Nonlinear theory of electrostatic baryonic waves in ambiplasma

A collisionless nonmagnetized ambiplasma consisting of Maxwellian gases of protons, antiprotons, electrons, and positrons is considered. The dispersion relation for electrostatic baryonic waves is derived and analyzed and exact expressions for the linear wave phase velocities are obtained. Two types of such waves are shown to be possible in ambiplasma: acoustic and plasma ones. Analysis of the dispersion relation has allowed the ranges of parameters in which nonlinear solutions should be sought in the form of solitons to be found. A nonlinear theory of baryonic waves is developed and used to obtain and analyze the exact solution to the basic equations. The analysis is performed by the method of a fictitious potential. The ranges of phase velocities of periodic baryonic waves and soliton velocities (Mach numbers) are determined. It is shown that in the plasma under consideration, these ranges do not overlap and that the soliton velocity cannot be lower than the linear velocity of the corresponding wave. The profiles of physical quantities in a periodic wave and a soliton (wave scores) are plotted.     

Nonlinear analysis of traffic flow on a gradient highway

We investigate the slope effects upon traffic flow on a single lane gradient (uphill/downhill) highway analytically and numerically. The stability condition, neutral stability condition and instability condition are obtained by the use of linear stability theory. It is found that stability of traffic flow on the gradient varies with the slopes. The Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equations are derived to describe the triangular shock waves, soliton waves and kink-antikink waves in the stable, meta-stable and unstable region respectively. A series of simulations are carried out to reproduce the triangular shock waves, kink-antikink waves and soliton waves. Results show that amplitudes of the triangular shock waves and kink-antikink waves vary with the slopes, the soliton wave appears in an upward form when the average headway is less than the safety distance and a downward form when the average headway is more than the safety distance. Moreover both the kink-antikink waves and the solitary waves propagate backwards. The numerical simulation shows a good agreement with the analytical result.     

Dissipative longitudinal solitons in a two-dimensional strongly coupled complex (dusty) plasma

Solitary waves are experimentally studied in a monolayer hexagonal dust lattice which is formed from monodisperse plastic microspheres and levitated in the sheath of an rf discharge. It is found that the product of the soliton amplitude and the square of the soliton width is constant as the soliton propagates. The analytical theory describing the experiment is based on the equations of motion written for a linear chain. It takes into account damping, dispersion, and nonlinearity. The numerical simulation of a linear chain produces double solitons like those observed in the experiment.     

Bright‐Dark Rogue Waves

During the last two decades, revealing mechanisms of origin waves with anomalous amplitude (rogue waves) have been in the focus of researchers from different fields ranging from oceanography to laser physics. Mode‐locked lasers, as a test bed system, provide a unique opportunity to collect more data on rogue waves in the form of random pulses (soliton rain) and to clarify the mechanisms of rogue‐wave emergence caused by soliton–soliton and soliton–dispersive wave interactions. Here, for the first time, for an Er‐doped mode‐locked laser, a new type of vector rogue waves is demonstrated experimentally and theoretically, which is driven by desynchronization of the orthogonal linear states of polarization, so leading to output power oscillations in the form of anomalous spikes‐dips (bright‐dark rogue waves). The results can pave the way to unlocking the universal nature of the origin of rogue waves and thus can be of interest to the broad scientific community.     

Solitons of the KP equation in dusty plasma with variable dust charge and two temperature ions: energy and stability

The propagation of nonlinear waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions is analyzed. By using the reductive perturbation theory, the Kadomtsev-Petviashivili (KP) equation is derived. A Sagdeev potential has been investigated. This potential is used to study the stability conditions for existence of solitonic solutions. Also, it is shown that a rarefactive soliton can exist in most of the cases. The energy of the soliton has been calculated and by using the standard normal-mode analysis a linear dispersion relation has been obtained. The effects of variable dust charge on the amplitude, width and energy of soliton and its effects on the angular frequency of linear wave are also discussed.     

