Gap solitons in parity time complex superlattice with dual periods

A theory is presented to investigate the existence and propagation stability of gap solitons in a parity-time （PT） com- plex superlattice with dual periods. In this superlattice, the real and imaginary parts are both in the form of superlattices with dual periods. In the self-focusing nonlinearity, PT solitons can exist in the semi-infinite gap. However, only those gap solitons with low powers can propagate stably, whereas the high-power solitons present periodic oscillation and simultane- ously suffer energy decay. In the self-defocusing nonlinearity, PT solitons only exist in the first gap and all these solitons are stable.     

An Approach for Solving Short-Wave Models for Camassa-Holm Equation and Degasperis-Procesi Equation

In this paper, to construct exact solution of nonlinear partial differential equation, an easy-to-use approach is proposed. By means of the transformation of the independent variables and the travelling wave transformation, the partial differential equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. To solve the ordinary differential equation, we assume the soliton solution in the explicit expression and obtain the travelling wave solution. By the transformation back to the original independent variables, the soliton solution of the original partial differential equation is derived. We investigate the short wave model for the Camassa-Holm equation and the Degasperis-Procesi equation respectively. One-cusp soliton solution of the Camassa-Flolm equation is obtained. One-loop soliton solution of the Degasperis- Procesi equation is also obtained, the approximation of which in a closed form can be obtained firstly by the Adomian decomposition method. The obtained results in a parametric form coincide perfectly with those given in the present reference. This illustrates the efficiency and reliability of our approach.     

Envelope Solitons Perturbed by Stochastic Noise

We perform langevin dynamics simulation for envelope solitons in an FPU-β lattice, with the nearest- neighbor interaction and quartic anharmonicity. We get the motion equations of our discrete system by adding noise and damping to the set of deterministic motion equations. We define ＂half-time＂ as the time when the amplitude of the envelope soliton decreases by half due to damping. And then the mass, center and half-time of the perturbed envelope soliton are numerically simulated, beginning with the discrete envelope soliton at rest. Results show successfully how noise affects behavior of the envelope soliton.     

Exact breathing soliton solutions in combined time-dependent harmonic-lattice potential

We investigate the explicit novel localized nonlinear matter waves of the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schr6dinger equation with spafiotemporal modulation of the nonlinearities and the harmonic-lattice potential using a modified similarity trans- formation. We also find that when the modulus of the Jacobian elliptic function in the limit closes to 1, the shapes of the breathing solitons may exhibit some interesting features, i.e., one breathing soliton dividing into two in the ground state. The stability of the exact solutions is investigated numerically such that some stable breathing soliton solutions are found.     

Collisions of Two Soatial Solitons in Inhomogeneous Nonlinear Media

Collisions of spatial solitons occurring in the nonlinear Schroeinger equation with harmonic potential are studied, using conservation laws and the split-step Fourier method. We find an analytical solution for the separation distance between the spatial solitons in an inhomogeneous nonlinear medium when the light beam is self-trapped in the transverse dimension. In the self-focusing nonlinear media the spatial solitons can be transmitted stably, and the interaction between spatial solitons is enhanced due to the linear focusing effect （and also diminished for the linear defocusing effect）. In the self-defocusing nonlinear media, in the absence of self-trapping or in the presence of linear self-defocusing, no transmission of stable spatial solitons is possible. However, in such media the linear focusing effect can be exactly compensated, and the spatial solitons can propagate through.     

Spatiotemporal binary interaction and designer quasi-particle condensates

We introduce a new integrable model to investigate the dynamics of two component quasi-particle condensates with spatiotemporal interaction strengths. We derive the associated Lax pair of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii （GP） equation and construct matter wave solitons, We show that the spatiotemporal binary interaction strengths not only facilitate the stabilization of the condensates, but also enables one to fabricate condensates with desirable densities, geometries, and properties, leading to the so-called ＂designer quasi-particle condensates＂.     

Influence of Non-Maxwellian Particles on Dust Acoustic Waves in a Dusty Magnetized Plasma

In this paper an investigation into dust acoustic solitary waves(DASWs) in the presence of superthermal electrons and ions in a magnetized plasma with cold dust grains and trapped electrons is discussed. The dynamic of both electrons and ions is simulated by the generalized Lorentzian(κ) distribution function(DF). The dust grains are cold and their dynamics are studied by hydrodynamic equations. The basic set of fluid equations is reduced to modified Korteweg-de Vries(mKdV) equation using Reductive Perturbation Theory(RPT). Two types of solitary waves, fast and slow dust acoustic soliton(DAS) exist in this plasma. Calculations reveal that compressive solitary structures are possibly propagated in the plasma where dust grains are negatively(or positively) charged. The properties of DASs are also investigated numerically.     

Three-dimensional solitons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate a kind of solitons in the two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with axisymmetric configurations in the R2 × S1 space. The corresponding topological structure is referred to as Hopfion. The spin texture differs from the conventional three-dimensional （3D） skyrmion and knot, which is characterized by two homotopy invariants. The stability of the Hopfion is verified numerically by evolving the Gross-Pitaevskii equations in imaginary time.     

