Mixed Local-Nonlocal Vector Schrödinger Equations and Their Breather Solutions

To the best of our knowledge, all nonlinearities in the known nonlinear integrable systems are either local or nonlocal. A natural problem is whether there exist some nonlinear integrable systems with both local and nonlocal nonlinearities, and how to solve this kinds of spectral nonlinear integrable systems with both local and nonlocal nonlinearities. Recently, some novel mixed local-nonlocal vector Schrödinger equations are presented, which are different from the single local and nonlocal coupled Schrödinger equation. We investigate the Darboux transformation of mixed local-nonlocal vector Schrödinger equations with a spectral problem. Starting from a special Lax pairs, the mixed localnonlocal vector Schrödinger equations are constructed. We obtain the one- and two- and N-soliton solution formulas of the mixed local-nonlocal vector Schrödinger equations with N-fold Darboux transformation. Based on the obtained solutions, the propagation and interaction structures of these multi-solitons are shown, the evolution structures of the one-solitons are exhibited, the overtaking elastic interactions among the two-breather solitons are considered. We find that unlike the local and nonlocal cases, the mixed local-nonlocal vector Schrödinger equations have some novel results. The results in this paper might be helpful for understanding some physical phenomena described in plasmas.

Dissipative Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with External Forcing in Rotational Stratified Fluids and Its Solution

The dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a forcing item is derived by using of multiple scales analysis and perturbation method as a mathematical model of describing envelope solitary Rossby waves with dissipation effect and external forcing in rotational stratified fluids. By analyzing the evolution of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves, it is found that the shear of basic flow, Brunt-Vaisala frequency and β effect are important factors in forming the envelope solitary Rossby waves. By employing Jacobi elliptic function expansion method and Hirota's direct method, the analytic solutions of dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation and forced nonlinear Schrödinger equation are derived, respectively. With the help of these solutions, the effects of dissipation and external forcing on the evolution of envelope solitary Rossby wave are also discussed in detail. The results show that dissipation causes slowly decrease of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves and slowly increase of width, while it has no effect on the propagation speed and different types of external forcing can excite the same envelope solitary Rossby waves. It is notable that dissipation and different types of external forcing have certain influence on the carrier frequency of envelope solitary Rossby waves.

A numerical simulation of perturbed DNLSE finally verifies the results of the perturbation method.     

The Solitary Waves for Cubic-Quintic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Variable Coefficients

The cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLS) plays important parts in the optical fiber and the nuclear hydrodynamics. By using the homogeneous balance principle, the bell type, kink type, algebraic solitary waves, and trigonometric traveling waves for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients (vCQNLS) are derived with the aid of a set of subsidiary high-order ordinary differential equations (sub-equations for short). The method used in this paper might help one to derive the exact solutions for the other high-order nonlinear evolution equations, and shows the new application of the homogeneous balance principle.     

Soliton and Rogue Wave Solution of the New Nonautonomous Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

In this paper, a new type (or the second type) of transformation which is used to map the variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger (VCNLS) equation to the usual nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is given. As a special case, a new kind of nonautonomous NLS equation with a t-dependent potential is
introduced. Further, by using the new transformation and making full use of the known soliton and rogue wave solutions of the usual NLS equation, the corresponding kinds of solutions of a special model of the new nonautonomous NLS equation are discussed respectively. Additionally, through using the new transformation, a new expression, i.e., the non-rational formula, of the rogue wave of a special VCNLS equation is given analytically.
The main differences between the two types of transformation mentioned above are listed by three items.     

Lax Pairs and Integrability Conditions of Higher-Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

We derive the Lax pairs and integrability conditions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher-order terms, complex potentials, and time-dependent coefficients. Cubic and quintic nonlinearities together with derivative terms are considered. The Lax pairs and integrability conditions for some of the well-known nonlinear Schrödinger equations, including a new equation which was not considered previously in the literature, are then derived as special cases. We show most clearly with a similarity transformation that the higher-order terms restrict the integrability to linear potential in contrast with quadratic potential for the standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

On Differential Equations Describing 3-Dimensional Hyperbolic Spaces

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a (2+1)-dimensional differential equation describing three-dimensional hyperbolic spaces (3-h.s.). The (2+1)-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation and its sister equation, the (2+1)-dimensional coupled derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation, are shown to describe 3-h.s. The (2+1)-dimensional generalized HF model: S_t={(1/2i)[S,S_y]+2iσS}_x, σ_x=-(1/4i)tr(SS_xS_y), in which S∈[GL_C(2)]/[GL_C(1)×GL_C(1)], provides another example of (2+1)-dimensional differential equations describing 3-h.s. As a direct consequence, the geometric construction of an infinite number of conservation laws of such equations is illustrated. Furthermore we display a new infinite number of conservation laws of the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the (2+1)-dimensional derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation by a geometric way.

Gauge transformations between the standard isospectral nonlinear Schrödinger equations and the conserved Gross–Pitaevskii equations, both scalar and vector cases are derived. Solutions and dynamics are analyzed and illustrated. Some solutions exhibit features of localized-like waves.

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.
