Formation mechanism of asymmetric breather and rogue waves in pair-transition-coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations

Based on the developed Darboux transformation, we investigate the exact asymmetric solutions of breather and rogue waves in pair-transition-coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations. As an example, some types of exact breather solutions are given analytically by adjusting the parameters. Moreover, the interesting fundamental problem is to clarify the formation mechanism of asymmetry breather solutions and how the particle number and energy exchange between the background and soliton ultimately form the breather solutions. Our results also show that the formation mechanism from breather to rogue wave arises from the transformation from the periodic total exchange into the temporal local property.     

Localized waves in nonlinear oscillator chains

This paper reviews results about the existence of spatially localized waves in nonlinear chains of coupled oscillators, and provides new results for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice. Localized solutions include solitary waves of permanent form and traveling breathers which appear time periodic in a system of reference moving at constant velocity. For FPU lattices we analyze the case when the breather period and the inverse velocity are commensurate. We employ a center manifold reduction method introduced by Iooss and Kirchgassner in the case of traveling waves, which reduces the problem locally to a finite dimensional reversible differential equation. The principal part of the reduced system is integrable and admits solutions homoclinic to quasi-periodic orbits if a hardening condition on the interaction potential is satisfied. These orbits correspond to approximate travelling breather solutions superposed on a quasi-periodic oscillatory tail. The problem of their persistence for the full system is still open in the general case. We solve this problem for an even potential if the breather period equals twice the inverse velocity, and prove in that case the existence of exact traveling breather solutions superposed on an exponentially small periodic tail.     

Kink degeneracy and rogue potential solution for the (3+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

In this paper, we obtained the exact breather-type kink soliton and breather-type periodic soliton solutions for the (3 + 1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) equation using the extended homoclinic test technique. Some new nonlinear phenomena, such as kink and periodic degeneracies, are investigated. Using the homoclinic breather limit method, some new rational breather solutions are found as well. Meanwhile, we also obtained the rational potential solution which is found to be just a rogue wave. These results enrich the variety of the dynamics of higher-dimensional nonlinear wave field.     

Breather Interaction Properties Induced by Self-Steepening and Space-Time Correction

We study the properties of breather interactions in nonlinear Kerr media with self-steepening and space-time correction and with either self-focusing or self-defocusing nonlinearity, and present a new family of exact breather solutions via the Darboux transformation with a special-designed quadratic spectral parameter. In contrast to the previous results of the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation(NLSE) hierarchy, we show that the relative phase of colliding breathers has a significant effect on the collision manifestation. In particular, only the out-of-phase interactions can generate small amplitude waves at the collision center, which are analogous to the NLSE superregular breathers. Our results will deepen our understanding of the properties of breather interactions and they will offer the possibility of experimental observations of super-regular breather dynamics in systems with self-steepening and space-time correction.     

Painlevé Integrability and Complexiton-Like Solutions of a Coupled Higgs Model

We perform the Painlevé test for a coupled Higgs system to determine its Painlevé integrability. Moreover, a class of exact complexiton-like solutions, including breather solutions and dark and bright solitary solutions, is explicitly constructed for the coupled Higgs model by using a generalized Hirota’s bilinear form.     

A piecewise linear finite element discretization of the diffusion equation for arbitrary polyhedral grids

We develop a piecewise linear (PWL) Galerkin finite element spatial discretization for the multi-dimensional radiation diffusion equation. It uses recently introduced piecewise linear weight and basis functions in the finite element approximation and it can be applied on arbitrary polygonal (2D) or polyhedral (3D) grids. We first demonstrate some analytical properties of the PWL method and perform a simple mode analysis to compare the PWL method with Palmer’s vertex-centered finite-volume method and with a bilinear continuous finite element method. We then show that this new PWL method gives solutions comparable to those from Palmer’s. However, since the PWL method produces a symmetric positive-definite coefficient matrix, it should be substantially more computationally efficient than Palmer’s method, which produces an asymmetric matrix. We conclude that the Galerkin PWL method is an attractive option for solving diffusion equations on unstructured grids.     

Darboux transformation and exact multisolitons for a matrix coupled dispersionless system

We present a matrix coupled dispersionless(CD) system. A Lax pair for the matrix CD system is proposed and Darboux transformation is constructed on the solutions of the matrix CD system and the associated Lax pair. We express an N soliton formula for the solutions of the matrix CD system in terms of quasideterminants. By using properties of the quasideterminants, we obtain some exact solutions, including bright and dark-type solitons, rogue wave and breather solutions of the matrix CD system. Furthermore, it has been shown that the solutions of the matrix CD system are expressed in terms of solutions to the usual CD system, sine-Gordon equation and Maxwell-Bloch system.     

