Soliton interactions and asymptotic state analysis in a discrete nonlocal nonlinear self-dual network equation of reverse-space type

We propose a reverse-space nonlocal nonlinear self-dual network equation under special symmetry reduction,which may have potential applications in electric circuits.Nonlocal infinitely many conservation laws are constructed based on its Lax pair.Nonlocal discrete generalized(m,N?m)-fold Darboux transformation is extended and applied to solve this system.As an application of the method,we obtain multi-soliton solutions in zero seed background via the nonlocal discrete N-fold Darboux transformation and rational solutions from nonzero-seed background via the nonlocal discrete generalized(1,N?1)-fold Darboux transformation,respectively.By using the asymptotic and graphic analysis,structures of one-,two-,three-and four-soliton solutions are shown and discussed graphically.We find that single component field in this nonlocal system displays unstable soliton structure whereas the combined potential terms exhibit stable soliton structures.It is shown that the soliton structures are quite different between discrete local and nonlocal systems.Results given in this paper may be helpful for understanding the electrical signals propagation.     

Nonlocal Nonlinear Schrödinger System with Shifted Parity and Delayed Time Reversal Symmetries

A special integrable nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation, NNLS, or namely Alice-Bob NLS (ABNLS) equation is investigated. By means of the general N-th Darboux transformation, one can get various interesting solutions to display different types of structures especially for solitons. By using the Darboux transformation, its soliton solutions are obtained. Finally, by adjusting the values of free parameters, different kinds of solutions such as kinks, complexitons and rogue-wave solutions are explicitly exhibited. It is found that these solutions are quite different from the ones of the classical NLS equation.     

Bounded multi-soliton solutions and their asymptotic analysis for the reversal-time nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we construct the Darboux transformation (DT) for the reverse-time integrable nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation by loop group method. Then we utilize the DT to derive soliton solutions with zero seed. We investigate the dynamical properties for those solutions and present a sufficient condition for the non-singularity of multi-soliton solutions. Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis of bounded multi-solutions has also been established by the determinant formula.     

Dynamical Behavior of Solution in Integrable Nonlocal Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel Equation

The integrable nonlocal Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel (LPD) equation which has the higher-order terms (dispersions and nonlinear effects) is first introduced. We demonstrate the integrability of the nonlocal LPD equation, provide its Lax pair, and present its rational soliton solutions and self-potential function by using the degenerate Darboux transformation. From the numerical plots of solutions, the compression effects of the real refractive index profile and the gain-or-loss distribution produced by are discussed.     

A discrete KdV equation hierarchy: continuous limit,diverse exact solutions and their asymptotic state analysis

In this paper, a discrete KdV equation that is related to the famous continuous KdV equation is studied. First, an integrable discrete KdV hierarchy is constructed, from which several new discrete KdV equations are obtained. Second, we correspond the first several discrete equations of this hierarchy to the continuous KdV equation through the continuous limit. Third, the generalized (m, 2N − m)-fold Darboux transformation of the discrete KdV equation is established based on its known Lax pair. Finally, the diverse exact solutions including soliton solutions, rational solutions and mixed solutions on non-zero seed background are obtained by applying the resulting Darboux transformation, and their asymptotic states and physical properties such as amplitude, velocity, phase and energy are analyzed. At the same time, some soliton solutions are numerically simulated to show their dynamic behaviors. The properties and results obtained in this paper may be helpful to understand some physical phenomena described by KdV equations.     

Multisoliton solutions with even numbers and its generated solutions for nonlocal Fokas-Lenells equation

In this letter, we investigate multisoliton solutions with even numbers and its generated solutions for nonlocal Fokas-Lenells equation over a nonzero background. First, we obtain 2n-soliton solutions with a nonzero background via n-fold Darboux transformation, and find that these soliton solutions will appear in pairs. Particularly, 2n-soliton solutions consist of n ‘bright' solitons and n ‘dark' solitons. This phenomenon implies a new form of integrability: even integrability. Then interactions between solitons with even numbers and breathers are studied in detail. To our best knowledge, a novel nonlinear superposition between a kink and 2n-soliton is also generated for the first time. Finally, interactions between some different smooth positons with a nonzero background are derived.

A Hierarchy of Nonlinear Lattice Soliton Equations and Its Darboux Transformation

A hierarchy of nonlinear lattice soliton equations is derived from a new discrete spectral problem. The Hamiltonian structure of the resulting hierarchy is constructed by using a trace identity formula. Moreover, a Darboux transformation is established with the help of gauge transformations of Lax pairs for the typical lattice soliton equations. The exact solutions are given by applying the Darboux transformation.     

Formation mechanism of asymmetric breather and rogue waves in pair-transition-coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations

Based on the developed Darboux transformation, we investigate the exact asymmetric solutions of breather and rogue waves in pair-transition-coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations. As an example, some types of exact breather solutions are given analytically by adjusting the parameters. Moreover, the interesting fundamental problem is to clarify the formation mechanism of asymmetry breather solutions and how the particle number and energy exchange between the background and soliton ultimately form the breather solutions. Our results also show that the formation mechanism from breather to rogue wave arises from the transformation from the periodic total exchange into the temporal local property.     

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.

