Hodographic vortices

Vortices are screw phase dislocations associated with helicoidal wave-fronts. In nonlinear optics, vortices arise as singular solutions to the phase-intensity equations of geometric optics. They exist for a general class of nonlinear response functions. In this sense, vortices possess a universal character. Analysis of geometric optics equations on the hodograph plane leads to deformed vortex type solutions that are sensitive to the form of the nonlinearity. The case of a Kerr type nonlinear response is discussed as a specific example.     

General N-solitons and their dynamics in several nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations

General N-solitons in three recently-proposed nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations are presented. These nonlocal equations include the reverse-space, reverse-time, and reverse-space–time nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which are nonlocal reductions of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) hierarchy. It is shown that general N-solitons in these different equations can be derived from the same Riemann–Hilbert solutions of the AKNS hierarchy, except that symmetry relations on the scattering data are different for these equations. This Riemann–Hilbert framework allows us to identify new types of solitons with novel eigenvalue configurations in the spectral plane. Dynamics of N-solitons in these equations is also explored. In all the three nonlocal equations, their solutions often collapse repeatedly, but can remain bounded or nonsingular for wide ranges of soliton parameters as well. In addition, it is found that multi-solitons can behave very differently from fundamental solitons and may not correspond to a nonlinear superposition of fundamental solitons.     

柱面非线性麦克斯韦方程组的行波解

柱面电磁波在各种非均匀非线性介质中的传播问题具有非常重要的研究价值.对描述该问题的柱面非线性麦克斯韦方程组进行精确求解,则是最近几年新兴的研究热点.但由于非线性偏微分方程组的极端复杂性,针对任意初边值条件的精确求解在客观上具有极高的难度,已有工作仅解决了柱面电磁波在指数非线性因子的非色散介质中的传播情况.因此,针对更为确定的物理场景,寻求能够精确描述其中更为广泛的物理性质的解,是一种更为有效的处理方法.本文讨论了具有任意非线性因子与幂律非均匀因子的非色散介质中柱面麦克斯韦方程组的行波精确解,理论分析表明这种情况下柱面电磁波的电场分量E已不存在通常形如E=g(r-kt)的平面行波解;继而通过适当的变量替换与求解相应的非线性常微分方程,给出电场分量E=g(lnr-kt)形式的广义行波解,并以例子展示所得到的解中蕴含的类似于自陡效应的物理现象.     

Inverse Scattering Transform and Solitons for Square Matrix Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Mixed Sign Reductions and Nonzero Boundary Conditions

The inverse scattering transform (IST) with nonzero boundary conditions at infinity is developed for a class of 2 × 2 matrix nonlinear Schrödinger-type systems whose reductions include two equations that model certain hyperfine spin F = 1 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, and two novel equations that were recently shown to be integrable, and that have applications in nonlinear optics and four-component fermionic condensates. In our formulation, both the direct and the inverse problems are posed in terms of a suitable uniformization variable which allows us to develop the IST on the standard complex plane instead of a two-sheeted Riemann surface or the cut plane with discontinuities along the cuts. Analyticity, symmetries and asymptotics of the scattering eigenfunctions and scattering data are derived, and properties of the discrete spectrum are analyzed in detail. In addition, the general behavior of the soliton solutions for all four reductions is discussed, and some novel soliton solutions are presented.     

Intramolecular vibrations and noise effects on pattern formation in a molecular helix

Modulational instability in a biexciton molecular chain is addressed. We show that the model can be reduced to a set of three coupled equations: two nonlinear Schr?dinger equations and a Boussinesq equation. The linear stability analysis of continuous wave solutions of the coupled systems is performed and the growth rate of instability is found numerically. Simulations of the full discrete systems reveal some behaviors of modulational instability, since wave patterns are observed for the excitons and the phonon spectrum. We also take the effect of thermal fluctuations into account and we numerically study both the stability and the instability of the plane waves under 300 K. The plane wave is found to be stable under modulation, but displays a gradual increase of the wave amplitudes. Under modulation, the same behaviors are observed and wave patterns are found to resist thermal fluctuations, which is in agreement with earlier research on localized structure stability under thermal noise.     

Relativistic Dynamics of Vector Bosons in the Field of Gravitational Radiation

We consider a model of the state evolution of relativistic vector bosons, which includes both the dynamical equations for the particle four-velocity and the equations for the polarization four-vector evolution in the field of a nonlinear plane gravitational wave. In addition to the gravitational minimal coupling, tidal forces linear in curvature tensor are suggested to drive the particle state evolution. The exact solutions of the evolutionary equations are obtained. Birefringence and tidal deviations from the geodesic motion are discussed.     

On the quasi-soliton propagation of few-cycle optical pulses in isotropic dielectrics

A new combined approach for constructing approximate soliton-like solutions of nonlinear wave equations is proposed. The approach includes the method of analytic continuation of dispersion parameters to the complex plane and the averaged variational principle of the Ritz-Whitham type. Based on this approach, the solution of the nonlinear equation describing the propagation of an optical pulse in a transparent isotropic dielectric is found. The obtained solution involves both envelope solitons and breather-like pulses with duration down to one period of electromagnetic oscillations.     

