Transient Optical Regime of Two Level Atom in Laser Light

An extended analytic approach is considered for optical Bloch equations in the two level atom interacting with laser light. The separation approach of coupled differential equations is always possible with a sequence of special transformation into the Riccati nonlinear differential equation. The conditions that permit an exact solutions of three coupled system are extracted in a natural manner. The case of sodium atom moving along the axis of a monochromatic wave is treated in some details including a discussion on the radiation pressure forces exerted by laser light in the transient regime.

Consistent Riccati Expansion Method and Its Applications to Nonlinear Fractional Partial Differential Equations

In this paper, a consistent Riccati expansion method is developed to solve nonlinear fractional partial differential equations involving Jumarie's modified Riemann–Liouville derivative. The efficiency and power of this approach are demonstrated by applying it successfully to some important fractional differential equations, namely, the time fractional Burgers, fractional Sawada–Kotera, and fractional coupled mKdV equation. A variety of new exact solutions to these equations under study are constructed.     

Nonlinear dynamics of cantilevered extensible pipes conveying fluid

In this paper the nonlinear planar dynamics of a fluid-conveying cantilevered pipe is investigated. The centreline of the pipe is considered to be extensible; i.e., coupled longitudinal and transverse displacements are considered. The extended version of the Lagrange equations for systems containing non-material volumes is employed to derive the equations of motion, resulting directly in a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The pseudo-arclength continuation technique along with direct time integration are used to solve these equations. Bifurcation diagrams of the system are constructed as the flow velocity is increased; these diagrams are supplemented by time traces, phase-plane portraits, and fast Fourier transforms for some sets of system parameters. As opposed to the case of an inextensible pipe, an extensible pipe elongates in the axial direction as the flow velocity is increased from zero; depending on the system parameters, this static elongation can be considerable. At the critical flow velocity, the system loses stability via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, emerging from the trivial solution for the transverse displacement and leading to a flutter.     

Exponential rational function method for space–time fractional differential equations

In this paper, exponential rational function method is applied to obtain analytical solutions of the space–time fractional Fokas equation, the space–time fractional Zakharov Kuznetsov Benjamin Bona Mahony, and the space–time fractional coupled Burgers’ equations. As a result, some exact solutions for them are successfully established. These solutions are constructed in fractional complex transform to convert fractional differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The fractional derivatives are described in Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville sense. The exact solutions obtained by the proposed method indicate that the approach is easy to implement and effective.     

The Application of Extended Tanh-Function Approach in Toda Lattice Equations

In this paper, we generalize the extended tanh-function approach, which used to find new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDES) or coupled nonlinear partial differential equations, to nonlinear differential-difference equations (NDDES). As illustration, we discuss some Toda lattice equations, and solitary wave and periodic wave solutions of these Toda lattice equations are obtained by means of the extended tanh-function approach.

A note on the Lie symmetries of complex partial differential equations and their split real systems

Folklore suggests that the split Lie-like operators of a complex partial differential equation are symmetries of the split system of real partial differential equations. However, this is not the case generally. We illustrate this by using the complex heat equation, wave equation with dissipation, the nonlinear Burgers equation and nonlinear KdV equations. We split the Lie symmetries of a complex partial differential equation in the real domain and obtain real Lie-like operators. Further, the complex partial differential equation is split into two coupled or uncoupled real partial differential equations which constitute a system of two equations for two real functions of two real variables. The Lie symmetries of this system are constructed by the classical Lie approach. We compare these Lie symmetries with the split Lie-like operators of the given complex partial differential equation for the examples considered. We conclude that the split Lie-like operators of complex partial differential equations are not in general symmetries of the split system of real partial differential equations. We prove a proposition that gives the criteria when the Lie-like operators are symmetries of the split system.

Analysis of scattering from oil film on sea surface with a model of stratified medium with slightly rough interfaces

A model of stratified medium with slightly rough interfaces is presented for analysis of scattering from oil film on sea surface. Because the thickness of oil film is considered, the model is more realistic than that raised in other paper in which only single rough surface is assumed. In this paper the coupled differential equations are derived and solved by full wave approach, and the simple expressions of back scattering cross section for oil film on sea surface have been obtained. According to these expressions some curves are given for different thickness of oil film. It is shown that the results obtained by the present model are in better agreement with the experimental data than those obtained by the single surface model.     

Vibrations of double-string complex system under moving forces. Closed solutions

In this paper the dynamic response of a double-string system traversed by a constant or a harmonically oscillating moving force is considered. The force is moving with a constant velocity on the top string. The strings are identical, parallel, one upon the other and continuously coupled by a linear Winkler elastic element. The classical solution of the response of a double-string system subjected to a force moving with a constant velocity has a form of an infinite series. The main goal of this paper is to show that in the considered case a part of the solution can be presented in a closed, analytical form instead of an infinite series. The presented method of finding the solution in a closed, analytical form is based on the observation that the solution of the system of partial differential equations in the form of an infinite series is also a solution of an appropriate system of ordinary differential equations.     

