Breathers and solitons for the coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger system in three-spine α-helical protein

We mainly investigate the variable-coefficient 3-coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS) system, which describes soliton dynamics in the three-spine α-helical protein with inhomogeneous effect. The variable-coefficient NLS equation is transformed into the constant coefficient NLS equation by similarity transformation firstly. The Hirota method is used to solve the constant coefficient NLS equation, and then we get the one-and two-breather solutions of the variable-coefficient NLS equation. The results show that, in the background of plane waves and periodic waves, the breather can be transformed into some forms of combined soliton solutions. The influence of different parameters on the soliton solution and the collision between two solitons are discussed by some graphs in detail. Our results are helpful to study the soliton dynamics inα-helical protein.     

The Hamiltonian dynamics of the soliton of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Hamiltonian equations are formulated in terms of collective variables describing the dynamics of the soliton of an integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a 1D lattice. Earlier, similar equations of motion were suggested for the soliton of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in partial derivatives. The operator of soliton momentum in a discrete chain is defined; this operator is unambiguously related to the velocity of the center of gravity of the soliton. The resulting Hamiltonian equations are similar to those for the continuous nonlinear Schrödinger equation, but the role of the field momentum is played by the summed quasi-momentum of virtual elementary system excitations related to the soliton.     

Stationary States for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Periodic Potentials

In this paper we consider a one-dimensional non-linear Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential. In the semiclassical limit we prove the existence of stationary solutions by means of the reduction of the non-linear Schrödinger equation to a discrete non-linear Schrödinger equation. In particular, in the limit of large nonlinearity strength the stationary solutions turn out to be localized on a single lattice site of the periodic potential. A connection of these results with the Mott insulator phase for Bose–Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional periodic lattice is also discussed.     

Self-similar potentials and Ising models

A new link between soliton solutions of integrable nonlinear equations and one-dimensional Ising models is established. Translational invariance of the spin lattice associated with the KdV equation is related to self-similar potentials of the Schrödinger equation. This gives antiferromagnets with exponentially decaying interaction between the spins. The partition function is calculated exactly for a uniform magnetic field and two discrete values of the temperature.     

用不变本征算符法求晶面吸附原子的振动模

晶体表面的扩散和缺陷对晶体振动模式的影响是表面物理学研究的一个重要和基本的课题.晶格振动的频率对应于系统的能带.由于晶格中原子的振动不是孤立的,并且晶格具有周期性,所以在晶体中形成格波.格波代表晶体中所有原子都参与的频率相同的振动,又常称为一种振动模.本文讨论在表面吸附位势系数β_0与晶体内部原子的周期位势系数β不同的情况下,晶体表面吸附一个质量为m_0(与晶格原子质量m不同)的原子以后晶格的振动模.采用不变本征算符方法,严格地导出此振动模为ω=((2β(1-coshα))/(hm))~(1/2),其中α=ln[-(mβ_0+m_0(-2β+β_0)+(β_0)~(1/2)((-4mm_0β+(m+m_0)~2β_0))~(1/2)/2m_0β].此结果表明,ω不但取决于吸附位势与吸附原子的质量,也与晶格原子的质量与内位势有关.     

Nonlinear theory of transverse perturbations of quasi-one-dimensional solitons

An averaged variational principle is applied to analyze the nonlinear effect of transverse perturbations (including diffraction) on quasi-one-dimensional soliton propagation governed by various wave equations. It is shown that parameters of the spatiotemporal solitons described by the cubic Schrödinger equation and the Yajima-Oikawa model of interaction between long-and short-wavelength waves satisfy the spatial quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for a complex-valued function composed of the amplitude and eikonal of the soliton. Three-dimensional solutions are found for two-component “bullets” having long-and short-wavelength components. Vortex and hole-vortex structures are found for envelope solitons and for two-component solitons in the regime of resonant long/short-wave coupling. Weakly nonlinear behavior of transverse perturbations of one-dimensional soliton solutions in a self-defocusing medium is described by the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. The corresponding rationally localized “lump” solutions can be considered as secondary solitons propagating along the phase fronts of the primary solitons. This conclusion holds for primary solitons described by a broad class of nonlinear wave equations.     

Stability of gap solitons in the presence of a weak nonlocality in periodic potentials

In this work, we study the stability and internal modes of one-dimensional gap solitons employing the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a sinusoidal potential together with the presence of a weak nonlocality. Using an analytical theory, it is proved that two soliton families bifurcate out from every Bloch-band edge under self-focusing or self-defocusing nonlinearity, and one of these is always unstable. Also we study the oscillatory instabilities and internal modes of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

Nonlinear Schrödinger equation for optical media with quintic nonlinearity

A nonlinear quintic Schrödinger equation (NLQSE) is developed and studied in detail. It is found that the NLQSE has soliton solutions, the stability of which is analysed using variational method. It is also found that the soliton pulse width in the materials supporting NLQSE is small compared to soliton pulse width of the commonly studied nonlinear cubic Schrödinger equation (NLCSE).     

Comments on employing the Riesz-Feller derivative in the Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we deal with a fractional Schrödinger equation that contains the quantum Riesz-Feller derivative instead of the Laplace operator in the case of a particle moving in a potential field. In particular, this equation is solved for a free particle in terms of the Fox H-function. On the other hand, we show that from physical viewpoint, the fractional Schrödinger equation with the quantum Riesz-Feller derivative of order α, 0 < α ≤ 2 and skewness θ makes sense only if it reduces to the Laplace operator (α = 2) or to the quantum Riesz fractional derivative (θ = 0). The reason is that the quantum Riesz-Feller derivative is a Hermitian operator and possesses real eigenvalues only when α = 2 or θ = 0. We then focus on the time-independent one-dimensional fractional Schrödinger equation with the quantum Riesz derivative in the case of a particle moving in an infinite potential well. In particular, we show that the explicit formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the time-independent fractional Schrödinger equation that some authors recently claimed to receive cannot be valid. The problem to find right formulas is still open.     