In this paper, we construct the rogue wave solutions of the sixth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a background of Jacobian elliptic functions dn and cn by means of the nonlinearization of a spectral problem and Darboux transformation approach. The solutions we find present the dynamic phenomena of higher-order nonlinear wave equations.     

Localized waves in three-component coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equation

We study the generalized Darboux transformation to the three-component coupled nonlinear Schr ¨odinger equation.First-and second-order localized waves are obtained by this technique.In first-order localized wave,we get the interactional solutions between first-order rogue wave and one-dark,one-bright soliton respectively.Meanwhile,the interactional solutions between one-breather and first-order rogue wave are also given.In second-order localized wave,one-dark-one-bright soliton together with second-order rogue wave is presented in the first component,and two-bright soliton together with second-order rogue wave are gained respectively in the other two components.Besides,we observe second-order rogue wave together with one-breather in three components.Moreover,by increasing the absolute values of two free parameters,the nonlinear waves merge with each other distinctly.These results further reveal the interesting dynamic structures of localized waves in the three-component coupled system.     

Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy and its asymptotic property

In this Letter, the Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy is constructed. We show that the Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy is not an auto-Bäcklund transformation, because the integral constants of the hierarchy will be changed after the transformation. The transform rule of the integral constants will be also derived. By this means, the soliton solutions of the nonlinear equations derived by the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy can be found.     

Stabilised bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates in an expulsive parabolic and complex potential

The exact solitonic solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schr?dinger equation, which describes the dynamics of bright soliton in Bose—Einstein condensates with the time-dependent interaction in an expulsive parabolic and complex potential, are obtained by Darboux transformation. The results show that one can compress a bright soliton into an assumed peak of matter wave density by adusting the experimental parameter of the ratio of axial oscillation to radial oscillation or feeding parameter. Especially,when parameters satisfy the relation λ=2γ, the soliton is stable with time evolution without changing its shape and amplitude.     

An improved Hirota bilinear method and new application for a nonlocal integrable complex modified Korteweg-de Vries (MKdV) equation

The Hirota bilinear method has been studied in a lot of local equations, but there are few of works to solve nonlocal equations by Hirota bilinear method. In this letter, we show that the nonlocal integrable complex modified Korteweg-de Vries (MKdV) equation admits multiple complex soliton solutions. A variety of exact solutions including the single bright soliton solutions and two bright soliton solutions are derived via constructing an improved Hirota bilinear method for nonlocal complex MKdV equation. From the gauge equivalence, we can see the difference between the solution of nonlocal integrable complex MKdV equation and the solution of local complex MKdV equation.     

Breather‐to‐soliton transitions and nonlinear wave interactions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the sextic operators in optical fibers

We find that the sextic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation admits breather‐to‐soliton transitions. With the Darboux transformation, analytic breather solutions with imaginary eigenvalues up to the second order are explicitly presented. The condition for breather‐to‐soliton transitions is explicitly presented and several examples of transitions are shown. Interestingly, we show that the sextic NLS equation admits not only the breather‐to‐bright‐soliton transitions but also the breather‐to‐dark‐soliton transitions. We also show the interactions between two solitons on the constant backgrounds, as well as between breather and soliton.     

Soliton dynamics and elastic collisions in a spin chain with an external time-dependent magnetic field

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a Heisenberg spin chain with an external time-oscillating magnetic field. Such dynamics can be described by a Landau–Lifshitz-type equation. We apply the Darboux transformation method to the linear eigenvalue problem associated with this equation, and obtain the multi-soliton solution with a purely algebraic iterative procedure. Through the analytical analysis and graphical illustrations for the solutions obtained, we discuss in detail the effects of an external magnetic field on the nonlinear wave. Under the action of an external field, although the amplitude, width and depth of soliton vary periodically with time and its symmetry property is changeable, the soliton can also propagate stably and it possesses particle-like behavior.     

Darboux transformation and soliton solutions of a nonlocal Hirota equation

Starting from local coupled Hirota equations,we provide a reverse space-time nonlocal Hirota equation by the symmetry reduction method known as the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur scattering problem.The Lax integrability of the nonlocal Hirota equation is also guaranteed by existence of the Lax pair.By Lax pair,an n-fold Darboux transformation is constructed for the nonlocal Hirota equation by which some types of exact solutions are found.The solutions with specific properties are distinct from those of the local Hirota equation.In order to further describe the properties and the dynamic features of the solutions explicitly,several kinds of graphs are depicted.     

Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and Akhmediev breather of higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation

In terms of Darboux transformation, we have exactly solved the higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation that describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in optical fibers. We discuss the modulation instability(MI) process in detail and find that the higher-order term has no effect on the MI condition. Under different conditions, we obtain Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and Akhmediev breather solutions of higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation. The former describes the propagation of a bright pulse on a continuous wave background in the presence of higher-order effects and the soliton's peak position is shifted owing to the presence of a nonvanishing background, while the latter implies the modulation instability process that can be used in practice to produce a train of ultrashort optical soliton pulses.

A Daorboux transformation for the generalized DSW equation is constructed with the help of the gauge transformation between spectral problems, from which a Darboux transformation for the DSW equation is obtained through a reduction technique. As an application of the Darboux transformations, we give some explicit solutions of the generalized DSW equation and DEW equation such as rational solutions, soliton solutions, periodic solutions.