Travelling Breathers with Exponentially Small Tails in a Chain of Nonlinear Oscillators

We study the existence of travelling breathers in Klein-Gordon chains, which consist of one-dimensional networks of nonlinear oscillators in an anharmonic on-site potential, linearly coupled to their nearest neighbors. Travelling breathers are spatially localized solutions which appear time periodic in a referential in translation at constant velocity. Approximate solutions of this type have been constructed in the form of modulated plane waves, whose envelopes satisfy the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (M. Remoissenet, Phys. Rev. B 33, n.4, 2386 (1986), J. Giannoulis and A. Mielke, Nonlinearity 17, p. 551–565 (2004)). In the case of travelling waves (where the phase velocity of the plane wave equals the group velocity of the wave packet), the existence of nearby exact solutions has been proved by Iooss and Kirchgässner, who have obtained exact solitary wave solutions superposed on an exponentially small oscillatory tail (G. Iooss, K. Kirchgässner, Commun. Math. Phys. 211, 439–464 (2000)). However, a rigorous existence result has been lacking in the more general case when phase and group velocities are different. This situation is examined in the present paper, in a case when the breather period and the inverse of its velocity are commensurate. We show that the center manifold reduction method introduced by Iooss and Kirchgässner is still applicable when the problem is formulated in an appropriate way. This allows us to reduce the problem locally to a finite dimensional reversible system of ordinary differential equations, whose principal part admits homoclinic solutions to quasi-periodic orbits under general conditions on the potential. For an even potential, using the additional symmetry of the system, we obtain homoclinic orbits to small periodic ones for the full reduced system. For the oscillator chain, these orbits correspond to exact small amplitude travelling breather solutions superposed on an exponentially small oscillatory tail. Their principal part (excluding the tail) coincides at leading order with the nonlinear Schrödinger approximation.     

Breather and double-pole solutions for the Benjamin-Ono equation in a stratified fluid

The Benjamin–Ono equation is hereby investigated, which arises in the context of long internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid. With the Hirota method and symbolic computation, breather solutions are derived. Propagation of the breather and elastic collisions between the breather and soliton are graphically analyzed. The collision period and the bunch number in a wave packet are relevant to the ratio of the real part to the imaginary of the wavenumber. Through the coalescence of wavenumbers in the two-soliton solutions, we obtain the double-pole solutions.

Twenty Parameters Families of Solutions to the NLS Equation and the Eleventh Peregrine Breather

The Peregrine breather of order eleven(P_(11) breather) solution to the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrdinger equation(NLS) is explicitly constructed here. Deformations of the Peregrine breather of order 11 with 20 real parameters solutions to the NLS equation are also given: when all parameters are equal to 0 we recover the famous P_(11) breather. We obtain new families of quasi-rational solutions to the NLS equation in terms of explicit quotients of polynomials of degree 132 in x and t by a product of an exponential depending on t. We study these solutions by giving patterns of their modulus in the(x; t) plane, in function of the different parameters.     

Breather and double-pole solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation from optical fibers

The derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, which governs the propagation of the femtosecond optical pulse in a monomodal optical fiber, is analytically studied in this Letter. Breather and double-pole solutions are derived from the two-soliton solution with the choice of parameters. It is found that the parameters in the DNLS equation cannot only control the phase and propagation direction of the breather and double pole, but also influence the interaction period of the breather. Elastic collisions between a breather and a dark/anti-dark soliton are studied by the qualitative analysis and graphical illustration. The stability of the breather and double-pole solutions is also analyzed.     

Asymptotic analysis of combined breather-kink modes in a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain

We find approximations to travelling breather solutions of the one-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice. Both bright breather and dark breather solutions are found. We find that the existence of localised (bright) solutions depends upon the coefficients of cubic and quartic terms of the potential energy, generalising an earlier inequality derived by James [G. James, Existence of breathers on FPU lattices, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 332 (2001) 581-586]. We use the method of multiple scales to reduce the equations of motion for the lattice to a nonlinear Schrödinger equation at leading order and hence construct an asymptotic form for the breather. We show that in the absence of a cubic potential energy term, the lattice supports combined breathing-kink waveforms. The amplitude of breathing-kinks can be arbitrarily small, as opposed to the case for traditional monotone kinks, which have a nonzero minimum amplitude in such systems. We also present numerical simulations of the lattice, verifying the shape and velocity of the travelling waveforms, and confirming the long-lived nature of all such modes.     

