Nonautonomous solitary-wave solutions of the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients

A class of analytical solitary-wave solutions to the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients and potentials are constructed using the similarity transformation technique. Constraints for the dispersion coefficient, the cubic and quintic nonlinearities, the external potential, and the gain (loss) coefficient are presented at the same time. Various shapes of analytical solitary-wave solutions which have important applications of physical interest are studied in detail, such as the solutions in Feshbach resonance management with harmonic potentials, Faraday-type waves in the optical lattice potentials, and localized solutions supported by the Gaussian-shaped nonlinearity. The stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.

Two-dimensional discrete gap breathers in a two-dimensional discrete diatomic Klein-Gordon lattice

We study the existence and stability of two-dimensional discrete breathers in a two-dimensionai discrete diatomic Klein-Gordon lattice consisting of alternating light and heavy atoms, with nearest-neighbor harmonic coupling. Localized solutions to the corresponding nonlinear differential equations with frequencies inside the gap of the linear wave spectrum, i.e. two-dimensional gap breathers, are investigated numerically. The numerical results of the corresponding algebraic equations demonstrate the possibility of the existence of two-dimensional gap breathers with three types of symmetries, i.e., symmetric, twin-antisymmetric and single-antisymmetric. Their stability depends on the nonlinear on-site potential （soft or hard）, the interaction potential （attractive or repulsive） and the center of the two-dimensional gap breathers （on a light or a heavy atom）.     

Breathers and Rogue Waves Derived from an Extended Multi-dimensional N-Coupled Higher-Order Nonlinear Schrdinger Equation in Optical Communication Systems

In this paper, an extended multi-dimensional N-coupled higher-order nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (NCHNLSE), which can describe the propagation of the ultrashort pulses in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)systems, is investigated. By the bilinear method, we construct the breather solutions for the extended (1+1),(2+1) and(3+1)-dimensional N-CHNLSE. The rogue waves are derived as a limiting form of breathers with the aid of symbolic computation. The effect of group velocity dispersion (GVD), third-order dispersion (TOD) and nonlinearity on breathers and rogue waves solutions are discussed in the optical communication systems.     

Ported from Self-Similar Analytic Solutions of Ginzburg--Landau Equation with Varying Coefficients

Employing the technique of symmetry reduction of analytic method, we solve the Ginzburg-Landau equation with varying nonlinear, dispersion, gain coefficients, and gain dispersion which originates from the limiting effect of transition bandwidth in the realistic doped fibres. The parabolic asymptotic self-similar analytical solutions in gain medium of the normal GVD is found for the first time to our best knowledge. The evolution of pulse amplitude, strict linear phase chirp and effective temporal width are given with self-similarity results in longitudinal nonlinearity distribution and longitudinal gain fibre. These analytical solutions are in good agreement with the numerical simulations. Furthermore, we theoretically prove that pulse evolution has the characteristics of parabolic asymptotic self-similarity in doped ions dipole gain fibres.

Analytical solutions for the slow neutron capture process of heavy element nucleosynthesis

In this paper, the network equation for the slow neutron capture process (s-process) of heavy element nucleosynthesis is investigated. Dividing the s-process network reaction chains into two standard forms and using the technique of matrix decomposition, a group of analytical solutions for the network equation are obtained. With the analytical solutions, a calculation for heavy element abundance of the solar system is carried out and the results are in good agreement with the astrophysical measurements.     

Periodic and Chaotic Breathers in the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation

The breathers in the cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation are investigated numerically by using the symplectic method. We show that the solitonlike wave, the periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic breathers can be observed with the increase of cubic nonlinear perturbation. Finally, we discuss the breathers in the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schroedinger equation with the increase of quintic nonlinear perturbation.     

Propagation of nonlocal optical solitons in lossy media with exponential-decay response

Propagation of optical solitons in lossy nonlocal media with exponential-decay response was investigated theoretically. The analytical solutions of nonlocal solitons and breathers are obtained by variational approach which is applied to a (1 + 1)D nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The critical power of soliton and period of breathers are also obtained in the absence of the loss. When the loss is relatively small, the average beam width of breathers has a trend to expand during propagation. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulation.

Modulation of breathers in cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates

We present new solutions to the nonautonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation that may be realized through convenient manipulation of Bose-Einstein condensates. The procedure is based on the modulation of breathers through an analytical study of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which is known to offer a good theoretical model to describe quasi-one-dimensional cigar-shaped condensates. Using a specific ansatz, we transform the nonautonomous nonlinear equation into an autonomous one, which engenders composed states corresponding to solutions localized in space, with an oscillating behavior in time. Numerical simulations confirm stability of the modulated breathers against random perturbation on the input profile of the solutions.     