An efficient approach toward guided mode extraction in two-dimensional photonic crystals

A rigorous, fast and efficient method is proposed for analytical extraction of guided defect modes in two-dimensional photonic crystals, where each Bloch spatial harmonic is expanded in terms of Hermite-Gauss functions. This expansion, after being substituted in Maxwell’s equations, is analytically projected in the Hilbert space spanned by the Hermite-Gauss basis functions, and then a new set of first order coupled linear ordinary differential equations with non-constant coefficients is obtained. This set of equations is solved by employing successive differential transfer matrices, whereupon defect modes, i.e. the guided modes propagating in the straight line-defect photonic crystal waveguides and coupled resonator optical waveguides, are analytically derived. In this fashion, the governing differential equations are converted into an algebraic and easy to solve matrix eigenvalue problem. Thanks to the analyticity of the proposed approach, the eigenmodes of these structures can be extracted very quickly. The validity of the obtained results is however justified by comparing them to those derived by using the standard finite-difference time-domain method.     

Exact Solutions of Supersymmetric KdV-a System via Bosonization Approach

Bosonization approach is applied in solving the most general N=1 supersymmetric Korteweg de-Vries equation with an arbitrary parameter a (sKdV-a) equation. By introducing some fermionic parameters in the expansion of the superfield, the sKdV-a equation is transformed to a new coupled bosonic system. The Lie point symmetries of this model are considered and similarity reductions of it are conducted. Several types of similarity reduction solutions of the coupled bosonic equations are simply obtained for all values of a. Some kinds of exact solutions of the sKdV-a equation are discussed which was not considered integrable previously.

Transient Dynamics in the Random Growth and Reset Model

A mean-field type model with random growth and reset terms is considered. The stationary distributions resulting from the corresponding master equation are relatively easy to obtain; however, for practical applications one also needs to know the convergence to stationarity. The present work contributes to this direction, studying the transient dynamics in the discrete version of the model by two different approaches. The first method is based on mathematical induction by the recursive integration of the coupled differential equations for the discrete states. The second method transforms the coupled ordinary differential equation system into a partial differential equation for the generating function. We derive analytical results for some important, practically interesting cases and discuss the obtained results for the transient dynamics.     

Spin 2 Field Equation in Expanding Universe

The spin 2 field equations are separated in the Robertson-Walker space-time by the Newman-Penrose formalism and by using a null tetrad frame previously considered. The angular and radial separated equations are integrated by generalizing and improving results relative to the massless case. The separated time equations are governed by two coupled linear differential equations that depend on the cosmological background. They are solved and studied for some models of cosmological expansion such as the linear and exponential expansion and the matter dominated and radiative expansion of the standard cosmology.     

Extension of Operational Matrix Technique for the Solution of Nonlinear System of Caputo Fractional Differential Equations Subjected to Integral Type Boundary Constrains

We extend the operational matrices technique to design a spectral solution of nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs). The derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. The coupled system of two FDEs is considered, subjected to more generalized integral type conditions. The basis of our approach is the most simple orthogonal polynomials. Several new matrices are derived that have strong applications in the development of computational scheme. The scheme presented in this article is able to convert nonlinear coupled system of FDEs to an equivalent S-lvester type algebraic equation. The solution of the algebraic structure is constructed by converting the system into a complex Schur form. After conversion, the solution of the resultant triangular system is obtained and transformed back to construct the solution of algebraic structure. The solution of the matrix equation is used to construct the solution of the related nonlinear system of FDEs. The convergence of the proposed method is investigated analytically and verified experimentally through a wide variety of test problems.     

The C-number treatment for one-photon absorptive optical bistability in Fabry-Perot cavity

The problem of optical bistability in a standing wave cavity in the steady state leads to a pair of coupled, nonlinear, ordinary differential equations for the forward and backward waves. Here an approach different from the truncation of hierarchy and spatial average is applied to obtain this pair of equations. The results are compared with those obtained from the other approaches.     

Analytic treatment of nonlinear evolution equations using first integral method

In this paper, we show the applicability of the first integral method to combined KdV?CmKdV equation, Pochhammer?CChree equation and coupled nonlinear evolution equations. The power of this manageable method is confirmed by applying it for three selected nonlinear evolution equations. This approach can also be applied to other nonlinear differential equations.     

Numerical stability for laser radiation computations

The numerical stability for solving the coupled differential equations for laser radiation intensity and gain is investigated. Simplified lasing conditions are considered under which a closed-form solution is obtained and numerical stability can be determined. The analytical solution illustrates the effect of the important physical parameters, and it provides a basis for evaluation of numerical methods. It is shown that the explicit numerical procedure is inherently unstable, and that stability requires an implicit approach. Partially-implicit methods, which are conditionally stable, are also discussed.     

A new approach for seeking coefficient function solutions of conformable fractional partial differential equations based on the Jacobi elliptic equation

In this paper, we present an approach for seeking exact solutions with coefficient function forms of conformable fractional partial differential equations. By a combination of an under-determined fractional transformation and the Jacobi elliptic equation, exact solutions with coefficient function forms can be obtained for fractional partial differential equations. The innovation point of the present approach lies in two aspects. One is the fractional transformation, which involve the traveling wave transformations used by many articles as special cases. The other is that more general exact solutions with coefficient function forms can be found, and traveling wave solutions with constants coefficients are only special cases of our results. As of applications, we apply this method to the space-time fractional (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations and the time fractional Bogoyavlenskii equations. As a result, some exact solutions with coefficient function forms for the two equations are successfully found.