Nonlinear theory of ionic sound waves in a hot quantum-degenerate electron-positron-ion plasma

A collisionless nonmagnetized e-p-i plasma consisting of quantum-degenerate gases of ions, electrons, and positrons at nonzero temperatures is considered. The dispersion equation for isothermal ionic sound waves is derived and analyzed, and an exact expression is obtained for the linear velocity of ionic sound. Analysis of the dispersion equation has made it possible to determine the ranges of parameters in which nonlinear solutions in the form of solitons should be sought. A nonlinear theory of isothermal ionic sound waves is developed and used for obtaining and analyzing the exact solution to the system of initial equations. Analysis has been carried out by the method of the Bernoulli pseudopotential. The ranges of phase velocities of periodic ionic sound waves and soliton velocities are determined. It is shown that in the plasma under investigation, these ranges do not overlap and that the soliton velocity cannot be lower than the linear velocity of ionic sound. The profiles of physical quantities in a periodic wave and in a soliton are constructed, as well as the dependences of the velocity of sound and the critical velocity on the ionic concentration in the plasma. It is shown that these velocities increase with the ion concentration.     

Kadomstev-Petviashvili (KP) equation in warm dusty plasma with variable dust charge,two-temperature ion and nonthermal electron

In this work, the propagation of nonlinear waves in warm dusty plasmas with variable dust charge, two-temperature ion and nonthermal electron is studied. By using the reductive perturbation theory, the Kadomstev-Petviashvili (KP) equation is derived. The energy of the soliton and the linear dispersion relation are obtained. The effects of variable dust charge on the energy of soliton and the angular frequency of linear wave are also discussed.     

Self-similar drift waves in two dimensions

The possibility of self-similar non-linear drift waves is shown, and an exact expression describing them in the linear limit is obtained. It is demonstrated numerically that they describe the tail that appears during the formation of a single soliton.     

Matter-wave interference in Bose-Einstein condensates: A dispersive hydrodynamic perspective

The interference pattern generated by the merging interaction of two Bose-Einstein condensates reveals the coherent, quantum wave nature of matter. An asymptotic analysis of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the small dispersion (semiclassical) limit, experimental results, and three-dimensional numerical simulations show that this interference pattern can be interpreted as a modulated soliton train generated by the interaction of two rarefaction waves propagating through the vacuum. The soliton train is shown to emerge from a linear, trigonometric interference pattern and is found by use of the Whitham modulation theory for nonlinear waves. This dispersive hydrodynamic perspective offers a new viewpoint on the mechanism driving matter-wave interference.     

Rogue waves management by external potentials

We study the effect of time-dependent linear and quadratic potentials on the profile and dynamics of rogue waves represented by a Peregrine soliton. The Akhmediev breather, Ma breather, bright soliton, Peregrine soliton, and constant wave (CW) are all obtained by changing the value of one parameter in the general solution corresponding to the amplitude of the input CW. The corresponding solutions for the case with linear and quadratic potentials were derived by the similarity transformation method. While the peak height and width of the rogue wave turn out to be insensitive to the linear potential, the trajectory of its center-of-mass can be manipulated with an arbitrary time-dependent slope of the linear potential. With a quadratic potential, the peak height and width of the rogue wave can be arbitrarily manipulated to result, for a special case, in a very intense pulse.     

Long-range interaction of picosecond solitons through excitation of acoustic waves in optical fibers

We present the theory of electrostrictional interaction of soliton pulses in optical fibers. Solitons excite acoustic waves propagating in the direction transverse to the fiber axis. Scattering of optical radiation on these waves leads to a timing jitter of the optical pulses arrival time. We consider this effect as nonlinear self-scattering of light on acoustic waves. Because of the fact that a value of acoustic lifetime can reach a value of about 100 ns self-scattering on acoustic waves can be observed for a single optical pulse as well as for an optical pulse sequence as a whole. The value of single soliton self-frequency shift due to excitation of acoustic waves as a function of soliton duration have been obtained. For soliton duration _sol > 14 ps an acoustic wave soliton self-frequency shift is larger than the Raman soliton self-frequency shift.The obtained theoretical results describe well the long-range interaction of soliton pulse trains in an optical fiber. The value of bit error rate due to electrostrictional interaction of optical pulses in high bit rate, ultra long soliton communication systems have been obtained.     

Interaction of ion-acoustic solitons with Langmuir turbulence

The interaction of ion-acoustic solitons with Langmuir waves has been considered. Investigation was performed in the approximation of a slow change in soliton parameters compared with the time of evolution of wave spectrum. This permitted a two-stage solution of the problem. First the Langmuir wave spectrum changes in the given field of a soliton were found. Then the action of high-frequency waves on the soliton was taken into account.     

