Dynamics of the smooth positons of the complex modified KdV equation

We provide the explicit formulae of the smooth positon solutions of the complex modified KdV (mKdV) equation using degenerate Darboux transformation with respect to the eigenvalues. The dynamics of the smooth positons of the complex mKdV are discussed in details using the method, i.e. decomposition of the modulus square. For this kind solution, we show explicitly the decomposition, bent trajectory and variable ‘phase shift’ after collision, which are remarkably different from the singular positons of the real-valued mKdV equation.

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

In this paper, an extended multi-dimensional N-coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger 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.     

Superregular breathers and state transitions in a resonant erbium-doped fiber system with higher-order effects

In this paper, we concentrate on the Hirota and Maxwell-Bloch (HMB) system governing the propagation of the femtosecond pulse in an erbium doped fiber. We present the superregular breather solutions that are nonlinear superposition of a pair of travelling breathers propagating in opposite directions. We further study the full- and half-transition modes of the superregular breather solution, which appears as a result of the coupled and higher-order effects. These waves reduce to small localized perturbations of the background at time zero.     

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.     

Breather interactions and higher-order nonautonomous rogue waves for the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger Maxwell–Bloch equations

Under investigation in this paper are the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger Maxwell–Bloch (INLS-MB) equations which model the propagation of optical waves in an inhomogeneous nonlinear light guide doped with two-level resonant atoms. Higher-order nonautonomous breather as well as rogue wave solutions in terms of the determinants for the INLS-MB equations are presented via the n$n$-fold variable-coefficient modified Darboux transformation. The interactions among two nonautonomous breathers are graphically discussed, including the fundamental breather, bound breather, two-breather compression and two-breather evolution, etc. Moreover, several patterns of the higher-order rogue waves are also exhibited, such as the square rogue wave, two- and three-order periodic rogue waves, periodic fission and fusion, two-order stationary rogue waves, and recurrence of the two-order rogue waves. The character of the trajectory of the two-order periodic rogue wave is analyzed. Additionally, a novel type of interaction, namely, the collision between the breather and long-lived rogue waves, is found to be elastic. Our results could be useful for controlling the nonautonomous optical breathers and rogue waves in the inhomogeneous erbium doped fiber.

求出了高阶Hirota方程在可积条件下的一种精确呼吸子解,并基于此呼吸子解得到了Hirota方程的一种怪波解.在此怪波解的基础上研究了怪波的激发,发现对平面波进行周期性扰动可以激发怪波,对平面波进行高斯扰动可以更快地激发怪波,还可以直接在常数项上增加高斯扰动激发怪波.作为一个实例,采用分步傅里叶方法数值研究了在考虑自频移和拉曼增益时怪波的传输特性,自频移使怪波中心发生偏移,拉曼增益使得怪波分裂得更快,而且拉曼增益值越大怪波分裂得越快,但是拉曼增益对怪波的峰值强度没有明显影响.最后数值模拟了相邻怪波之间的相互作用特点,随着怪波之间距离的减小,怪波将合二为一,成为一束怪波,之后再分裂,并分析了拉曼增益和自频移对怪波相互作用的影响.     

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.     

Fusionable and fissionable waves of (2+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equation

We investigate a (2+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equation and describe its nonlinear dynamical behaviors in physics. Based on the N-soliton solutions, the higher-order fissionable and fusionable waves, fissionable or fusionable waves mixed with soliton molecular and breather waves can be obtained by various constraints of special parameters. At the same time, by the long wave limit method, the interaction waves between fissionable or fusionable waves with higher-order lumps are acquired. Combined with the dynamic figures of the waves, the properties of the solution are deeply studied to reveal the physical significance of the waves.     

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.     

Higher-order modulation instability in nonlinear fiber optics

We report theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of higher-order modulation instability in the focusing nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. This higher-order instability arises from the nonlinear superposition of elementary instabilities, associated with initial single breather evolution followed by a regime of complex, yet deterministic, pulse splitting. We analytically describe the process using the Darboux transformation and compare with experiments in optical fiber. We show how a suitably low frequency modulation on a continuous wave field induces higher-order modulation instability splitting with the pulse characteristics at different phases of evolution related by a simple scaling relationship. We anticipate that similar processes are likely to be observed in many other systems including plasmas, Bose-Einstein condensates, and deep water waves.     

