Born–Infeld solitons,maximal surfaces,and Ramanujan’s identities

We show that a Born–Infeld soliton can be realised either as a spacelike minimal graph or timelike minimal graph over a timelike plane or a combination of both away from singular points. We also obtain some exact solutions of the Born–Infeld equation from already known solutions to the maximal surface equation. Further we present a method to construct a one parameter family of complex solitons from a given one parameter family of maximal surfaces. Finally, using Ramanujan’s identities and the Weierstrass–Enneper representation of maximal surfaces, we derive further non-trivial identities.     

Solitary-wave families of the Ostrovsky equation: An approach via reversible systems theory and normal forms

The Ostrovsky equation is an important canonical model for the unidirectional propagation of weakly nonlinear long surface and internal waves in a rotating, inviscid and incompressible fluid. Limited functional analytic results exist for the occurrence of one family of solitary-wave solutions of this equation, as well as their approach to the well-known solitons of the famous Korteweg–de Vries equation in the limit as the rotation becomes vanishingly small. Since solitary-wave solutions often play a central role in the long-time evolution of an initial disturbance, we consider such solutions here (via the normal form approach) within the framework of reversible systems theory. Besides confirming the existence of the known family of solitary waves and its reduction to the KdV limit, we find a second family of multihumped (or N-pulse) solutions, as well as a continuum of delocalized solitary waves (or homoclinics to small-amplitude periodic orbits). On isolated curves in the relevant parameter region, the delocalized waves reduce to genuine embedded solitons. The second and third families of solutions occur in regions of parameter space distinct from the known solitary-wave solutions and are thus entirely new. Directions for future work are also mentioned.     

Matrix Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation: Tropical Limit,Yang–Baxter and Pentagon Maps

In the tropical limit of matrix KP-II solitons, their support at a fixed time is a planar graph with “polarizations” attached to its linear parts. We explore a subclass of soliton solutions whose tropical limit graph has the form of a rooted and generically binary tree and also solutions whose limit graph comprises two relatively inverted such rooted tree graphs. The distribution of polarizations over the lines constituting the graph is fully determined by a parameter-dependent binary operation and a Yang–Baxter map (generally nonlinear), which becomes linear in the vector KP case and is hence given by an R-matrix. The parameter dependence of the binary operation leads to a solution of the pentagon equation, which has a certain relation to the Rogers dilogarithm via a solution of the hexagon equation, the next member in the family of polygon equations. A generalization of the R-matrix obtained in the vector KP case also solves a pentagon equation. A corresponding local version of the latter then leads to a new solution of the hexagon equation.     

Solitary wave solutions and modulation instability analysis of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with higher order dispersion and nonlinear terms

We report exact bright and dark solitary wave solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) in cubic–quintic non-Kerr medium adopting phase–amplitude ansatz method. We have found the solitary wave parameters along with the constraints under which bright or dark solitons may exist in such a media. Furthermore, we have also studied the modulation instability analysis both in anomalous and normal dispersion regime. The role of fourth order dispersion, cubic–quintic nonlinear parameter and self-steeping parameter on modulation instability gain has been investigated.     

Normal form of differential equations with a small parameter

In this paper we study a system of ordinary differential equations with a small parameter in the neighborhood of a fixed solution. We find a normal form for such a system. Then for the case of a small parameter and a single resonance we show that the formal integral manifold, found by V. I. Arnol'd (see Referativnyi Zhurnal Matematika, 8B678), is not always analytic. We discuss the conditions under which it is analytic.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 16, No. 3, pp. 407–414, September, 1974.     

Solitary wave families of a generalized microstructure PDE

Wave propagation in a generalized microstructure PDE, under the Mindlin relations, is considered. Limited analytic results exist for the occurrence of one family of solitary wave solutions of these equations. Since solitary wave solutions often play a central role in the long-time evolution of an initial disturbance, we consider such solutions here (via normal form approach) within the framework of reversible systems theory. Besides confirming the existence of the known family of solitary waves, we find a continuum of delocalized solitary waves (or homoclinics to small-amplitude periodic orbits). On isolated curves in the relevant parameter region, the delocalized waves reduce to genuine embedded solitons. The new family of solutions occur in regions of parameter space distinct from the known solitary wave solutions and are thus entirely new. Directions for future work are also mentioned.     

