Incoherently coupled soliton pairs in nonlocal nonlinear media

We show that incoherently coupled soliton pairs can exist in nonlocal Kerr-type nonlinear media. Such solitons can propagate in bright--bright, dark--dark, and gray--gray configurations. When the nonlocal nonlinearity is absent, these bright--bright and dark--dark soliton pairs are those observed previously in local Kerr-type nonlinear media. Our analysis indicates that for a self-focusing nonlinearity the intensity full width half maximum (FWHM) of the bright--bright pair components increases with the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear response, whereas for a self-defocusing nonlinearity the intensity FWHM of the dark--dark and gray--gray pair components decreases with the increase in the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear response. The stability of these soliton pairs has been investigated numerically and it has been found that they are stable.     

Dark Solitons for the Defocusing Cubic Nonlinear Schr?dinger Equation with the Spatially Periodic Potential and Nonlinearity

We study the existence of dark solitons of the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schr¨odinger(NLS) eqaution with the spatially-periodic potential and nonlinearity. Firstly, we propose six families of upper and lower solutions of the dynamical systems arising from the stationary defocusing NLS equation. Secondly, by regarding a dark soliton as a heteroclinic orbit of the Poincar′e map, we present some constraint conditions for the periodic potential and nonlinearity to show the existence of stationary dark solitons of the defocusing NLS equation for six different cases in terms of the theory of strict lower and upper solutions and the dynamics of planar homeomorphisms. Finally, we give the explicit dark solitons of the defocusing NLS equation with the chosen periodic potential and nonlinearity.     

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.

Exact solitary wave solutions of a nonlinear Schrdinger equation model with saturable-like nonlinearities governing modulated waves in a discrete electrical lattice

In this paper, we introduce and propose exact and explicit analytical solutions to a novel model of the nonlinear Schr¨odinger(NLS) equation. This model is derived as the equation governing the dynamics of modulated cutoff waves in a discrete nonlinear electrical lattice. It is characterized by the addition of two terms that involve time derivatives to the classical equation. Through those terms, our model is also tantamount to a generalized NLS equation with saturable;which suggests that the discrete electrical transmission lines can potentially be used to experimentally investigate wave propagation in media that are modeled by such type of nonlinearity. We demonstrate that the new terms can enlarge considerably the forms of the solutions as compared to similar NLS-type equations. Sine–Gordon expansion-method is used to derive numerous kink, antikink, dark, and bright soliton solutions.     

Quintic Nonlinearity Induced Solitary Waves in Plasma Physics

The quintic nonlinearity is important in the study of the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir waves and electrons in plasma.Using the pseudoenergy approach,five types of solitary wave solution are obtained explicitly. Only one of these is the modification of the soliton of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation and can be treated perturbatively.However,other four types of solitary wave solution are all induced by the quintic nonlinearity and cannot be treated perturbatively from the solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation.     

Extended symmetry transformation of (3+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, the extended symmetry transformation of (3+1)-dimensional (3D) generalized nonlinear Schrdinger (NLS) equations with variable coefficients is investigated by using the extended symmetry approach and symbolic computation. Then based on the extended symmetry, some 3D variable coefficient NLS equations are reduced to other variable coefficient NLS equations or the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation. By using these symmetry transformations, abundant exact solutions of some 3D NLS equations with distributed dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or loss are obtained from the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation.     

Soliton and rogue wave solutions of two-component nonlinear Schr?dinger equation coupled to the Boussinesq equation

The nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS) equation and Boussinesq equation are two very important integrable equations.They have widely physical applications. In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear system, which is the two-component NLS equation coupled to the Boussinesq equation. We obtain the bright–bright, bright–dark, and dark–dark soliton solutions to the nonlinear system. We discuss the collision between two solitons. We observe that the collision of bright–bright soliton is inelastic and two solitons oscillating periodically can happen in the two parallel-traveling bright–bright or bright–dark soliton solution. The general breather and rogue wave solutions are also given. Our results show again that there are more abundant dynamical properties for multi-component nonlinear systems.     

LoLocalized Spatial Soliton Excitations in(2+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Schrdinger Equation with Variable Nonlinearity and an External Potential

We report on the localized spatial soliton excitations in the multidimensional nonlinear Schrdinger equation with radially variable nonlinearity coefficient and an external potential.By using Hirota's binary differential operators,we determine a variety of external potentials and nonlinearity coefficients that can support nonlinear localized solutions of different but desired forms.For some specific external potentials and nonlinearity coefficients,we discuss features of the corresponding(2+1)-dimensional multisolitonic solutions,including ring solitons,lump solitons,and soliton clusters.     

Exact chirped multi-soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schr(o|¨)dinger equation with varying coefficients

In this letter, exact chirped multi-soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with varying coefficients are found. The explicit chirped one- and two-soliton solutions are generated. As an example, an exponential distributed control system is considered, and some main features of solutions are shown. The results reveal that chirped soliton can all be nonlinearly compressed cleanly and efficiently in an optical fiber with no loss or gain, with the loss, or with the gain. Furthermore, under the same initial condition, compression of optical soliton in the optical fiber with the loss is the most dramatic. Also, under nonintegrable condition and finite initial perturbations, the evolution of chirped soliton has been demonstrated by simulating numerically.
