GENERALIZED FRACTIONAL TRACE VARIATIONAL IDENTITY AND A NEW FRACTIONAL INTEGRABLE COUPLINGS OF SOLITON HIERARCHY

Based on fractional isospectral problems and general bilinear forms, the gener-alized fractional trace identity is presented. Then, a new explicit Lie algebra is introduced for which the new fractional integrable couplings of a fractional soliton hierarchy are derived from a fractional zero-curvature equation. Finally, we obtain the fractional Hamiltonian structures of the fractional integrable couplings of the soliton hierarchy.

Dark solitonic excitations and collisions from a fourth-order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger model for the alpha helical protein

Recent protein observations motivate the dark-soliton study to explain the energy transfer in the proteins. In this paper we will investigate a fourth-order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which governs the Davydov solitons in the alpha helical protein with higher-order effects. Painlevé analysis is performed to prove the equation is integrable. Through the introduction of an auxiliary function, bilinear forms and dark N-soliton solutions are constructed with the Hirota method and symbolic computation. Asymptotic analysis on the two-soliton solutions indicates that the soliton collisions are elastic. Decrease of the coefficient of higher-order effects can increase the soliton velocities. Graphical analysis on the two-soliton solutions indicates that the head-on collision between the two solitons, overtaking collision between the two solitons and collision between a moving soliton and a stationary one are all elastic. Collisions among the three solitons are all pairwise elastic.     

Bright-soliton collisions with shape change by intensity redistribution for the coupled Sasa–Satsuma system in the optical fiber communications

By means of symbolic computation and Darboux transformation, analytically and numerically investigated in this paper is a two-coupled Sasa–Satsuma system, which can describe the pulse propagation in birefringent fibers, so as to increase the bit rate in optical fibers, or achieve wavelength-division multiplexing. Analytical bright N-soliton solution of the system is firstly derived. Based on the bright one- and two-soliton solutions, numerical simulation and figure illustration are carried out on through the multi-parametric management, i.e., different choices among eight parameters in the two-soliton solutions. The interaction mechanisms for the bright two-solitons are revealed in three aspects: Separating evolution behaviors, elastic collision behaviors and inelastic collision behaviors. There exist three different cases for the inelastic collision for the two-soliton, which reflect correspondingly different energy transfer mechanisms (by intensity redistribution) between the two components: Manakov-typed collision; a near-elastic collision and another completely inelastic collision between the two components; and four single-solitons in two components undergo shape changes (inelastic and elastic) due to intensity redistribution, where one single-soliton keeps invariant and the other three single-solitons change during the collision. The collision mechanisms may be viewed as the two-solitons interact in a waveguide supporting propagation of two nonlinear waves simultaneously. In general, partial suppression (enhancement) of intensity between the components is dependent on the values of the soliton parameters.     

Generalized dressing method for the extended two-dimensional Toda lattice hierarchy and its reductions

In this paper, we solve the extended two-dimensional Toda lattice hierarchy (ex2DTLH) by the generalized dressing method developed in Liu-Lin-Jin-Zeng (2009). General Casoratian determinant solutions for this hierarchy are obtained. In particular, explicit solutions of soliton-type are formulated by using the τ-function in the form of exponential functions. The periodic reduction and one-dimensional reduction of ex2DTLH are studied by finding the constraints. Many reduced systems are shown, including the pe...     

Semi-discrete integrable nonlinear Schrödinger system with background-controlled inter-site resonant coupling

We summarize the most featured items characterizing the semi-discrete nonlinear Schrödinger system with background-controlled inter-site resonant coupling. The system is shown to be integrable in the Lax sense that make it possible to obtain its soliton solutions in the framework of properly parameterized dressing procedure based on the Darboux transformation. On the other hand the system integrability inspires an infinite hierarchy of local conservation laws some of which were found explicitly in the framework of generalized recursive approach. The system consists of two basic dynamic subsystems and one concomitant subsystem and it permits the Hamiltonian formulation accompanied by the highly nonstandard Poisson structure. The nonzero background level of concomitant fields mediates the appearance of an additional type of inter-site resonant coupling and as a consequence it establishes the triangular-lattice-ribbon spatial arrangement of location sites for the basic field excitations. Adjusting the background parameter we are able to switch over the system dynamics between two essentially different regimes separated by the critical point. The system criticality against the background parameter is manifested both indirectly by the auxiliary linear spectral problem and directly by the nonlinear dynamical equations themselves. The physical implications of system criticality become evident after the rather sophisticated canonization procedure of basic field variables. There are two variants of system standardization equal in their rights. Each variant is realizable in the form of two nonequivalent canonical subsystems. The broken symmetry between canonical subsystems gives rise to the crossover effect in the nature of excited states. Thus in the under-critical region the system support the bright excitations in both subsystems, while in the over-critical region one of subsystems converts into the subsystem of dark excitations.     

On the multistability of spatial solitons in waveguide and optical lattice

Properties of spatial solitons in channel waveguide and optical lattice are studied with the help of projection operator approach. The nonlinearity is assumed to be of cubic-quintic type. The stability consideration of the fixed point solutions of the ODE’s governing the evolution of soliton parameters indicates to the existence of more than one branch of soliton, giving rise to multistability. Explicit numerical analysis gives more information than the standard Vakhitov–Kolokov criterion. A systematic numerical simulation of the soliton profile gives detailed information about the nature of trapping and structure of the different branches of the pulse. It is observed that even under different launching conditions the solitons do not radiate but get trapped.

Soliton Light Pulse Transport in a Quantum Wire of Nonlinear Ionic Crystal

We discuss theoretically the transport of a light pulse along a quantum wire made of a nonlinear ionic crystal. Under the adiabatic approximation, the propagation of the axial component of the electric field along the quantum wire has soliton properties and its distribution in the cross section of the quantum wire still approximately satisfies the Bessel equation. The size effect of the quantum wire on the dispersion relation of the polaritons is also discussed.
