Scattering of solitons for coupled wave-particle equations

We establish a long time soliton asymptotics for a nonlinear system of wave equation coupled to a charged particle. The coupled system has a six-dimensional manifold of soliton solutions. We show that in the large time approximation, any solution, with an initial state close to the solitary manifold, is a sum of a soliton and a dispersive wave which is a solution to the free wave equation. It is assumed that the charge density satisfies Wiener condition which is a version of Fermi Golden Rule, and that the momenta of the charge distribution vanish up to the fourth order. The proof is based on a development of the general strategy introduced by Buslaev and Perelman: symplectic projection in Hilbert space onto the solitary manifold, modulation equations for the parameters of the projection, and decay of the transversal component.     

Long-period limit of exact periodic traveling wave solutions for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We study the periodic traveling wave solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS). It is known that DNLS has two types of solitons on the whole line; one has exponential decay and the other has algebraic decay. The latter corresponds to the soliton for the massless case. In the new global results recently obtained by Fukaya, Hayashi and Inui [15], the properties of two-parameter of the solitons are essentially used in the proof, and especially the soliton for the massless case plays an important role. To investigate further properties of the solitons, we construct exact periodic traveling wave solutions which yield the solitons on the whole line including the massless case in the long-period limit. Moreover, we study the regularity of the convergence of these exact solutions in the long-period limit. Throughout the paper, the theory of elliptic functions and elliptic integrals is used in the calculation.     

Existence of the positive composite optical vortices

Optical vortices as topological objects exist ubiquitously in nature. In this paper, we use the principle of variational method and mountain pass lemma to develop some existence theorems for the stationary vortex wave solution of a coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which describe the possibility of effective waveguiding of a weak probe beam via the cross‐phase modulation‐type interaction. The main goal is to obtain a positive solution, of minimal action if possible, with all vector components not identically zero. Additionally, as demanded by beam confinement, we prove the exponential decay of the soliton amplitude at infinity. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Modulational instability and on the existence of rogue wave in electron-ion-positron plasma with kappa distributed electrons

Modulational instability of ion-acoustic wave in an electron-ion-positron plasma is analyzed when the electrons are kappa distributed. Instead of the age old method of reductive perturbation technique we have followed a different methodology put forward by Zakharov, Karpman, Fried and Ichikawa. In this approach the stress is more on physics than the formalism. The nonlinear Schrodinger equation is derived and its two kinds of solution are obtained- Envelope Soliton and Rational Soliton. The stability criteria are established and studied by varying the positron density, temperature and wave number. Over and above we have found both dark- soliton and bright- soliton. An important feature of this method is that we can proceed to the critical case in a much simpler way. It may be added that the rational soliton is not a rogon, but a different form of nonlinear excitation for those values of plasma parameters for which we could test stability.     

Analytical studies of soliton pulses along two-dimensional coupled nonlinear transmission lines

A nonlinear network with many coupled nonlinear LC dispersive transmission lines is considered, each line of the network containing a finite number of cells. In the semi-discrete limit, we apply the reductive perturbation method and show that the wave propagation along the network is governed by a two-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation (2-D NPDE) of Schrödinger type. Two regimes of wave propagation, the high-frequency and the low-frequency are detected. By the means of exact soliton solution of the 2-D NPDE, we investigate analytically the soliton pulse propagation in the network. Our results show that the network under consideration supports the propagation of kink and dark solitons.     

Dynamical understanding of loop soliton solution for several nonlinear wave equations

It has been found that some nonlinear wave equations have one-loop soliton solutions. What is the dynamical behavior of the so-called one-loop soliton solution? To answer this question, the travelling wave solutions for four nonlinear wave equations are discussed. Exact explicit parametric representations of some special travelling wave solutions are given. The results of this paper show that a loop solution consists of three different breaking travelling wave solutions. It is not one real loop soliton travelling wave solution.     

Strongly nonlinear internal soliton load on a small vertical circular cylinder in two-layer fluids

The solutions of MCC theory are used to investigate larger-amplitude strongly nonlinear internal soliton load on a small surface-piercing circular cylinder in two-layer fluids. By comparing the wave profiles and instantaneous horizontal velocities calculated by MCC theory with those of KdV theory and experimental data, we verify the validity of MCC theory for larger-amplitude strongly nonlinear internal soliton. The accelerations are computed, and then force and torque on a small cylinder are estimated based on Morison’s formula for both MCC and KdV theories. Computed results show that the internal soliton force and torque become more and more large and wide with the increase of amplitude for MCC theory. The location of torque crest calculated by MCC theory departs from origin (moving to the right) as the amplitude grows and whenever the inertial term is included or not, the wave forces computed based on the two theories both have small discrepancies for the same amplitude, but when the inertial term is included, the torque obtained by MCC theory will be much larger and the torque obtained by KdV still have a small discrepancy. The reasons are presented in detail. The internal wave force will be underestimated if the traditional KdV theory is used. Therefore, ocean engineers should consider the large-amplitude strongly nonlinear internal soliton load on marine construct carefully.     

Exact traveling discrete kink-soliton solutions for the discrete nonlinear electrical transmission lines

We investigate exact soliton solutions for the discrete nonlinear electrical transmission line by performing the simplest equation method from a trivial seed solution. Starting from the nonlinear propagation of signals in electrical transmission lines, we derive exact traveling kink and antikink solitary wave solutions. It is shown that under a safe range of parameter, the shape of kink soliton can be controlled well by adjusting the parameter of the line. The analytical solutions for the kink and antikink solitary waves are tested in direct simulations.     

