Folded Solitary Waves and Foldons in(2+1) Dimensions

A general type of localized excitations, folded solitary waves and foldons, is defined and studied bothanalytically and graphically. The folded solitary waves and foldons may be “folded“ in quite complicated ways andpossess quite rich structures and abundant interaction properties. The folded phenomenon is quite universal in the realnatural world. The folded solitary waves and foldons are obtained from a quite universal formula and the universalformula is valid for some quite universal (2 1)-dimensional physical models. The “universal“ formula is also extendedto a more general form with many more independent arbitrary functions.     

Multi-valued solitary waves in multidimensional soliton systems

Considering that folded phenomena are rather universal in nature and some arbitrary functions can be included in the exact excitations of many (2+1)-dimensional soliton systems, we use adequate multivalued functions to construct folded solitary structures in multi-dimensions. Based on some interesting variable separation results in the literature, a common formula with arbitrary functions has been derived for suitable physical quantities of some significant (2+1)-dimensional soliton systems like the generalized Ablowitz－Kaup－Newell－Segur (GAKNS) model, the generalized Nizhnik－Novikov－Veselov (GNNV) system and the new (2+1)-dimensional long dispersive wave (NLDW) system. Then a new special type of two-dimensional solitary wave structure, i.e. the folded solitary wave and foldon, is obtained. The novel structure exhibits interesting features not found in the single valued solitary excitations.     

Periodic Folded Wave Patterns for （2＋1）-Dimensional Higher-Order Broer-Kaup Equation

A general solution including three arbitrary functions is obtained for the （2＋1）-dimensional higher-order Broer-Kaup equation by means of WTC truncation method. Introducing proper multiple valued functions and Jacobi elliptic functions in the seed solution, special types of periodic folded waves are derived. In long wave limit these periodic folded wave patterns may degenerate into single localized folded solitary wave excitations. The interactions of the periodic folded waves and their degenerated single folded solitary waves are investigated graphically and are found to be completely elastic.     

Periodic folded waves for a （2＋1）-dimensional modified dispersive water wave equation

A general solution, including three arbitrary functions, is obtained for a (2+1)-dimensional modified dispersive water-wave (MDWW) equation by means of the WTC truncation method. Introducing proper multiple valued functions and Jacobi elliptic functions in the seed solution, special types of periodic folded waves are derived. In the long wave limit these periodic folded wave patterns may degenerate into single localized folded solitary wave excitations. The interactions of the periodic folded waves and the degenerated single folded solitary waves are investigated graphically and found to be completely elastic.     

Effect of Nonlinearity on Scattering Dynamics of Solitary Waves

We discuss the effect of nonlinearity on the scattering dynamics of solitary waves. The pure nth power model with the interaction potential V （Х） = Х^n/n is present, which is a paradigm model in the study of solitary waves. The dependence of the scattering property on nonlinearity is closely related to the topological structures of the solitary waves. Moreover, for one of the four collision types, the rates of energy loss increase with the strength of nonlinearity and would reach 1 at n ≥ 10, which means that the two solitary waves would become of fragments completely after the collision.     

Multilinear Variable Separation Approach in （3＋1）-Dimensions： the Burgers Equation

The multi-linear variable separation approach has been proved to be very useful in solving many (2 1)-dimensional integrable systems. Taking the (3 l)-dimeusional Burgers equation as a simple example, here we extend the multi-linear variable separation approach to (3 l )-dimensions. The form of the universal formula obtained from many (2 l )-dimensional system is still valid. However, a more general arbitrary function (with three independentvariables) has been included in the formula. Starting from the universal formula, one may obtain abundant (3 l )-dimensional localized excitations. In particular, we display a special paraboloid-type camber soliton solution and a dipole-type dromion solution which is localized in all directions.     

Effect of dust charge variation on dust—acoustic solitary waves in a magnetized two—ion—temperature dusty plasma

The effect of dust charge variation on the dust-acoustic solitary structures is investigated in a warm magnetized two-ion-temperature dusty plasma consisting of a negatively and variably charged extremely massive dust fluid and ions of two different temperatures. It is shown that the dust charge variation as well as the presence of a second component of ions would modify the properties of the dust-acoustic solitary structures and may exite both dust-acoustic solitary holes (soliton waves with a density dip) and positive solitons (soliton waves with a density hump).     

Weakly Two—Dimensional Solitary Waves on Coupled Nonlinear Transmission Lines

We study the nonlinear solitary wave solution under the transverse perturbations for a system of coupled nonlinear electrical transmission lines.In the continuum limit and suitably scaled coordinates,the voltage on the system is described by a modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.The cut-off frequency of the growth rate for the solitary waves under transverse perturbations has been analytically obtained.It is in agreement with the cases P=1/2 and p=1 which have been studied previously.     

Folded Localized Excitations of the （2＋1）-Dimensional Broer-Kaup Equation

Considering that the multi-valued (folded) localized excitations may appear in many (2 1)-dimensional soliton equations because some arbitrary functions can be included in the exact solutions, we use some special types of muliti-valued functions to construct folded solitrary waves and foldons in the (2 1)-dimensional Broer-Kaup equation.These folded excitations are invesigated both analytically and graphically in an alternative way.     

Large Amplitude Solitary Waves in a Fluid－Filled Elastic Tube

By usign the potential method to a fluid filled elastic tube, we obtained a solitary wave solution.Compared with recluetive perturbation method, this method can be used for larger amplitude solitary waves. The result is in agreement with that of small amplitude approximation from reduetive perturbation method when the amplitude is small enough.     

New localized structures of a (2+1)-dimensional system obtained by variable separation approach

Starting from a quite universal formula, which is obtained by variable separation approach and valid for many (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear physical models, a new general type of solitary wave, i.e., semifolded solitary waves (SFSWs) and semifoldons, is defined and studied. We investigate the behaviors of the interactions for the new semifolded localized structures both analytically and graphically. Some novel features or interesting behaviors are revealed.

Decay of solitons in an isotropic collisionless quasineutral plasma with isothermal pressure

Soliton-type solutions of the complete unreduced system of transport equations describing the plane-parallel motions of an isotropic collisionless quasineutral plasma in a magnetic field with constant ion and electron temperatures are studied. The regions of the physical parameters for fast and slow magnetosonic branches, where solitons and generalized solitary waves—nonlocal soliton structures in the form of a soliton “core” with asymptotic behavior at infinity in the form of a periodic low-amplitude wave—exist, are determined. In the range of parameters where solitons are replaced by generalized solitary waves, soliton-like disturbances are subjected to decay whose mechanisms are qualitatively different for slow and fast magnetosonic waves. A specific feature of the decay of such disturbances for fast magnetosonic waves is that the energy of the disturbance decreases primarily as a result of the quasistationary emission of a resonant periodic wave of the same nature. Similar disturbances in the form of a soliton core of a slow magnetosonic generalized solitary wave essentially do not emit resonant modes on the Alfvén branch but they lose energy quite rapidly because of continuous emission of a slow magnetosonic wave. Possible types of shocks which are formed by two types of existing soliton solutions (solitons and generalized solitary waves) are examined in the context of such solutions.     

Soliton management in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation model with varying dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain

The novel stable “soliton islands” in a “sea of solitary waves” of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation model with varying dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or absorption are discovered. Different soliton management regimes are predicted.
