Rogue waves in multi‐pair plasma medium

The non‐linear propagation of ion acoustic (IA) waves, which is governed by the non‐linear Schrödinger equation, in multi‐pair plasmas (MPPs) containing adiabatic positive and negative ion fluids as well as non‐extensive (q‐distributed) electrons and positrons is theoretically investigated. It is observed that the MPP under consideration supports two types of modes, namely fast and slow IA modes, and the modulationally stable and unstable parametric regimes for the fast and slow IA modes are determined by the sign of the ratio of the dispersive coefficient to the non‐linear one. It is also found that the modulationally unstable regime generates highly energetic IA rogue waves (IARWs), and the amplitude as well as the width of the IARWs decreases with increase in the value of q (for both q > 0 and q < 0 limits). These new striking features of the IARWs are found to be applicable in the space (i.e., D‐region [], and F‐region [H⁺, H^?] of the Earth's ionosphere) and laboratory MPPs (i.e., fullerene [C⁺, C^?]).     

Dust‐acoustic envelope solitons in super‐thermal plasmas

The modulational instability (MI) of the dust‐acoustic waves (DAWs) in an electron‐positron‐ion‐dust plasma (containing super‐thermal electrons, positrons, and ions along with negatively charged adiabatic dust grains) is investigated by the analysis of the non‐linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). To derive the NLSE, the reductive perturbation method was employed. Two different parametric regions for stable and unstable DAWs are observed. The presence of super‐thermal electrons, positrons, and ions significantly modifies both the stable and unstable regions. The critical wave number k_c (at which MI sets in) depends on the super‐thermal electron, positron, and ion, and adiabatic dust concentrations.     

Analytical solutions and rogue waves in (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Analytical solutions in terms of rational-like functions are presented for a (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with time-varying coefficients and a harmonica potential using the similarity transformation and a direct ansatz. Several free functions of time t are involved to generate abundant wave structures. Three types of elementary functions are chosen to exhibit the corresponding nonlinear rogue wave propagations.     

Dust ion-acoustic rogue waves in a three-species ultracold quantum dusty plasmas

Dust ion-acoustic (DIA) rogue waves are reported for a three-component ultracold quantum dusty plasma comprised of inertialess electrons, inertial ions, and negatively charged immobile dust particles. The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation appears for the low frequency limit. Modulation instability (MI) of the DIA waves is analyzed. Influence of the modulation wave number, ion-to-electron Fermi temperature ratio ρ$\rho$ and dust-to-ion background density ratio N_d$N_d$ on the MI growth rate is discussed. The first- and second-order DIA rogue-wave solutions of the NLS equation are examined numerically. It is found that the enhancement of N_d$N_d$ and carrier wave number can increase the envelope rogue-wave amplitudes. However, the increase of ρ$\rho$ reduces the envelope rogue-wave amplitudes.     

Backward ion‐acoustic waves in plasma with unidirectional ion flow

This paper considers ion‐acoustic waves in a plasma in which the ions move unidirectionally. The dispersion equation is considered and analysed as a two‐dimensional problem. It is shown that the ion‐acoustic waves can be in the form of backward waves (BWs ). The area boundaries in the plane {k _x , k _y } where the BW exists are found.     

Effect of non‐extensivity parameter q on the damping rate of dust ion acoustic waves in non‐extensive dusty plasma

Kinetic theory has been applied to study the damping characteristics of dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) in a dusty plasma comprising q‐non‐extensive distributed electrons and ions, while the dust particles are considered extensive following the Maxwellian velocity distribution function. It is found that the results of the three‐dimensional velocity distribution function are more accurate compared to the results of the one‐dimensional velocity distribution function. The numerical solution of the dispersion relation is carried out to study the effect of the non‐extensivity parameter q on the dispersion, the damping rate, and the range of the values of the normalized wavenumber ( k λ_D) for which the DIAWs are weakly damped. It is found that the change in the value of the electron non‐extensivity parameter q_e has a minor effect on the dispersion, the damping rate, and the range of the values of the normalized wavenumber ( k λ_D) for which the DIAWs are weakly damped, while on the other hand, ion non‐extensivity parameter q_i has a strong effect on these arguments. The effect of other parameters, such as the ratio of electron to ion number density and ratio of electron to ion temperature, on the damping characteristics of DIAWs is also highlighted.     

Symmetry Reductions,Group‐Invariant Solutions,and Conservation Laws of a (2+1)‐Dimensional Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in a Heisenberg Ferromagnetic Spin Chain

Nonlinear spin excitations in ferromagnetic spin chains are studied for spintronic and magnetic devices including magnetic‐field sensors and for high‐density data storage. Here, (2+1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, which describes the nonlinear spin dynamics for a Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain. Lie point symmetry generators and Lie symmetry groups of that equation are derived. Lie symmetry groups are related to the time, space, scale, rotation transformations, and Galilean boosts of that equation. Certain solutions, which are associated with the known solutions, are constructed. Based on the Lie symmetry generators, the reduced systems of such an equation are obtained. Based on the polynomial expansion and through one of the reduced systems, group‐invariant solutions are constructed. Soliton‐type group‐invariant solutions are graphically investigated and effects of the magnetic coupling coefficients, that is, α₁, α₂, α₃, and α₄, on the soliton's amplitude, width, and velocity are discussed. It is seen that α₁, α₂, α₃, and α₄ have no influence on the soliton's amplitude, but can affect the soliton's velocity and width. Lax pair and conservation laws of such an equation are derived.     