Dynamics of Embedded Solitons in the Extended Korteweg–de Vries Equations

Embedded solitons are solitary waves residing inside the continuous spectrum of a wave system. They have been discovered in a wide array of physical situations recently. In this article, we present the first comprehensive theory on the dynamics of embedded solitons and nonlocal solitary waves in the framework of the perturbed fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) hierarchy equation. Our method is based on the development of a soliton perturbation theory. By obtaining the analytical formula for the tail amplitudes of nonlocal solitary waves, we demonstrate the existence of single-hump embedded solitons for both Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian perturbations. These embedded solitons can be isolated (existing at a unique wave speed) or continuous (existing at all wave speeds). Under small wave speed limit, our results show that the tail amplitudes of nonlocal waves are exponentially small, and the product of the amplitude and cosine of the phase is a constant to leading order. This qualitatively reproduces the previous results on the fifth-order KdV equation obtained by exponential asymptotics techniques. We further study the dynamics of embedded solitons and prove that, under Hamiltonian perturbations, a localized wave initially moving faster than the embedded soliton will asymptotically approach this embedded soliton, whereas a localized wave moving slower than the embedded soliton will decay into radiation. Thus, the embedded soliton is semistable. Under non-Hamiltonian perturbations, stable embedded solitons are found for the first time.     

Generalized method and its application in the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation in nonlinear optical fibres

A generalized method, which is called the generally projective Riccati equation method, is presented to find more exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations based upon a coupled Riccati equation. As an application of the method, we choose the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation to illustrate the method. As a result more new exact travelling wave solutions are found which include bright soliton solutions, dark soliton solution, new solitary waves, periodic solutions and rational solutions. The new method can be extended to other nonlinear differential equations in mathematical physics.     

Soliton perturbation theory for nonlinear wave equations

This paper studies the soliton perturbation that are described by three nonlinear wave equations. The adiabatic dynamics of the soliton parameters and the soliton velocity is obtained, in the presence of perturbation terms. The fixed point is also determined in a couple of cases.     

Some new travelling wave solutions with singular or nonsingular character for the higher order wave equation of KdV type (III)

In this paper, the integral bifurcation method was used to study the higher order nonlinear wave equations of KdV type (III), which was first proposed by Fokas. Some new travelling wave solutions with singular or nonsingular character are obtained. In particular, we obtain a peculiar exact solution of parametric type in this paper. This one peculiar exact solution has three kinds of wave-form including solitary wave, cusp wave and loop solion under different wave velocity conditions. This phenomenon has proved that the loop soliton solution is one continuous solution, not three breaking solutions though the loop soliton solution “is not in agreement with the Poincaré phase analysis”.

Elliptic function solutions for some nonlinear pdes in mathematical physics

In this work, we have constructed various types of soliton solutions of the generalized regularized long wave and generalized nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations by the using of the extended trial equation method. Some of the obtained exact traveling wave solutions to these nonlinear problems are the rational function, 1-soliton, singular, the elliptic integral functions $F, E, \Pi$ and the Jacobi elliptic function sn solutions. Also, all of the solutions are compared with the exact solutions in literature, and it is seen that some of the solutions computed in this paper are new wave solutions.

In additon. an ansätze is proposed to obtain stationary soliton solutions of the cubic Schrödinger equation.     

Analytical studies of the steady solution for optical soliton equation with higher-order dispersion and nonlinear effects

The exact analytical solution of the optical soliton equation with higher-order dispersion and nonlinear effects has been obtained by the method of separating variables. The new type of optical solitary wave solution, which is quite different from the bright and dark soliton solutions, has been found under two special cases. The stability of the solitary wave solutions for the optical soliton equation is discussed. Some new conclusion of the stability are obtained, for the solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear wave equations, by using the Liapunov direct method.     

A theoretical description for solitons in polyacetylene

The bond-alternation domain walls or the solitons in the dimerized polyacetylene are analyzed theoretically. The width of the soliton is many times the period of the chain, so that the soliton can be reasonably well described by a continuum model. Because of the existence of the bond-alternation domain walls, the electron density is different definitely. Thus the electron density can be used to describe the formation of the domain walls, and a self-trapped potential is discussed and introduced in the Hamiltonian. It is shown that the envelope of the wave functions of the chain is governed by the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation which has soliton solutions. Then the shape of the soliton is determined analytically which is in accordance with the numerical calculations by Su, Schrieffer and Heeger. This implies that the bond-alternation domain wall or the soliton is observed as the envelope of the wave function.     

Solving the one-loop soliton solution of the Vakhnenko equation by means of the Homotopy analysis method

A powerful, easy-to-use analytic technique for nonlinear problems, namely the Homotopy analysis method, is applied to solve the Vakhnenko equation, a nonlinear equation with loop soliton solutions governing the propagation of high-frequency waves in a relaxing medium. By means of the transformation of independent variables, an analysis one-loop soliton solution expressed by a series of exponential functions is obtained, which agrees well with the exact solution. This indicates the validity and great potential of the Homotopy analysis method in solving complicated solitary wave problems.