Soliton Molecules,Asymmetric Solitons and Hybrid Solutions for(2+1)-Dimensional Fifth-Order Kd V Equation

Soliton molecules were first discovered in optical systems and are currently a hot topic of research. We obtain soliton molecules of the(2+1)-dimensional fifth-order Kd V system under a new resonance condition called velocity resonance in theory. On the basis of soliton molecules, asymmetric solitons can be obtained by selecting appropriate parameters. Based on the N-soliton solution, we obtain hybrid solutions consisting of soliton molecules,lump waves and breather waves by partial velocity resonance and partial long wave limits. Soliton molecules,and some types of special soliton resonance solutions, are stable under the meaning that the interactions among soliton molecules are elastic. Both soliton molecules and asymmetric solitons obtained may be observed in fluid systems because the fifth-order Kd V equation describes the ion-acoustic waves in plasmas, shallow water waves in channels and oceans.     

Solitary waves in a nonlinear oppositely directed coupler

The propagation of pulses in the system of two tunnel-coupled optical waveguides from optically nonlinear materials one of which has a negative refractive index, while the other one, positive, is investigated theoretically. The propagation of nonlinear waves in this structure is studied based on the model of coupled modes. For linear waves, this pair of coupled waveguides behaves as a mirror resulting in the change of direction of the energy flow upon penetration of radiation from one waveguide to the other. The solutions to the system of nonlinear equations describing the stationary propagation of the solitary wave, the gap soliton, in a particular direction are found. This soliton is formed by the coupled pair of wave packets each localized in the corresponding waveguide.     

Moving near-gap solitons in the nonlinear optical medium

For a one-dimensional nonlinear optical medium with a periodic refraction index, new two-parameter soliton solutions of electrodynamics equations have been found. These solutions represent two interacting waves that propagate in two opposite directions. The oscillation frequency of each wave may fall either into the forbidden gap in the linear spectrum or outside it, and the group velocity may vary from zero to a maximal value that is determined by the parameters of the medium. Algebraic soliton solutions have been found as the limit of the nonlinear solutions, when the nonlinear wave frequency tends to the frequency of one of the linear-spectrum branches.     

Stability of solitons in nonlinear composite media

An analysis is made of the dynamic stability of soliton solutions of the Hamilton equations describing plane waves in nonlinear elastic composite media in the presence and absence of anisotropy. In the anisotropiccase two two-parameter soliton families, fast and slow, are obtained in analytic form; in the absence of anisotropy there is a single three-parameter soliton family. It is shown that solitons from the slow family in an anisotropic composite and solitons in an isotropic composite are dynamically stable if their velocities lie in a certain range known as the range of stability. The analysis of stability is based on the spectral properties of the “linearized Hamiltonian” ?. It is shown that the operator ? is positively semidefinite on some linear subspace of the main solution space from which stability follows. Problems of instability of the fast soliton family in the anisotropic case and representatives of soliton families whose velocities lie outside the range of stability in the presence and absence of anisotropy are discussed.     

Resonant and non-resonant soliton scattering by impurities

The NLSE soliton scattering by impurities is considered in the framework of the one-dimensional model. The scattering intensity is characterized by the reflection coefficient of the soliton is calculated in the Born approximation of the perturbation theory for the following cases: (i) and isolated impurity, (ii) two point impurities, and (iii) a regular or random system of point impurities. An analytical comparison with the scattering of linear waves is carried out. In particular, we analytically describe the nonlinear resonant scattering by two point impurities, and the non-resonant soliton scattering by a random system of point impurities.     

Density waves in a traffic flow model with reaction-time delay

Density waves are investigated analytically and numerically in the optimal velocity model with reaction-time delay of drivers. The stability condition of this model is obtained by using the linear stability theory. The results show that the decrease of reaction-time delay of drivers leads to the stabilization of traffic flow. The Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equations are derived to describe the density waves in the stable, metastable and unstable regions respectively. The triangular shock waves, soliton waves and kink-antikink waves appearing respectively in the three distinct regions are derived to describe the traffic jams. The numerical simulations are given.     

Nonautonomous solitons in external potentials

Novel soliton solutions for the nonautonomous nonlinear Schr?dinger equation models with linear and harmonic oscillator potentials substantially extend the concept of classical solitons and generalize it to the plethora of nonautonomous solitons that interact elastically and generally move with varying amplitudes, speeds, and spectra adapted both to the external potentials and to the dispersion and nonlinearity variations. The nonautonomous soliton concept can be applied to different physical systems, from hydrodynamics and plasma physics to nonlinear optics and matter waves, and offer many opportunities for further scientific studies.
