Bilinear Bäcklund transformation,Lax pair and interactions of nonlinear waves for a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in nonlinear optics/fluid mechanics/plasma physics

In this paper, outcomes of the study on the Bäcklund transformation, Lax pair, and interactions of nonlinear waves for a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in nonlinear optics, fluid mechanics, and plasma physics are presented. Via the Hirota bilinear method, a bilinear Bäcklund transformation is obtained, based on which a Lax pair is constructed. Via the symbolic computation, mixed rogue–solitary and rogue–periodic wave solutions are derived. Interactions between the rogue waves and solitary waves, and interactions between the rogue waves and periodic waves, are studied. It is found that (1) the one rogue wave appears between the two solitary waves and then merges with the two solitary waves; (2) the interaction between the one rogue wave and one periodic wave is periodic; and (3) the periodic lump waves with the amplitudes invariant are depicted. Furthermore, effects of the noise perturbations on the obtained solutions will be investigated.

     

Lax pair,conservation laws,and multi-shock wave solutions of the DJKM equation with Bell polynomials and symbolic computation

The integrability and multi-shock wave solutions of the DJKM equation are studied by means of Bell polynomials scheme, Hirota bilinear method, and symbolic computation. A more generalized bilinear system of the DJKM equation is constructed via Bell polynomials scheme. Moreover, Lax pair and infinite conservation laws of this equation are first obtained via its corresponding Bell-polynomials-type Bäcklund transformation. Furthermore, the multi-shock wave solutions are also obtained by applying standard Hirota bilinear method, and the propagation and collision of shock waves are graphically demonstrated by graphs.     

Characterizing JONSWAP rogue waves and their statistics via inverse spectral data

Rogue waves in random sea states modeled by the JONSWAP power spectrum are high amplitude waves arising over non-uniform backgrounds that cannot be viewed as small amplitude modulations of Stokes waves. In the context of Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) models for waves in deep water, this poses the challenge of identifying appropriate analytical solutions for JONSWAP rogue waves, investigating possible mechanisms for their formation, and examining the validity of the NLS models in these more realistic settings. In this work we investigate JONSWAP rogue waves using the inverse spectral theory of the periodic NLS equation for moderate values of the period. For typical JONSWAP initial data, numerical experiments show that the developing sea state is well approximated by the first few dominant modes of the nonlinear spectrum and can be described in terms of a 2- or 3-phase periodic NLS solution. As for the case of uniform backgrounds, proximity to instabilities of the underlying 2-phase solution appears to be the main predictor of rogue wave occurrence, suggesting that the modulational instability of 2-phase solutions of the NLS is a main mechanism for rogue wave formation and that heteroclinic orbits of unstable 2-phase solutions are plausible models of JONSWAP rogue waves. To support this claim, we correlate the maximum wave strength as well as the higher statistical moments with elements of the nonlinear spectrum. The result is a diagnostic tool widely applicable to both model or field data for predicting the likelihood of rogue waves. Finally, we examine the validity of NLS models for JONSWAP data, and show that NLS solutions with JONSWAP initial data are described by non-Gaussian statistics, in agreement with the TOPEX field studies of sea surface height variability.

Revisit of rogue wave solutions in the Yajima–Oikawa system

The general rogue wave solutions for the one-dimensional (1D) Yajima–Oikawa (YO) system are derived through Hirota’s bilinear method and the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy reduction method. Different from the previous work, we improve the construction of the differential operators to save the complicated recursiveness and obtain the rogue wave solutions in a purely algebraic expression. Based on this simple expression, the new shape of the third-order rogue waves’ arrangement is found. Moreover, three types of fundamental rogue waves and the rogue wave patterns from second to fifth order are graphically illustrated. In particular, there exist \(N-1\) (\(2\le N \)) polygonal configurations of Nth-order rogue waves for the 1D YO system, which is proven to be related to the Yablonskii–Vorob’ev polynomial hierarchy.

     

On the integrability and Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions of the Benjamin Ono equation

In this paper, the complete integrability of the Benjamin Ono equation is systematically studied. Its bilinear equation, soliton solutions, bilinear Bäcklund transformation and Lax pair are successfully obtained, by virtue of generalized Bell’s polynomials scheme. Moreover, by using multidimensional Riemann theta functions, the periodic wave solutions of the Benjamin Ono equation are constructed. Further, the asymptotic behaviors of the periodic wave solutions are presented with a limiting procedure, which shows the relations between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions.     