Dissipative ion‐acoustic waves in collisional electron‐positron‐ion plasmas with Kappa distribution

In this work, linear and non‐linear structures of ion‐acoustic waves (IAWs) are investigated in a collisional plasma consisting of warm ions, superthermal electrons, and positrons. A dissipative effect is assumed due to ion‐neutral collisions. The linear properties of IAWs are investigated. It is shown that the dynamics of the IAWs is governed by the damped Korteweg‐de Vries (K‐dV) equation. It is seen that the ion‐neutral collisions modify the basic features of ion‐acoustic solitary waves significantly. Also, the effect of the plasma parameters on the dissipative IAWs is discussed in detail.     

Spatiotemporal Rogue Waves for the Variable-Coefficient (3+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

With the help of the similarity transformation connected the variable-coefficient (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we firstly obtain first-order and second-order rogue wave solutions. Then, we investigate the controllable behaviors of these rogue waves in the hyperbolic dispersion decreasing profile. Our results indicate that the integral relation between the accumulated time T and the real time t is the basis to realize the control and manipulation of propagation behaviors of rogue waves, such as sustainment and restraint. We can modulate the value T₀ to achieve the sustained and restrained spatiotemporal rogue waves. Moreover, the controllability for position of sustainment and restraint for spatiotemporal rogue waves can also be realized by setting different values of X₀.     

Generalized Darboux Transformations,Rogue Waves,and Modulation Instability for the Coherently Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations in Nonlinear Optics

Nonlinear optics plays a central role in the advancement of optical science and laser‐based technologies. The second‐order rogue‐wave solutions and modulation instability for the coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the positive coherent coupling in nonlinear optics are reported in this paper. Generalized Darboux transformations for such coupled equations are derived, with which the second‐order rational solutions for the purpose of modelling the rogue waves are obtained. With respect to the slowly‐varying complex amplitudes of two interacting optical modes, it is observed that 1) number of valleys of the second‐order rogue waves increases and peak value of the second‐order rogue wave decreases first and then increases; 2) single‐hump second‐order rogue wave turns into the double‐hump second‐order rogue wave; 3) single‐hump bright second‐order rogue wave turns into the dark second‐order rogue wave and finally becomes the three‐hump bright second‐order rogue wave. Meanwhile, baseband modulation instability through the linear stability analysis is seen.     

Rogue waves of a (3+1)-dimensional BKP equation

We investigate certain rogue waves of a (3+1)-dimensional BKP equation via the Kadomtsev-Petviashili hierarchy reduction method. We obtain semi-rational solutions in the determinant form, which contain two special interactions: (i) one lump develops from a kink soliton and then fuses into the other kink one; (ii) a line rogue wave arises from the segment between two kink solitons and then disappears quickly. We find that such a lump or line rogue wave only survives in a short time and localizes in both space and time, which performs like a rogue wave. Furthermore, the higher-order semi-rational solutions describing the interaction between two lumps (one line rogue wave) and three kink solitons are presented.     

Darboux Transformations,Higher-Order Rational Solitons and Rogue Wave Solutions for a(2+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Schrdinger Equation

By Taylor expansion of Darboux matrix, a new generalized Darboux transformations(DTs) for a(2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrdinger(NLS) equation is derived, which can be reduced to two(1 + 1)-dimensional equation:a modified KdV equation and an NLS equation. With the help of symbolic computation, some higher-order rational solutions and rogue wave(RW) solutions are constructed by its(1, N-1)-fold DTs according to determinants. From the dynamic behavior of these rogue waves discussed under some selected parameters, we find that the RWs and solitons are demonstrated some interesting structures including the triangle, pentagon, heptagon profiles, etc. Furthermore, we find that the wave structure can be changed from the higher-order RWs into higher-order rational solitons by modulating the main free parameter. These results may give an explanation and prediction for the corresponding dynamical phenomena in some physically relevant systems.     

Dissipative ion acoustic solitary waves in collisional,magneto‐rotating,non‐thermal electron–positron–ion plasma

The linear and non‐linear dynamics of ion acoustic waves are investigated in three‐component magnetized plasma consisting of cold inertial ions and non‐thermal electrons and positrons. The non‐thermal components are modelled by the hybrid distribution, representing the combination of two (kappa and Cairn's) non‐thermal distributions. The relevant processes, including the slow rotation of plasma along the magnetic field axis and collision between ions and neutrals, are taken into consideration. It is shown that the non‐linear dynamics of the considered system are governed by the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation in modified form. In the general dissipation regime, the effects of the two non‐thermal distributions on the solitary waves are compared. The effects of other plasma parameters, such as collisional and rotational frequency, are also discussed in detail.     