Stability of peakons for the Degasperis‐Procesi equation

The Degasperis‐Procesi equation can be derived as a member of a one‐parameter family of asymptotic shallow‐water approximations to the Euler equations with the same asymptotic accuracy as that of the Camassa‐Holm equation. In this paper, we study the orbital stability problem of the peaked solitons to the Degasperis‐Procesi equation on the line. By constructing a Lyapunov function, we prove that the shapes of these peakon solitons are stable under small perturbations. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Positive Hermitian curvature flow on nilpotent and almost-abelian complex Lie groups

We study the positive Hermitian curvature flow on the space of left-invariant metrics on complex Lie groups. We show that in the nilpotent case, the flow exists for all positive times and subconverges in the Cheeger–Gromov sense to a soliton. We also show convergence to a soliton when the complex Lie group is almost abelian. That is, when its Lie algebra admits a (complex) co-dimension one abelian ideal. Finally, we study solitons in the almost-abelian setting. We prove uniqueness and completely classify all left-invariant, almost-abelian solitons, giving a method to construct examples in arbitrary dimensions, many of which admit co-compact lattices.

     

Complex solitary waves from one-soliton solution

Complex solitary wave solutions are obtained for higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation as a one-parameter, (C₁) family of solutions. These solutions are found to be stable in a certain range of the parameter. It is observed that for C₁<1, these stable waves propagate at faster bit rate than the solitons under the same input conditions. The complex solutions can also be obtained by the action of the nonlinear operator on the one-soliton solution.     

Hylomorphic solitons and charged Q-balls: Existence and stability

In this paper we present a general theoretical framework from which several known results (a some new ones) on the existence and stability of solitons can be recovered.We give an abstract definition of solitary wave and soliton and we develope an abstract existence theory. This theory provides a powerful tool to study the existence of solitons for the Klein–Gordon equations as well as for gauge theories. Applying this theory, we prove the existence of a continuous family of stable charged Q-balls.     

Soliton Resonances for the MKP-II

Using the second flow (derivative reaction-diffusion system) and the third one of the dissipative SL(2, ℝ) Kaup-Newell hierarchy, we show that the product of two functions satisfying those systems is a solution of the modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in 2+1 dimensions with negative dispersion (MKP-II). We construct Hirota’s bilinear representations for both flows and combine them as the bilinear system for the MKP-II. Using this bilinear form, we find one- and two-soliton solutions for the MKP-II. For special values of the parameters, our solution shows resonance behavior with the creation of four virtual solitons. Our approach allows interpreting the resonance soliton as a composite object of two dissipative solitons in 1+1 dimensions.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 144, No. 1, pp. 133–142, July, 2005.     

A Jacobi–Davidson method for two‐real‐parameter nonlinear eigenvalue problems arising from delay‐differential equations

The critical delays of a delay‐differential equation can be computed by solving a nonlinear two‐parameter eigenvalue problem. The solution of this two‐parameter problem can be translated to solving a quadratic eigenvalue problem of squared dimension. We present a structure preserving QR‐type method for solving such quadratic eigenvalue problem that only computes real‐valued critical delays; that is, complex critical delays, which have no physical meaning, are discarded. For large‐scale problems, we propose new correction equations for a Newton‐type or Jacobi–Davidson style method, which also forces real‐valued critical delays. We present three different equations: one real‐valued equation using a direct linear system solver, one complex valued equation using a direct linear system solver, and one Jacobi–Davidson style correction equation that is suitable for an iterative linear system solver. We show numerical examples for large‐scale problems arising from PDEs. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

One-parameter family of integrable solutions of a system of nonlinear integral equations of the Hammerstein–Volterra type in the supercritical case

We study a system of nonlinear integral equations of the Hammerstein–Volterra type on a half-line in the supercritical case. We show that this system has a one-parameter family of positive integrable bounded solutions. We describe the structure of each solution in this family. The monotone dependence of the solutions on the parameter is proved.     