Mutual-focusing of two co-propagating beams and formation of trapped spatial breather pair in saturable nonlinear media

In this paper, using parabolic equation approach, coupled propagation of two coaxially co-propagating and mutually incoherent bright cylindrical beams in saturable nonlinear medium has been investigated. Considering the coupling coefficient equal to unity (κ=1), a detailed account of formation of spatial soliton pair (i.e. both beams are stationary trapped) and spatial breather pair (i.e. width of each beam oscillates with the propagation distance) has been provided and existence of spatially trapped breather pair (i.e. average width of each breather of the pair does not change with the propagation distance) has been shown. Conditions of formation of trapped spatial breather pair and their existence line has also been revealed for arbitrary beam width ratio of the beams. It is revealed that spatial soliton pairs are just a special case of trapped breather pair. The regions (conditions) of mutual-focusing and mutual-defocusing of spatial soliton pair/breather pair have also been identified. Lastly, the law of trapped breather pair formation is proposed.     

Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and Akhmediev breather of higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation

In terms of Darboux transformation, we have exactly solved the higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation that describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in optical fibers. We discuss the modulation instability(MI) process in detail and find that the higher-order term has no effect on the MI condition. Under different conditions, we obtain Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and Akhmediev breather solutions of higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation. The former describes the propagation of a bright pulse on a continuous wave background in the presence of higher-order effects and the soliton's peak position is shifted owing to the presence of a nonvanishing background, while the latter implies the modulation instability process that can be used in practice to produce a train of ultrashort optical soliton pulses.     

Positons of the modified Korteweg de Vries equation

The concept of positons, i.e. certain multiparametric solutions of the Korteweg de Vries equation with new properties, is extended to the modified Korteweg de Vries equation. It is shown that the essential features of positons carry over to this case; the collision of positons, the solitary-wave-positon interaction and simple generalizations are discussed in detail. Suggestions for future research and possible applications of the present work are sketched.     

Higher-order solutions of a matrix AKNS system associated with a Hermitian symmetric space

In this paper, we study a matrix Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) system associated with a Hermitian symmetric space as a follow-up study of an earlier paper. A multi-fold generalized Darboux transformation of the matrix AKNS system associated with a Hermitian symmetric space is constructed by means of determinants. Subsequently, we derive various higher-order solutions for this system, including fan-shaped rogue wave and (truncated) Kuznetsov–Ma breather solutions. Specifically, we show the fusion and fission processes for two truncated Kuznetsov–Ma breathers by taking different free parameters.     

Spectral dynamics of modulation instability described using Akhmediev breather theory

The Akhmediev breather formalism of modulation instability is extended to describe the spectral dynamics of induced multiple sideband generation from a modulated continuous wave field. Exact theoretical results describing the frequency domain evolution are compared with experiments performed using single mode fiber around 1550 nm. The spectral theory is shown to reproduce the depletion dynamics of an injected modulated continuous wave pump and to describe the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrence and recovery towards the initial state. Realistic simulations including higher-order dispersion, loss, and Raman scattering are used to identify that the primary physical factors that preclude perfect recurrence are related to imperfect initial conditions.     

New lump,lump-kink,breather waves and other interaction solutions to the (3+1)-dimensional soliton equation

This study investigates the (3+1)-dimensional soliton equation via the Hirota bilinear approach and symbolic computations. We successfully construct some new lump, lump-kink, breather wave, lump periodic, and some other new interaction solutions. All the reported solutions are verified by inserting them into the original equation with the help of the Wolfram Mathematica package. The solution's visual characteristics are graphically represented in order to shed more light on the results obtained. The findings obtained are useful in understanding the basic nonlinear fluid dynamic scenarios as well as the dynamics of computational physics and engineering sciences in the related nonlinear higher dimensional wave fields.     

Incoherently coupled Hermite-Gaussian breather and soliton pairs in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

We theoretically investigate the propagation of incoherently coupled Hermite-Gaussian breather and soliton pairs in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. It is found that multipole-mode soliton pairs with arbitrary different orders of Hermite-Gaussian shape can exist when the total power of two beams equals the critical power and the ratio of the beam widths for the Gaussian part is inversely proportional to the square root of the ratio of the wave numbers. When the total power does not equal the critical power, the Hermite-Gaussian breather pair exists and their beam widths evolve analogously. For general cases where the ratio of the beam widths is arbitrary, soliton-breather pairs or breather-breather pairs can be formed and their beam widths evolve synchronously in-phase or out-of-phase. Numerical simulations directly based on the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation are conducted for comparison with our theoretical predictions. The numerical stability analysis shows the higher-order Hermite-Gaussian solitons can not be stable for small nonlocality or for some media like liquid crystals.