Dust‐ion‐acoustic solitary waves in a magnetized dusty pair‐ion plasma with Cairns‐Gurevich electrons and opposite polarity dust particles

The nonlinear dust‐ion‐acoustic (DIA) solitary structures have been studied in a dusty plasma, including the Cairns‐Gurevich distribution for electrons, both negative and positive ions, and immobile opposite polarity dust grains. The external magnetic field directed along the z‐axis is considered. By using the standard reductive perturbation technique and the hydrodynamics model for the ion fluid, the modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation was derived for small but finite amplitude waves and was provided the solitary wave solution for the parameters relevant. Using the appropriate independent variable, we could find the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation. By plotting some figures, we have discussed and emphasized how the different plasma values, such as the trapping parameter, the positive (or negative) dust number density, the non‐thermal electron parameter, and the ion cyclotron frequency, can influence the solitary wave structures. In addition, using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, we have extracted the centre and saddle points and illustrated the phase portrait of such a system for some particular plasma parameters. Finally, we have graphically investigated the behaviour of the solitary energy wave by changing the plasma values as well as by calculating the instability criterion; we have also discussed the growth rate of the solitary waves. The results could be useful for studying the physical mechanism of nonlinear propagation of DIA solitary waves in laboratory and space plasmas where non‐thermal electrons, pair‐ions, and dust particles can exist.

High Intensity Generation of Entangled Photons in a Two‐Mode Electromagnetic Field

At present, the sources of entangled photons have a low rate of photon generation. This limitation is a key component of quantum informatics for the realization of such functions as linear quantum computation and quantum teleportation. In this paper, we propose a method for high intensity generation of entangled photons in a two‐mode electromagnetic field. On the basis of exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation, when electrons interact in an atom with a strong two‐mode electromagnetic field, it is shown that there may be large quantum entanglement between photons. The quantum entanglement is analyzed on the basis of the Schmidt parameter. It is shown that the Schmidt parameter can reach very high values depending on the choice of characteristics of the two‐mode fields. We find the Wigner function for the considered case. Violation of Bell's inequalities for continuous variables is demonstrated.     

New Bilinear Bäcklund Transformation and Higher Order Rogue Waves with Controllable Center of a Generalized (3+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Wave Equation

In this paper, we first obtain a bilinear form with small perturbation u_0 for a generalized(3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in liquid with gas bubbles. Based on that, a new bilinear B?cklund transformation which consists of four bilinear equations and involves seven arbitrary parameters is constructed. After that, by applying a new symbolic computation method, we construct the higher order rogue waves with controllable center to the generalized(3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation. The rogue waves present new structure, which contain two free parametersα and β. The dynamic properties of the higher order rogue waves are demonstrated graphically. The graphs tell that the parameters α and β can control the center of the rogue waves.     

Spatiotemporal self-similar nonlinear tunneling effects in the (3 + 1)-dimensional inhomogeneous nonlinear medium with the linear and nonlinear gain

With the help of two kinds of similarity transformations connected with the elliptic equation, at first we analytically derive spatiotemporal self-similar solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the linear and nonlinear gain. Then we give out the mutually exclusive parameter domains for bright and dark similaritons. Finally, we discuss nonlinear tunneling effects for spatiotemporal similaritons passing through the nonlinear barrier or well. Results show that bright and dark similaritons in the normal and anomalous dispersion regions have opposite dynamic behaviors.     

The β‐silicon effect. 4: substituent effects on the solvolysis of 1‐alkyl‐2‐(aryldimethylsilyl)ethyl trifluoroacetates

Solvolysis rates of 2‐(aryldimethylsilyl)‐1‐methylethyl and 2‐(aryldimethylsilyl)‐1‐tert‐butylethyl trifluoroacetates were determined conductimetrically in 60% (v/v) aqueous ethanol. The effects of aryl substituents at the silicon atom on the solvolysis rates at 50 °C were correlated with parameters of r⁺ = 0.15 with the Yukawa–Tsuno equation, giving ρ values of ?1.5 for both secondary α‐Me and α‐tert‐Bu systems. The ρ values for those secondary systems are less negative than ?1.75 for the 2‐(aryldimethylsilyl)ethyl system that proceeds by the Eaborn (non‐vertical) mechanism, while they are distinctly more negative than ?0.99 for 2‐(aryldimethylsilyl)‐1‐phenylethyl system that should proceed by the Lambert (vertical) mechanism. There was a fairly linear relationship between the reaction constants (ρ) for the β‐silyl substituent effects and the solvolysis reactivities for a series of β‐silyl substrates. The solvolyses of the α‐Me and tert‐Bu substrates proceed through the transition state (TS) with an appreciable degree of the β‐silyl participation, close to the Eaborn (non‐vertical) TS rather than to the Lambert (vertical) TS.