Pulse Amplification in Dispersion-Decreasing Fibers with Symbolic Computation

The pulse amplification in the dispersion-decreasing fiber （DDF） is investigated via symbolic computation to solve the variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrfdinger equation with the effects of third-order dispersion, self-steepening, and stimulated Raman scattering. The analytic one-soliton solution of this model is obtained with a set of parametric conditions. Based on this solution, the fundamental soliton is shown to be amplified in the DDF. The comparison of the amplitude of pulses for different dispersion profiles of the DDF is also performed through the graphical analysis. The results of this paper would be of certain value to the study of signal amplification and pulse compression.     

On Camassa-Holm Equation with Self-Consistent Sources and Its Solutions

Regarded as the integrable generalization of Camassa-Holm （CH） equation, the CH equation with self-consistent sources （CHESCS） is derived. The Lax representation of the CHESCS is presented. The conservation laws for CHESCS are constructed. The peakon solution, N-soliton, N-cuspon, N-positon, and N-negaton solutions of CHESCS are obtained by using Darboux transformation and the method of variation of constants.     

Explicit Solutions for a New （2＋1）-Dimensional Coupled mKdV Equation

An integrable （2＋1）-dimensional coupled mKdV equation is decomposed into two （1 ＋1）-dimensional soliton systems, which is produced from the compatible condition of three spectral problems. With the help of decomposition and the Darboux transformation of two （1＋1）-dimensional soliton systems, some interesting explicit solutions of these soliton equations are obtained.     

Dissipation-Managed Bright Soliton in a 1D Bose-Einstein Condensate in an Optical-Lattice Potential

We study the formation of a dynamically-stabilized dissipation-managed bright soliton in a quasi-onedimensional Bose-Einstein condensate by including an imaginary three-body recombination loss term and an imaginary linear feeding one in the Gross Pitaevskii equation, trapped in a shallow optical-lattice potential. Based on the direct approach of perturbation theory for the nonlinear Schroedinger equation, we demonstrate that the height （as well as width） of bright soliton may have little change through selecting experimental parameters.     

Rational and Periodic Wave Solutions of Two-Dimensional Boussinesq Equation

Two new exact, rational and periodic wave solutions are derived for the two-dimensional Boussinesq equation. For the first solution it is obtained by performing an appropriate limiting procedure on the soliton solutions obtained by Hirota bilinear method. The second one in terms of Riemann theta function is explicitly presented by virtue of Hirota bilinear method and its asymptotic property is also analyzed in detail. Moreover, it is of interest to note that classical soliton solutions can be reduced from the periodic wave solutions.

The qualitative theory of differential equations is applied to the Ostrovsky equation. The cusped soliton and loop-soliton solutions of the Ostrovsky equation are obtained. Asymptotic behavior of cusped soliton solutions is given. Numerical simulations are provided for cusped solitons and so-calledloop-solitons of the Ostrovsky equation.     

Two-Dimensional Soliton Interaction for Multi-component Bose-Einstein Condensates

For two-component disk-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive atom-atom interaction, the small amplitude, finite and long wavelength nonlinear waves can be described by a Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Ⅰ equation at the lowest order from the originai coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. One- and two-soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev- Petviashvili-1 equation are given, therefore, the wave functions of both atomic gases are obtained as well. The instability of a soliton under higher-order long wavelength disturbance has been investigated. It is found that the instability depends on the angle between two directions of both soliton and disturbance.     

Nonautonomous dark soliton solutions in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates with a linear time-dependent potential

We report the analytical nonantonomous soliton solutions （NSSs） for two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with the presence of a time-dependent potential. These solutions show that the time-dependent potential can affect the velocity of NSS. The velocity shows the characteristic of both increasing and oscillation with time. A detailed analysis for the asymptotic behavior of NSSs demonstrates that the collision of two NSSs of each component is elastic.     

Bilinear Backlund transformation and explicit solutions for a nonlinear evolution equation

The bilinear form of two nonlinear evolution equations are derived by using Hirota derivative. The Backlund transformation based on the Hirota bilinear method for these two equations are presented, respectively. As an application, the explicit solutions including soliton and stationary rational solutions for these two equations are obtained.     

A Higher-Dimensional Hirota Condition and Its Judging Method

When a one-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation could be transformed into a bilinear differential form as F（Dt, Dx）f . f = O, Hirota proposed a condition for the above evolution equation to have arbitrary N-soliton solutions, we call it the 1-dimensional Hirota condition. As far as higher-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations go, a similar condition is established in this paper, also we call it a higher-dimensional Hirota condition, a corresponding judging theory is given. As its applications, a few two-dimensional KdV-type equations possessing arbitrary N-soliton solutions are obtained.     

Induced Lie Algebras of a Six-Dimensional Matrix Lie Algebra

By using a six-dimensional matrix Lie algebra [Y.F. Zhang and Y. Wang, Phys. Lett. A 360 （2006） 92], three induced Lie algebras are constructed. One of them is obtained by extending Lie bracket, the others are higher-dimensional complex Lie algebras constructed by using linear transformations. The equivalent Lie algebras of the later two with multi-component forms are obtained as well. As their applications, we derive an integrable coupling and quasi-Hamiltonian structure of the modified TC hierarchy of soliton equations.
