The stability of two-dimensional spatial solitons in cubic–quintic–septimal nonlinear media with different diffractions and $${\varvec{\mathcal {}}}$$-symmetric potentials

A (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation in cubic–quintic–septimal nonlinear media with different diffractions and \({\mathcal {PT}}\)-symmetric potentials is studied, and (2+1)-dimensional spatial solitons are derived. The stable region of analytical spatial solitons is discussed by means of the eigenvalue method. The direct numerical simulation indicates that analytical spatial soliton solutions stably evolve within stable region in the media of focusing septimal and focusing or defocusing cubic nonlinearities with disappearing quintic nonlinearity under the 2D extended Scarf II potential. However, under the extended \({\mathcal {PT}}\)-symmetric potential with \(p=2\) and \(p=3\), analytical spatial soliton solutions stably evolve within stable region in the media of focusing quintic and septimal nonlinearities with defocusing cubic nonlinearity. In other cases, analytical spatial soliton solutions cannot sustain their original shapes, and they are distorted and broken up and finally decay into noise.

Scalar and vector multipole and vortex solitons in the spatially modulated cubic–quintic nonlinear media

We derive scalar and vector multipole and vortex soliton solutions in the spatially modulated cubic–quintic nonlinear media, which is governed by a (3+1)-dimensional N-coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with spatially modulated nonlinearity and transverse modulation. If the modulation depth \(q=1\), the vortex soliton is constructed, and if \(q=0\), the multipole soliton, including dipole, quadrupole, hexapole, octopole and dodecagon solitons, is constructed, respectively, when the topological charge \(k=1\)–5. If the topological charge \(k=0\), scalar solitons can be obtained. Moreover, the number of layers for the scalar and vector multipole and vortex solitons is decided by the value of the soliton order number n.     

Stability of Bragg grating solitons in a semilinear dual-core system with cubic–quintic nonlinearity

The existence and stability of quiescent Bragg grating solitons in a dual-core fiber, where one core contains a Bragg grating with cubic–quintic nonlinearity, and the other is a linear are studied. The model admits two disjoint bandgaps when the relative group velocity in the linear core, c, is zero: one in the upper half and the other in the lower half of the system’s linear spectrum. In the general case (i.e., \(c\ne 0\)), a central gap (which is a genuine gap) is formed, while the lower and upper gaps overlap with one branch of continuous spectrum, and therefore, they are not genuine bandgaps. For quiescent solitons, exact analytical solutions are found in implicit form for \(c=0\). For nonzero c, soliton solutions are obtained numerically. The system supports two disjoint families (referred to as Type 1 and Type 2) of zero-velocity soliton solutions, separated by a border. Both Type 1 and Type 2 soliton solutions exist throughout the upper and lower gaps but not in the central gap. The stability of both soliton families is investigated by means of systematic numerical simulations. It is found that Type 2 solitons are always unstable and are destroyed upon propagation. On the other hand, unstable Type 1 solitons may either decay into radiation or radiate some energy and evolve into a moving Type 1 soliton. Also, in the case of Type 1 solitons, we have identified stable regions in the plane of quintic nonlinearity and frequency. The influence of coupling coefficient and the relative group velocity in the linear core on the stability of solitons are analyzed.

Vortex solitons of the (3+1)-dimensional spatially modulated cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the transverse modulation

Vortex solitons in the spatially modulated cubic–quintic nonlinear media are governed by a (3+1)-dimensional cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with spatially modulated nonlinearity and transverse modulation. Via the variable separation principle with the similarity transformation, we derive two families of vortex soliton solutions in the spatially modulated cubic–quintic nonlinear media. For the disappearing and parabolic transverse modulation, vortex solitons with different configurations are constructed. The similar configurations of vortex solitons exist for the same value of \(l-k\) with the topological charge k and degree number l. Moreover, the number of the inner layer structure of vortex solitons getting rid of the package covering layer is related to \((n-1)/2+1\) with the soliton order number n. For the disappearing transverse modulation, there exist phase azimuthal jumps around their cores of vortex solitons with \(2\pi \) phase change in every jump, and any two jumps one after another realize the change in \(\pi \). For the parabolic transverse modulation, all phases of vortex soliton exist k-jump, and every jump realizes the change in \(2\pi /k\); thus, k-jumps totally realize the azimuthal change in \(2\pi \) around their cores.     