M-lump,rogue waves,breather waves,and interaction solutions among four nonlinear waves to new (3+1)-dimensional Hirota bilinear equation

In this research article, we study a new (3+1)-dimensional Hirota bilinear equation which can describe the dynamics of ion-acoustic wave and Alvin wave of small but finite amplitude in plasma physics and describe the propagation process of nonlinear waves in shallow water. First, we apply two methods to study the equation, namely the Hirota bilinear method and long-wave limit method M-lump solution, and line rogue waves are reported. Furthermore, we investigate the velocity, propagation trajectory, and interaction phenomenon of M-lump solution(M=2,3). Then, based on the multi-solitons, two cases of high-order breather solution are constructed by selecting some special parameters. Finally, four types interaction solutions are successfully obtained by employing long-wave limit method and selecting some special parameters. More importantly, we explore physical collision phenomenon of the interaction between nonlinear waves. In order to better illustrate the characteristics of the interaction solutions, the results are shown in three-dimensional plots and numerical simulation. To our knowledge, all of the obtained solutions in this article are novel. The results of this article may be provide an important theoretical basis for explaining some nonlinear phenomena in the field of fluid mechanics and shallow water.

     

Generalized Darboux transformation and localized waves in coupled Hirota equations

In this paper, we construct a generalized Darboux transformation to the coupled Hirota equations with high-order nonlinear effects like the third dispersion, self-steepening and inelastic Raman scattering terms. As application, an N$N$th-order localized wave solution on the plane backgrounds with the same spectral parameter is derived through the direct iterative rule. In particular, some semi-rational, multi-parametric localized wave solutions are obtained: (1) vector generalization of the first- and the second-order rogue wave solutions; (2) interactional solutions between a dark–bright soliton and a rogue wave, two dark–bright solitons and a second-order rogue wave; (3) interactional solutions between a breather and a rogue wave, two breathers and a second-order rogue wave. The results further reveal the striking dynamic structures of localized waves in complex coupled systems.     

On different aspects of the optical rogue waves nature

Rogue waves are giant nonlinear waves that suddenly appear and disappear in oceans and optics. We discuss the facts and fictions related to their strange nature, dynamic generation, ingrained instability, and potential applications. We present rogue wave solutions to the standard cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation that models many propagation phenomena in nonlinear optics. We propose the method of mode pruning for suppressing the modulation instability of rogue waves. We demonstrate how to produce stable Talbot carpets—recurrent images of light and plasma waves—by rogue waves, for possible use in nanolithography. We point to instances when rogue waves appear as numerical artefacts, due to an inadequate numerical treatment of modulation instability and homoclinic chaos of rogue waves. Finally, we display how statistical analysis based on different numerical procedures can lead to misleading conclusions on the nature of rogue waves.

Exact solutions and Painlevé analysis of a new (2+1)-dimensional generalized KdV equation

The new (2+1)-dimensional generalized KdV equation which exists the bilinear form is mainly discussed. We prove that the equation does not admit the Painlevé property even by taking the arbitrary constant a=0. However, this result is different from Radha and Lakshmanan??s work. In addition, based on Hirota bilinear method, periodic wave solutions in terms of Riemann theta function and rational solutions are derived, respectively. The asymptotic properties of the periodic wave solutions are analyzed in detail.     

Existence of multidimensional traveling waves in the transport of reactive solutes through periodic porous media

We prove the existence of multidimensional traveling-wave solutions to the scalar equation for the transport of solutes (contaminants) with nonlinear adsorption and spatially periodic convection-diffusion-adsorption coefficients under the assumption that the nonlinear adsorption function satisfies the Lax and Oleinik entropy conditions. In the nondegenerate case, we also prove the uniqueness of the traveling waves. These traveling waves are analogues of viscous shock profiles. They propagate with effective speeds that depend on the periodic porous media only up to their mean states, and are given by an averaged Rankine-Hugoniot relation. This is a direct consequence of the fact that the transport equation is in conservation form. We use the sliding domain method, the continuation method, spectral theory, maximum principles, and a priori estimates. In the degenerate case, the traveling waves are weak solutions of a degenerate parabolic equation and are only Holder continuous. We obtain them by taking suitable limits on the non-degenerate traveling waves. The uniqueness of the degenerate traveling waves is open.     

Physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon

A review of physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon is given. The data of marine observations as well as laboratory experiments are briefly discussed. They demonstrate that freak waves may appear in deep and shallow waters. Simple statistical analysis of the rogue wave probability based on the assumption of a Gaussian wave field is reproduced. In the context of water wave theories the probabilistic approach shows that numerical simulations of freak waves should be made for very long times on large spatial domains and large number of realizations. As linear models of freak waves the following mechanisms are considered: dispersion enhancement of transient wave groups, geometrical focusing in basins of variable depth, and wave-current interaction. Taking into account nonlinearity of the water waves, these mechanisms remain valid but should be modified. Also, the influence of the nonlinear modulational instability (Benjamin–Feir instability) on the rogue wave occurence is discussed. Specific numerical simulations were performed in the framework of classical nonlinear evolution equations: the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the Davey–Stewartson system, the Korteweg–de Vries equation, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, the Zakharov equation, and the fully nonlinear potential equations. Their results show the main features of the physical mechanisms of rogue wave phenomenon.     

Extreme wave solutions: Parametric studies and wavelet analysis

Wave fields for near homoclinic, single mode rogue-wave solutions of the periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation are presented. Parameters of candidate solutions are estimated and refined through an eigenvalue solution procedure. An overview of the estimation and refining procedure used by the authors is provided. Solutions are scaled to facilitate experimental implementation. The continuous wavelet transform is used to carry out time–frequency analyses and the results obtained are demonstrative of the dispersion relation as well as the time varying side band energy transfer associated with the Benjamin–Feir instability. The analysis framework and approach used are validated with the Peregrine solution. Other extreme wave solutions are analyzed as well. The framework presented here could serve as a basis for experimental investigations into single mode rogue waves as well as other localizations in wave fields.

Nonlinear travelling waves in a hyperelastic rod composed of a compressible Mooney-Rivlin material

In this paper, we study strongly nonlinear axisymmetric waves in a circular cylindrical rod composed of a compressible Mooney-Rivlin material. To consider the travelling wave solutions for the governing partial differential system, we first reduce it to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. By using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, we show that the reduced system has seven periodic annuluses with different boundaries which depend on four parameters. We further consider the bifurcation behavior of the phase portraits for the reduced one-parameter vector fields when other three parameters are fixed. Corresponding to seven different periodic annuluses, we obtain seven types of travelling wave solutions, including solitary waves of radial contraction, solitary waves of radial expansion, solitary shock waves of radial contraction, solitary shock waves of radial expansion, periodic waves and two types of periodic shock waves. These are physically acceptable solutions by the governing partial differential system. The rigorous parameter conditions for the existence of these waves are given.     

Turbulence and shock-waves in crowd dynamics

In this paper, we analyze crowd turbulence from both classical and quantum perspective. We analyze various crowd waves and a collision using crowd macroscopic wave functions. In particular, we will show that nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is fundamental for quantum turbulence, while its closed-form solutions include shock-waves, solitons, and rogue waves, as well as planar de Broglie’s waves. We start by modeling various crowd flows using classical fluid dynamics, based on Navier–Stokes equations. Then we model turbulent crowd flows using quantum turbulence in Bose–Einstein condensation, based on modified NLS equation.     

Nonlinear tunneling for controllable rogue waves in two dimensional graded-index waveguides

With the help of the similarity transformation connected the variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we firstly obtain first-order and second-order rogue wave solutions in two dimensional graded-index waveguides. Then, we investigate the nonlinear tunneling of controllable rogue waves when they pass through nonlinear barrier and nonlinear well. Our results indicate that the propagation behaviors of rogue waves, such as postpone, sustainment and restraint, can be manipulated by choosing the relation between the maximum value of the effective propagation distance Z _m and the effective propagation distance corresponding to maximum amplitude of rogue waves Z ₀. Postponed, sustained and restrained rogue waves can tunnel through the nonlinear barrier or well with increasing, unchanged and decreasing amplitudes by modulating the ratio of the amplitudes of rogue waves to barrier or well height.