Lienard Equation and Exact Solutions for Some Soliton-Producing Nonlinear Equations

In this paper, we first consider exact solutions for Lienard equation with nonlinear terms of any order. Then, explicit exact bell and kink profile solitary-wave solutions for many nonlinear evolution equations are obtained by means of results of the Lienard equation and proper deductions, which transform original partial differential equations into the Lienard one. These nonlinear equations include compound KdV, compound KdV-Burgers, generalized Boussinesq, generalized KP and Ginzburg-Landau equation. Some new solitary-wave solutions are found.

New Soliton Solutions with Compact Support for a Family of Two-Parameter Regularized Long-Wave Boussinesq Equations

Searching for special solitary wave solutions with compact support is of important significance in soliton theory. In this paper, to understand the role of nonlinear dispersion in pattern formation, a family of the regularized longwave Boussincsq equations with fully nonlinear dispersion (simply called R(m, n) equations), utt + a( un )xx + b(um )xxtt = 0(a, b const.), is studied. New solitary wave solutions with compact support of R(m, n) equations are found. In addition we find another compacton solutions of the two special cases, R(2, 2) equation and R(3, 3) equation. It is found that the nonlinear dispersion term in a nonlinear evolution equation is not a necessary condition of that it possesses compacton solutions.     

Exact solutions of variable coefficient nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations with a nonlinear convective term

Attempts have been made to look for the exact solutions of certain types of nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations which involve not only the quadratic and quartic nonlinearities but also a time-dependent nonlinear convective flux term. In particular, the solitary wave solutions are found. Such equations arise in a variety of contexts in physical and biological problems.     

Non‐Volkov solutions for a charge in a plane wave

As it is known, a set of solutions of the Klein‐Gordon and Dirac equations with a plane‐wave field was found for the first time by Volkov. We construct new solutions of these equations different from the Volkov ones. In particular, the new solutions are characterized by quantum numbers different from Volkov solutions. In fact, our result is based on the demonstration that the transversal charge motion in a plane wave can be mapped by a special quantum transformation to transversal free particle motion. Similarly, we find new sets of solutions of the Klein‐Gordon and Dirac equations with the combined electromagnetic field.     

Exact static solutions of nonlinear spinor-field equations in a Hedel universe

Exact static solutions of spinor-field equations with nonlinear terms that are arbitrary functions of the invariant S=ψψ are obtained in the external gravitational field of a Hedel universe. The specific type of nonlinear Lagrangian that produces regular and localized distributions of spinor-field energy density is discussed. Exact solutions of the original equations are also obtained in plane spacetime. Here it is shown that irrespective of the form of the nonlinear Lagrangian, the energy density of the spinor field is constant, i.e., there is no localization. This means that the external gravitational field of a Hedel universe has a definite role in forming soliton-like configurations of the nonlinear spinor field.

Explicit and exact travelling plane wave solutions of the （2＋1）—dimensional Boussinesq equation

The deformation mapping method is applied to solve a system of (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equations. Many types of explicit and exact travelling plane wave solutions, which contain solitary wave solutions,periodic wave solutions,Jacobian elliptic function solutions and others exact solutions, are obtained by a simple algebraic transformation relation between the (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation and the cubic nonlinear Klein－Gordon equation.     

A study of laser rate equations by Liapunov's second method

An investigation is made of a system of coupled nonlinear differential equations (Statz-DeMars equations), describing the time variation of photon density and inversion in a laser or maser, without solving these equations explicitly. The method applied is based onLiapunov's stability theory. The results are rigorous and imply no approximation; they are, therefore, valid for arbitrarily large nonlinear terms. In the physically meaningful halfspace of the phase plane, i.e. where the photon density is not negative, the Statz-DeMars equations admit only damped periodic and damped aperiodic solutions. The transition between the aperiodic and the periodic mode is achieved, when the pumping rate exceeds a critical value. It is proven that the whole halfspace considered belongs to the domain of asymptotic stability of the equilibrium state and, therefore, no limit cycles and no diverging solutions exist.

Comparison between the generalized tanh–coth and the (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>′/<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)-expansion methods for solving NPDEs and NODEs

In this paper, we find exact solutions of some nonlinear evolution equations by using generalized tanh–coth method. Three nonlinear models of physical significance, i.e. the Cahn–Hilliard equation, the Allen–Cahn equation and the steady-state equation with a cubic nonlinearity are considered and their exact solutions are obtained. From the general solutions, other well-known results are also derived. Also in this paper, we shall compare the generalized tanh–coth method and generalized (G ^′/G )-expansion method to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Abundant exact travelling wave solutions including solitons, kink, periodic and rational solutions have been found. These solutions might play important roles in engineering fields. The generalized tanh–coth method was used to construct periodic wave and solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. This method is developed for searching exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. It is shown that the generalized tanh–coth method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a straightforward and powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear problems.

As its special cases, the solutions of classical long wave equations and modified Boussinesq equations can also be found.
