Soliton molecules and mixed solutions of the(2+1)-dimensional bidirectional Sawada-Kotera equation

In this paper, we investigate some new interesting solution structures of the(2+1)-dimensional bidirectional Sawada–Kotera(bSK) equation. We obtain soliton molecules by introducing velocity resonance. On the basis of soliton molecules, asymmetric solitons are obtained by changing the distance between two solitons of molecules. Based on the N-soliton solutions,several novel types of mixed solutions are generated, which include the mixed breather-soliton molecule solution by the module resonance of the wave number and partial velocity resonance,the mixed lump-soliton molecule solution obtained by partial velocity resonance and partial long wave limits, and the mixed solutions composed of soliton molecules(asymmetric solitons), lump waves, and breather waves. Some plots are presented to clearly illustrate the dynamic features of these solutions.     

Soliton molecules and some novel hybrid solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional generalized Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky-Kaup-Kupershmidt equation

Soliton molecules have become one of the hot topics in recent years. In this article, we investigate soliton molecules and some novel hybrid solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional generalized Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky–Kaup–Kupershmidt (gKDKK) equation by using the velocity resonance, module resonance, and long wave limits methods. By selecting some specific parameters, we can obtain soliton molecules and asymmetric soliton molecules of the gKDKK equation. And the interactions among N-soliton molecules are elastic. Furthermore, some novel hybrid solutions of the gKDKK equation can be obtained, which are composed of lumps, breathers, soliton molecules and asymmetric soliton molecules. Finally, the images of soliton molecules and some novel hybrid solutions are given, and their dynamic behavior is analyzed.     

Solitons molecules,lump and interaction solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation

Different resonance constraints enrich the behavior of soliton solutions. The soliton molecules, which are the bound states of solitons, can be set off by the velocity resonance. The lump waves, which are localized in all directions in space, are theoretically regarded as a limit form of soliton in some ways. In this paper, a (2+1)-dimensional Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers (STOB) equation is investigated. Soliton (kink) molecule, half periodic kink(HPK) and HPK molecule are studied. Then the lump solution is obtained and the interactions between lump and kink molecule are discussed. The kink molecule-lump solutions exhibit a fusion phenomenon and a rogue (instanton) phenomenon, respectively.     

Solitons and periodic waves for a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in fluid dynamics and plasma physics

Under investigation in this paper is a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in fluid dynamics and plasma physics. Soliton and one-periodic-wave solutions are obtained via the Hirota bilinear method and Hirota–Riemann method. Magnitude and velocity of the one soliton are derived. Graphs are presented to discuss the solitons and one-periodic waves: the coefficients in the equation can determine the velocity components of the one soliton, but cannot alter the soliton magnitude; the interaction between the two solitons is elastic; the coefficients in the equation can influence the periods and velocities of the periodic waves. Relation between the one-soliton solution and one-periodic wave solution is investigated.     

Soliton molecules and asymmetric solitons of the extended Lax equation via velocity resonance

We investigate the techniques for velocity resonance and apply them to construct soliton molecules using two solitons of the extended Lax equation.What is more,each soliton molecule can be transformed into an asymmetric soliton by changing the parameterφ.In addition,the collision between soliton molecules(or asymmetric soliton)and several soliton solutions is observed.Finally,some related pictures are presented.     

Interactions of Soliton Waves for a Generalized Discrete KdV Equation

It is well known that soliton interactions in discrete integrable systems often possess new properties which are different from the continuous integrable systems, e.g., we found that there are such discrete solitons in a semidiscrete integrable system(the time variable is continuous and the space one is discrete) that the shorter solitary waves travel faster than the taller ones. Very recently, this kind of soliton was also observed in a full discrete generalized Kd V system(the both of time and space variables are discrete) introduced by Kanki et al. In this paper, for the generalized discrete Kd V(gd Kd V) equation, we describe its richer structures of one-soliton solutions. The interactions of two-soliton waves to the gd Kd V equation are studied. Some new features of the soliton interactions are proposed by rigorous theoretical analysis.     

Resonance Y-type soliton solutions and some new types of hybrid solutions in the(2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equation

In this paper, based on N-soliton solutions, we introduce a new constraint among parameters to find the resonance Y-type soliton solutions in (2+1)-dimensional integrable systems. Then, we take the (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equation as an example to illustrate how to generate these resonance Y-type soliton solutions with this new constraint. Next, by the long wave limit method, velocity resonance and module resonance, we can obtain some new types of hybrid solutions of resonance Y-type solitons with line waves, breather waves, high-order lump waves respectively. Finally, we also study the dynamics of these interaction solutions and indicate mathematically that these interactions are elastic.     

Conservation laws,bilinear forms and solitons for a fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the attosecond pulses in an optical fiber

Under investigation in this paper is a fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which describes the propagation of attosecond pulses in an optical fiber. Based on the Lax pair, infinitely-many conservation laws are derived. With the aid of auxiliary functions, bilinear forms, one-, two- and three-soliton solutions in analytic forms are generated via the Hirota method and symbolic computation. Soliton velocity varies linearly with the coefficients of the high-order terms. Head-on interaction between the bidirectional two solitons and overtaking interaction between the unidirectional two solitons as well as the bound state are depicted. For the interactions among the three solitons, two head-on and one overtaking interactions, three overtaking interactions, an interaction between a bound state and a single soliton and the bound state are displayed. Graphical analysis shows that the interactions between the two solitons are elastic, and interactions among the three solitons are pairwise elastic. Stability analysis yields the modulation instability condition for the soliton solutions.     

