger liquid develops quantum chaos as soon as a -- however slight -- nonlinear dispersion is introduced for the microscopic electronic degrees of freedom. For this nonlinear version of the model, we identify an infinite…
Nonlinear two-dimensional internal gravity waves (IGWs) in the atmospheres of the Earth and the Sun are studied. The resulting two-dimensional nonlinear equation has the form of a generalized nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with nonlocal…
"The purpose of numerical models is not numbers but insight." (Hamming) In the spirit of this adage, and of Don Cox's approach to scientific speaking, we discuss the questions that the latest generation of numerical models of the…
Magnetic field amplification by relativistic streaming plasma instabilities is central to a wide variety of high-energy astrophysical environments as well as to laboratory scenarios associated with intense lasers and electron beams. We…
Dissipationless shock waves in modulational unstable one-dimensional medium are investigated on the simplest example of integrable focusing nonlinear Schr\''odinger (NS) equation. Our approach is based on the construction of special exact…
We study theoretically and experimentally the modulational instability of broad optical beams in photorefractive nonlinear media. We demonstrate the impact of the anisotropy of the nonlinearity on the growth rate of periodic perturbations.…
We consider a system of two discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations, coupled by nonlinear and linear terms. For various physically relevant cases, we derive a modulational instability criterion for plane-wave solutions. We also find…
Beyond the constraints of conservative systems, altering wave propagation frequency emerges as a crucial factor across diverse physical domains. This Letter demonstrates bi-directional asymmetric frequency conversion -- either upward or…
