The N-coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation: Riemann-Hilbert problem and multi-soliton solutions

In this work, the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem of the N-coupled high-order nonlinear Schrödinger (N-CHNLS) equations is studied carefully, which controls the propagation of N fields with all high-order effects such as high-order dispersion, self-steepening effect, and Raman scattering in optical fiber. The spectral analysis of the Lax pair associated with a (2N+1)×(2N+1) matrix spectral problem for the N-CHNLS equations is firstly carried out, from which a kind of RH problem is structured. Then a series of multi-soliton solutions including breather, bright, and dark solutions for the N-CHNLS equations can be formulated by the RH problem with the reflection-less case. In addition, with N=4 taken as an example, the propagation behavior of these solutions and their interactions are presented by selecting appropriate parameters with some graphics.

Hirota bilinearization of coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we present the Hirota bilinearization of the coupled Sasa–Satsuma equation. The procedure employed here generates a more general solution than the one reported earlier. We also discuss the soliton solutions of the equation and show that the solutions found earlier are only special cases of the solution discussed here.     

Self-similar solutions for the Schrödinger map equation

We study in this article the equivariant Schrödinger map equation in dimension 2, from the Euclidean plane to the sphere. A family of self-similar solutions is constructed; this provides an example of regularity breakdown for the Schrödinger map. These solutions do not have finite energy, and hence do not fit into the usual framework for solutions. For data of infinite energy but small in some norm, we build up associated global solutions.

On the Painlevé integrability,periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions of generalized coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations

It is proven that generalized coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations possess the Painlevé property for two particular choices of parameters, using the Weiss–Tabor–Carnevale method and Kruskal’s simplification. Abundant families of periodic wave solutions are obtained by using the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method with the assistance of symbolic manipulation system, Maple. It is also shown that these solutions exactly degenerate to bright soliton, dark soliton and mixed dark and bright soliton solutions with physical interests.

In this paper, we consider global solutions for the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation in with and We show that no nontrivial solution can decay faster than the solutions of the free Schrödinger equation, provided that u(0) lies in the weighted Sobolev space in the energy space, namely or in according to the different cases.     

Bright and dark solitons of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation

This paper studies the generalized form of the nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation. The special cases of Kerr law, power law, parabolic law and the dual-power laws are considered. The 1-soliton solution is obtained in all of these four cases. The adiabatic parameter dynamics of the solitons due to perturbation terms are laid down. In addition, the analysis of dark soliton is also carried out. Finally, a few numerical simulations of these equations are given.

Modified scattering for the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

$i{u}_t+\mathrm{\Delta }u=\lambda |u{|}^{\frac{2}{N}}u$

in all dimensions $N\ge 1$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$ and $?\lambda \le 0$. We construct a class of initial values for which the corresponding solution is global and decays as $t\to \infty$, like $t^{?\frac{N}{2}}$ if $?\lambda =0$ and like ${(t\log ?t)}^{?\frac{N}{2}}$ if $?\lambda <0$. Moreover, we give an asymptotic expansion of those solutions as $t\to \infty$. We construct solutions that do not vanish, so as to avoid any issue related to the lack of regularity of the nonlinearity at $u=0$. To study the asymptotic behavior, we apply the pseudo-conformal transformation and estimate the solutions by allowing a certain growth of the Sobolev norms which depends on the order of regularity through a cascade of exponents.     

Solitary wave solutions for high dispersive cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the higher-order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation including fourth-order dispersion effects and a quintic nonlinearity. This equation describes the propagation of femtosecond light pulses in a medium that exhibits a parabolic nonlinearity law. By adopting the ansatz solution of Li et al. [Zhonghao Li, Lu Li, Huiping Tian, Guosheng Zhou. New types of solitary wave solutions for the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Phys Rev Lett 2000;84:4096], we find two different solitary wave solutions under certain parametric conditions. These solutions are in the form of bright and dark soliton solutions.