Energy transfer in weakly coupled nonlinear oscillator chains: Transition from a wandering breather to nonlinear self-trapping

We present analytical and numerical studies of phase-coherent dynamics of intrinsically localized excitations (breathers) in a system of two weakly coupled nonlinear oscillator chains. We show that there are two qualitatively different dynamical regimes of the coupled breathers, either immovable or slowly moving: the periodic wandering of the low-amplitude breather between the chains, and the one-chain-localization of the high-amplitude breather. These two modes of coupled breathers can be mapped exactly onto two solutions of a pendulum equation, detached by a separatrix mode. We also show that these two regimes of the coupled breathers are similar, and are described by a similar pair of equations, to the two regimes in the nonlinear tunneling dynamics of two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. On the basis of this analogy, we predict a new tunneling mode of two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates in which their relative phase oscillates around π/2 modulo π.     

Modulational instability,quantum breathers and two-breathers in a frustrated ferromagnetic spin lattice under an external magnetic field

The modulational instability, quantum breathers and two-breathers in a frustrated easy-axis ferromagnetic zig-zag chain under an external magnetic field are investigated within the Hartree approximation. By means of a linear stability analysis, we analytically study the discrete modulational instability and analyze the effect of the frustration strength on the discrete modulational instability region. Using the results from the discrete modulational instability analysis, the presence conditions of those stationary bright type localized solutions are presented. On the other hand, we obtain the analytical expressions for the stationary bright localized solutions and analyze the effect of the frustration on their emergence conditions. By taking advantage of these bright type single-magnon bound wave functions obtained, quantum breather states in the present frustrated ferromagnetic zig-zag lattice are constructed. What is more, the analytical forms for quantum two-breather states are also obtained. In particular, the energy level formulas of quantum breathers and two-breathers are derived.     

Discrete breathers

Nonlinear classical Hamiltonian lattices exhibit generic solutions in the form of discrete breathers. These solutions are time-periodic and (typically exponentially) localized in space. The lattices exhibit discrete translational symmetry. Discrete breathers are not confined to certain lattice dimensions. Necessary ingredients for their occurrence are the existence of upper bounds on the phonon spectrum (of small fluctuations around the groundstate) of the system as well as the nonlinearity in the differential equations. We will present existence proofs, formulate necessary existence conditions, and discuss structural stability of discrete breathers. The following results will be also discussed: the creation of breathers through tangent bifurcation of band edge plane waves; dynamical stability; details of the spatial decay; numerical methods of obtaining breathers; interaction of breathers with phonons and electrons; movability; influence of the lattice dimension on discrete breather properties; quantum lattices — quantum breathers.Finally we will formulate a new conceptual approach capable of predicting whether discrete breathers exist for a given system or not, without actually solving for the breather. We discuss potential applications in lattice dynamics of solids (especially molecular crystals), selective bond excitations in large molecules, dynamical properties of coupled arrays of Josephson junctions, and localization of electromagnetic waves in photonic crystals with nonlinear response.     

Dissipative discrete breathers: periodic,quasiperiodic, chaotic,and mobile

The properties of discrete breathers in dissipative one-dimensional lattices of nonlinear oscillators subject to periodic driving forces are reviewed. We focus on oscillobreathers in the Frenkel-Kontorova chain and rotobreathers in a ladder of Josephson junctions. Both types of exponentially localized solutions are easily obtained numerically using adiabatic continuation from the anticontinuous limit. Linear stability (Floquet) analysis allows the characterization of different types of bifurcations experienced by periodic discrete breathers. Some of these bifurcations produce nonperiodic localized solutions, namely, quasiperiodic and chaotic discrete breathers, which are generally impossible as exact solutions in Hamiltonian systems. Within a certain range of parameters, propagating breathers occur as attractors of the dissipative dynamics. General features of these excitations are discussed and the Peierls-Nabarro barrier is addressed. Numerical scattering experiments with mobile breathers reveal the existence of two-breather bound states and allow a first glimpse at the intricate phenomenology of these special multibreather configurations.     

The degeneration of the breathers for the BKP equation

In this paper, by the complexification of the wave number of the soliton given by the Hirota bilinear method, we get the breather solutions. Lumps of the BKP equations are constructed by full degeneration of the breathers, i.e., the limit of infinitely large period of the breathers. The localization characters of the 1-order lump by contour line method are studied analytically. The partial degeneration of the breathers yields hybrid solutions including soliton, lump and breathers.     

Low-frequency breathers in polyethylene crystal

It is shown both analytically and numerically that three-dimensional low-frequency (acoustic) breathers identified as localized coupled bend and twist nonlinear waves can exist in polyethylene (PE) crystal. Their motion along the chain is accompanied by the simultaneous excitation of both (“zig” and “zag”) sub-chains forming PE macromolecule.In the region of a breather one can observe intensive out-of-plane motion of carbon atoms and relatively small displacements in the plane of the zigzag. In spite of this smallness, the “secondary” nonlinear effects turn out to be crucial for the existence of breathers.Both the existence and stability of low-frequency breathers in free motion are confirmed by computer simulation, using the Molecular Dynamics (MD) procedure. The stability of breathers with respect to thermal excitations as well as to mutual collisions and collisions with optical breathers is also discussed. We study also the breathers’ formation in different conditions. It turns out that the frequencies and extensions of the breathers can be varied in very narrow regions predicted by our analytical solution.