Solitons in the Domain Structure of the Ferromagnet

By the method of dressing on a torus, we obtain and study solutions of the Landau–Lifshitz equation, which describe solitons in the stripe domain structure of the easy-axis ferromagnet. A specific feature of these solitons is that they are directly related to the domain structure: they induce translations and local oscillations of the domains. We find integrals of motion stabilizing the solitons on the background of the structure.     

On the axiomatic definition of real JB*–triples

In the last twenty years, a theory of real Jordan triples has been developed. In 1994 T. Dang and B. Russo introduced the concept of J*B–triple. These J*B–triples include real C*–algebras and complex JB*–triples. However, concerning J*B–triples, an important problem was left open. Indeed, the question was whether the complexification of a J*B–triple is a complex JB*–triple in some norm extending the original norm. T. Dang and B. Russo solved this problem for commutative J*B–triples. In this paper we characterize those J*B–triples with a unitary element whose complexifications are complex JB*–triples in some norm extending the original one. We actually find a necessary and sufficient new axiom to characterize those J*B–triples with a unitary element which are J*B–algebras in the sense of [1] or real JB*–triples in the sense of [4].     

Dark and antidark solitons for the defocusing coupled Sasa–Satsuma system by the Darboux transformation

In this article, we construct the $N$-fold Darboux transformation for the defocusing coupled Sasa–Satsuma system which describes the simultaneous propagation of two nonlinear waves in optical fibers with higher order effects. With the non-zero constant background as a seed, we derive the dark and antidark soliton solutions from the once-iterated formula. We find that this coupled system can exhibit the dark–dark, dark–antidark and antidark–dark vector solitons.     

The superposition of algebraic solitons for the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation

Many real nonlinear evolution equations exhibiting soliton properties display a special superposition principle, where an infinite array of equally spaced, identical solitons constitutes an exact periodic solution. This arrangement is studied for the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation with positive cubic nonlinearity, which possesses algebraic solitons with nonvanishing far field conditions. An infinite sum of equally spaced, identical algebraic pulses is evaluated in closed form, and leads to a complex valued solution of the nonlinear evolution equation.     

Four-Dimensional Pseudo-Riemannian Generalized Symmetric Spaces Which are Algebraic Ricci Solitons

We classify, up to isometry, non-symmetric simply-connected four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric spaces which are algebraic Ricci solitons. It turns out that those of Cerny–Kowalski’s types A, C and D are algebraic Ricci solitons, whereas those of type B are not. Thus, we give new examples of algebraic Ricci solitons.     

Schwarzschild-Type Solutions in Dilaton Gravity

In the D-dimensional dilaton gravity model, we obtain and study stationary Schwarzschild-type solutions, i.e., centrally symmetric solutions in a vacuum. They form a two-parameter family of solutions: one of the parameters is an analogue of the gravitational radius, and the second parameter characterizes the intensity of the dilaton field. If the second parameter is zero, which means that the dilaton field is constant, then the expression obtained for the metric becomes the well-known Schwarzschild solution describing a black hole. But if this parameter is nonzero, then the black hole horizon does not appear. We find the parameters of quasielliptic orbits of test particles for the obtained solutions in the weak gravitational field limit. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 145, No. 1, pp. 133–143, October, 2005.     

Extended Lagrangian approach for the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We study the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation written in hydrodynamic form through the Madelung transform. From the mathematical point of view, the hydrodynamic form can be seen as the Euler–Lagrange equations for a Lagrangian submitted to a differential constraint corresponding to the mass conservation law. The dispersive nature of the NLS equation poses some major numerical challenges. The idea is to introduce a two‐parameter family of extended Lagrangians, depending on a greater number of variables, whose Euler–Lagrange equations are hyperbolic and accurately approximate NLS equation in a certain limit. The corresponding hyperbolic equations are studied and solved numerically using Godunov‐type methods. Comparison of exact and asymptotic solutions to the one‐dimensional cubic NLS equation (“gray” solitons and dispersive shocks) and the corresponding numerical solutions to the extended system was performed. A very good accuracy of such a hyperbolic approximation was observed.