Optimal Time Decay of the Vlasov–Poisson–Boltzmann System in $${\mathbb R^3}$$

The Vlasov–Poisson–Boltzmann System governs the time evolution of the distribution function for dilute charged particles in the presence of a self-consistent electric potential force through the Poisson equation. In this paper, we are concerned with the rate of convergence of solutions to equilibrium for this system over \mathbb R³{\mathbb R^3}. It is shown that the electric field, which is indeed responsible for the lowest-order part in the energy space, reduces the speed of convergence, hence the dispersion of this system over the full space is slower than that of the Boltzmann equation without forces; the exact L ²-rate for the former is (1 + t)^−1/4 while it is (1 + t)^−3/4 for the latter. For the proof, in the linearized case with a given non-homogeneous source, Fourier analysis is employed to obtain time-decay properties of the solution operator. In the nonlinear case, the combination of the linearized results and the nonlinear energy estimates with the help of the proper Lyapunov-type inequalities leads to the optimal time-decay rate of perturbed solutions under some conditions on initial data.     

Multistage γ-level \mathcal{H}_{\infty} control for input-saturated systems with disturbances

For input-saturated systems with disturbances, states in the domain of attraction cannot converge to the origin, but only to neighborhood around it. In order to design the smallest possible target invariant set and the largest possible domain of attraction, in this paper, we introduce a multistage γ-level $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ control for achieving a smaller target invariant set within a given $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ performance level and a larger domain of attraction than results obtained in previous studies. In particular, for the case in which the disturbances satisfy a matched condition, this paper introduces an $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ control with an extra control part to perfectly reject these disturbances despite the uncertainties; the introduction of the $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ control with an extra control part causes the target invariant set to shrink to the origin and the $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ performance level to become zero.

Conservation laws and Darboux transformation for the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equations with variable coefficients in nonlinear optics

In this paper, by Darboux transformation and symbolic computation we investigate the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equations with variable coefficients, which come from twin-core nonlinear optical fibers and waveguides, describing the effects of quintic nonlinearity on the ultrashort optical pulse propagation in the non-Kerr media. Lax pair of the equations is obtained, and the corresponding Darboux transformation is constructed. One-soliton solutions are derived; some physical quantities such as the amplitude, velocity, width, initial phases, and energy are, respectively, analyzed; and finally an infinite number of conservation laws are also derived. These results might be of some value for the ultrashort optical pulse propagation in the non-Kerr media.

Global Well-Posedness for Navier–Stokes Equations with Small Initial Value in $${B^{0}_{n,\infty}(\Omega)}$$

We prove global well-posedness for instationary Navier–Stokes equations with initial data in Besov space \({B^{0}_{n,\infty}(\Omega)}\) in whole and half space, and bounded domains of \({{\mathbb R}^{n}}\), \({n \geq 3}\). To this end, we prove maximal \({L^{\infty}_{\gamma}}\) -regularity of the sectorial operators in some Banach spaces and, in particular, maximal \({L^{\infty}_{\gamma}}\) -regularity of the Stokes operator in little Nikolskii spaces \({b^{s}_{q,\infty}(\Omega)}\), \({s \in (-1, 2)}\), which are of independent significance. Then, based on the maximal regularity results and \({b^{s_{1}}_{q_{1},\infty}-B^{s_{2}}_{q_{2,1}}}\) estimates of the Stokes semigroups, we prove global well-posedness for Navier–Stokes equations under smallness condition on \({\|u_{0}\|_{B^{0}_{n,\infty}(\Omega)}}\) via a fixed point argument using Banach fixed point theorem.     

Existence,Uniqueness and Lipschitz Dependence for Patlak–Keller–Segel and Navier–Stokes in {\mathbb{R}^2} with Measure-Valued Initial Data

We establish a new local well-posedness result in the space of finite Borel measures for mild solutions of the parabolic–elliptic Patlak–Keller–Segel (PKS) model of chemotactic aggregation in two dimensions. Our result only requires that the initial measure satisfy the necessary assumption \({\max_{x \in \mathbb{R}^2} \mu (\{x\}) < 8 \pi}\) . This work improves the small-data results of Biler (Stud Math 114(2):181–192, 1995) and the existence results of Senba and Suzuki (J Funct Anal 191:17–51, 2002). Our work is based on that of Gallagher and Gallay (Math Ann 332:287–327, 2005), who prove the uniqueness and log-Lipschitz continuity of the solution map for the 2D Navier–Stokes equations (NSE) with measure-valued initial vorticity. We refine their techniques and present an alternative version of their proof which yields existence, uniqueness and Lipschitz continuity of the solution maps of both PKS and NSE. Many steps are more difficult for PKS than for NSE, particularly on the level of the linear estimates related to the self-similar spreading solutions.