An exact (2 + 1)-dimensional optical soliton with spatially modulated nonlinearity and an external potential

An exact (2 + 1)-dimensional spatial optical soliton of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a spatially modulated nonlinearity and a special external potential is discovered in an inhomogeneous nonlinear medium, by utilizing the similarity transformation. Exact analytical solutions are constructed by the products of Whittaker functions and the bright and dark soliton solutions of the standard stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Some examples of such composed solutions are given, in which these spatial solitons display different localized structures. Numerical calculation shows that the soliton is stable in propagating over long distances, thus also confirming the validity of the exact solution.     

Two-dimensional dark soliton in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Two-dimensional gray solitons to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are numerically created by two processes to show its robustness. One is transverse instability of a one-dimensional gray soliton, and another is a pair annihilation of a vortex and an antivortex. The two-dimensional dark solitons are anisotropic and propagate in a certain direction. The two-dimensional dark soliton is stable against the head-on collision. The effective mass of the two-dimensional dark soliton is evaluated from the motion in a harmonic potential.

Dispersionless envelope lattice solitons on a D-dimensional nonlinear lattice

We show by using the real exponential approach that the d-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation has more general dispersionless envelope lattice soliton solutions than the known bright soliton and kink solutions. Depending on the values of the parameters, the new solutions can describe both bright and dark lattice solitons. Especially, we find novel “W”-like envelope lattice solitons.     

Numerical simulation of propagation of a femtosecond optical soliton in a single-mode fiber with allowance for the imaginary part of Raman response

We consider the effect of Raman inertial response of a medium on the stability of a first-order femtosecond soliton. Numerical solution to the high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with the complex Raman term, describing propagation of a femtosecond optical soliton in a single-mode fiber, is obtained. It is shown that a soliton solution of the high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation exists under certain conditions imposed on the equation coefficients. These conditions lead to limitations on the wavelength, fiber type, and the highest energy. Results of numerical solutions are in agreement with available experimental data.     

On Darboux transformations for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider Darboux transformations for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. A new theorem for Darboux transformations of operators with no derivative term are presented and proved. The solution is expressed in quasideterminant forms. Additionally, the parabolic and soliton solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation are given as explicit examples.     

1D Solitons in Saturable Nonlinear Media with Space Fractional Derivatives

Two decades ago, standard quantum mechanics entered into a new territory called space-fractional quantum mechanics, in which wave dynamics and effects are described by the fractional Schrödinger equation. Such territory is now a key and hot topic in diverse branches of physics, particularly in optics driven by the recent theoretical proposal for emulating the fractional Schrödinger equation. However, the light-wave propagation in saturable nonlinear media with space fractional derivatives is yet to be clearly disclosed. Here, such nonlinear optics phenomenon is theoretically investigated based on the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with nonlinear lattices—periodic distributions of either focusing cubic (Kerr) or quintic saturable nonlinearities—and the existence and evolution of localized wave structures allowed by the model are addressed. The model upholds two kinds of one-dimensional soliton families, including fundamental solitons (single peak) and higher-order solitonic structures consisting of two-hump solitons (in-phase) and dipole ones (anti-phase). Notably, the dipole solitons can be robust stable physical objects localized merely within a single well of the nonlinear lattices—previously thought impossible. Linear-stability analysis and direct simulations are executed for both soliton families, and their stability regions are acquired. The predicted solutions can be readily observed in optical experiments and beyond.     

Quantitative analysis of soliton interactions based on the exact solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We make a quantitative study on the soliton interactions in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and its variable-coefficient (vc) counterpart. For the regular two-soliton and double-pole solutions of the NLSE, we employ the asymptotic analysis method to obtain the expressions of asymptotic solitons, and analyze the interaction properties based on the soliton physical quantities (especially the soliton accelerations and interaction forces); whereas for the bounded two-soliton solution, we numerically calculate the soliton center positions and accelerations, and discuss the soliton interaction scenarios in three typical bounded cases. Via some variable transformations, we also obtain the inhomogeneous regular two-soliton and double-pole solutions for the vcNLSE with an integrable condition. Based on the expressions of asymptotic solitons, we quantitatively study the two-soliton interactions with some inhomogeneous dispersion profiles, particularly discuss the influence of the variable dispersion function f(t) on the soliton interaction dynamics.     

A Nonrelativistic Chiral Soliton in One Dimension

Abstract

I analyze the one-dimensional, cubic Schrödinger equation with a nonlinearity constructed from the current density rather than, as is usual, from the charge density. A soliton solution is found, where the soliton moves only in one direction. Relation to the higher-dimensional Chern–Simons theory is indicated. The theory is quantized and results for the two-body quantum problem agree at weak coupling with those coming from a semiclassical quantization of the soliton.     

On nonlinear effects in magnetic chains

The effect of phonon unharmonism and nonlinearity in exchange integrals on soliton excitations in ferromagnetic chains in the classical and long-wave limit are studied. It has been first shown that the unharmonic effect leads to a system of coupled Boussinesque and nonlinear Schrödinger equations allowing two types of soliton solutions. The nonlinear effect on the other hand results nonlinear Schrödinger equation with saturable nonlinearity admitting stable solitons in higher dimensional models.