Novel localized wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli equation

Based on a special transformation that we introduce, the N-soliton solution of the (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli equation is constructed. By applying the long wave limit and restricting certain conjugation conditions to the related solitons, some novel localized wave solutions are obtained, which contain higher-order breathers and lumps as well as their interactions. In particular, by choosing appropriate parameters involved in the N-solitons, two interaction solutions mixed by a bell-shaped soliton and one breather or by a bell-shaped soliton and one lump are constructed from the 3-soliton solution. Five solutions including two breathers, two lumps, and interaction solutions between one breather and two bell-shaped solitons, one breather and one lump, or one lump and two bell-shaped solitons are constructed from the 4-soliton solution. Five interaction solutions mixed by one breather/lump and three bell-shaped solitons, two breathers/lumps and a bell-shaped soliton, as well as mixing with one lump, one breather and a bell-shaped soliton are constructed from the 5-soliton solution. To study the behaviors that the obtained interaction solutions may have, we present some illustrative numerical simulations, which demonstrate that the choice of the parameters has a great impacts on the types of the solutions and their propagation properties. The method proposed can be effectively used to construct localized interaction solutions of many nonlinear evolution equations. The results obtained may help related experts to understand and study the interaction phenomena of nonlinear localized waves during propagations.     

Pressure induced breather overturning on deep water: Exact solution

A vortical model of breather overturning on deep water is proposed. The action of wind is simulated by nonuniform pressure on the free surface. The fluid motion is described by an exact solution of 2D hydrodynamic equations for an inviscid fluid in Lagrangian variables. Fluid particles rotate in circles of different radii. Formation of contraflexure points on the breather profile is studied. The mechanism of wave breaking and the role of flow vorticity are discussed.     

Thermodynamics of the massive Thirring model: Weak sine-Gordon coupling regime

The thermodynamics of the massive Thirring model is formulated in the weak sine-Gordon coupling regime. In particular, the breather problem is discussed and the exact classical theory is reproduced. The soliton mass and the breather mass at finite temperature are also found.     

Breather molecules and localized interaction solutions in the (2+1)-dimensional BLMP equation

The (2+1)-dimensional Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli (BLMP) equation is an important integrable model. In this paper, we obtain the breather molecule, the breather-soliton molecule and some localized interaction solutions to the BLMP equation. In particular, by employing a compound method consisting of the velocity resonance, partial module resonance and degeneration of the breather techniques, we derive some interesting hybrid solutions mixed by a breather-soliton molecule/breather molecule and a lump, as well as a bell-shaped soliton and lump. Due to the lack of the long wave limit, it is the first time using the compound degeneration method to construct the hybrid solutions involving a lump. The dynamical behaviors and mathematical features of the solutions are analyzed theoretically and graphically. The method introduced can be effectively used to study the wave solutions of other nonlinear partial differential equations.     

Breather solutions of a negative order modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and its nonlinear stability

This paper is concerned with a negative order modified Korteweg-de Vries (nmKdV) equation which is in the negative flow of the mKdV hierarchy. We construct the breather solutions by Hirota's bilinear method and derive the infinite conservation laws through the Lax pair of the nmKdV equation. By constructing a new Lyapunov function with the conservation laws, we obtain the nonlinear stability of the breather solutions.     

Breather‐to‐soliton transitions and nonlinear wave interactions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the sextic operators in optical fibers

We find that the sextic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation admits breather‐to‐soliton transitions. With the Darboux transformation, analytic breather solutions with imaginary eigenvalues up to the second order are explicitly presented. The condition for breather‐to‐soliton transitions is explicitly presented and several examples of transitions are shown. Interestingly, we show that the sextic NLS equation admits not only the breather‐to‐bright‐soliton transitions but also the breather‐to‐dark‐soliton transitions. We also show the interactions between two solitons on the constant backgrounds, as well as between breather and soliton.     

Observation of rogue wave triplets in water waves

Doubly-localised breather solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) are considered to be appropriate models to describe rogue waves in water waves as well as in other nonlinear dispersive media such as fibre optics. Within the hierarchy of this type of formations, the Peregrine breather (PB) is the lowest-order rational solution. Higher-order solutions of this kind may be understood as a nonlinear superposition of fundamental Peregrine solutions. These superpositions are nontrivial and admit only a fixed well prescribed number of elementary breathers in each higher-order solution. Here, we report first observation of second-order solution which in reality is a triplet of rogue waves.