Solitons and soliton molecules in two nonlocal Alice–Bob Sawada–Kotera systems

Two nonlocal Alice–Bob Sawada–Kotera(ABSK) systems, accompanied by the parity and time reversal invariance are studied. The Lax pairs of two systems are uniformly written out in matrix form. The periodic waves, multiple solitons, and soliton molecules of the ABSK systems are obtained via the bilinear method and the velocity resonant mechanism. Though the interactions among solitons are elastic, the interactions between soliton and soliton molecules are not elastic.In particular, the shapes of the soliton molecules are changed explicitly after interactions.

Symbolic computation on soliton solutions for variable-coefficient nonlinear Schr?dinger equation in nonlinear optics

Soliton interaction and control using the dispersion-decreasing fibers with potential applications to the design of high-speed optical devices and ultralarge capacity transmission systems are investigated based on solving the variable-coefficient nonlinear Schr?dinger equation with symbolic computation. Via the Hirota method, analytic two- and three-soliton solutions for that model are obtained, with their relevant properties and features illustrated. Dispersion-decreasing fibers with different profiles are found to be able to control the soliton velocity. Additionally, through the asymptotic analysis for the two-soliton solutions, we point out that the interaction between two solitons is elastic. Finally, a new approach to controll the soliton interaction using the dispersion-decreasing fiber with the Gaussian profile is suggested.     

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.     

Lax pair,infinitely-many conservation laws and soliton solutions for a set of the time-dependent Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations for the shallow water

Under investigation in this paper is a set of the time-dependent Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations, which is used for the shallow water under the Boussinesq approximation. The equations can be transformed into generalized time-dependent coefficient Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system via the variable transformation. Lax pair, infinitely-many conservation laws and bilinear forms of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system are obtained. One-, two- and three-soliton solutions are derived via the Hirota bilinear method. The solitons are physically related to the horizontal velocity field and height that deviates from equilibrium position of the water. Features of the solitons are studied: Soliton amplitude is related to the wave number parameters, while the soliton velocity is related to the wave number parameters and variable coefficient. Interactions between/among the solitons could be elastic or inelastic, determined by the wave number parameters. Interaction property could not be affected by the variable coefficient. Soliton stability is studied via the numerical calculation, which indicates that the solitons could only propagate steadily in a limited time.     

Nonlinear resonance between a soliton and Josephson plasma waves: experiment and theory

Resonant interaction of a soliton (Josephson fluxon) with its self-generated Josephson plasma waves is studied experimentally, numerically, and analytically. An externally applied magnetic field H forms a cos-like potential relief for the soliton in the annular junction. Soliton motion under the influence of the bias current leads to an emission of plasma waves, which gives rise to a resonance at a certain soliton velocity. This resonance on the current–voltage characteristics shows a clear backbending accompanied by a negative differential resistance. Our analysis quantitatively explains the observed effect.     

Femtosecond soliton attractors in fibres

It is shown that the attraction of femtosecond solitons in fibres is possible. Soliton attraction is calculated numerically, taking into account the fifth-order non-linearity in the refractive index of the fibre for the varying initial conditions. The role of the non-linear and dispersion higher-order effects and self-frequency shift in soliton attraction is also considered.     

Space-Curved Resonant Line Solitons in a Generalized(2 + 1)-Dimensional Fifth-Order KdV System

On the basis of N-soliton solutions, space-curved resonant line solitons are derived via a new constraint proposed here, for a generalized(2 + 1)-dimensional fifth-order KdV system. The dynamic properties of these new resonant line solitons are studied in detail. We then discuss the interaction between a resonance line soliton and a lump wave in greater detail. Our results highlight the distinctions between the generalized(2+1)-dimensional fifth-order KdV system and the classical type.     

Abundant different types of exact soliton solution to the (4+1)-dimensional Fokas and (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations

The prime objective of this paper is to explore the new exact soliton solutions to the higher-dimensional nonlinear Fokas equation and(2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations via a generalized exponential rational function(GERF) method. Many different kinds of exact soliton solution are obtained, all of which are completely novel and have never been reported in the literature before. The dynamical behaviors of some obtained exact soliton solutions are also demonstrated by a choice of appropriate values of the free constants that aid in understanding the nonlinear complex phenomena of such equations. These exact soliton solutions are observed in the shapes of different dynamical structures of localized solitary wave solutions, singular-form solitons, single solitons,double solitons, triple solitons, bell-shaped solitons, combo singular solitons, breather-type solitons,elastic interactions between triple solitons and kink waves, and elastic interactions between diverse solitons and kink waves. Because of the reduction in symbolic computation work and the additional constructed closed-form solutions, it is observed that the suggested technique is effective, robust, and straightforward. Moreover, several other types of higher-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation can be solved using the powerful GERF technique.     

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates near Feshbach resonance in external potential

We review our recent theoretical advances in the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates with tunable interactions using Feshbach resonance and external potential. A set of analytic and numerical methods for Gross-Pitaevskii equations are developed to study the nonlinear dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates. Analytically, we present the integrable conditions for the Gross-Pitaevskii equations with tunable interactions and external potential, and obtain a family of exact analytical solutions for one- and two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in one and two-dimensional cases. Then we apply these models to investigate the dynamics of solitons and collisions between two solitons. Numerically, the stability of the analytic exact solutions are checked and the phenomena, such as the dynamics and modulation of the ring dark soliton and vector-soliton, soliton conversion via Feshbach resonance, quantized soliton and vortex in quasi-two-dimensional are also investigated. Both the exact and numerical solutions show that the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates can be effectively controlled by the Feshbach resonance and external potential, which offer a good opportunity for manipulation of atomic matter waves and nonlinear excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates.     

Bound-State Soliton Solutions of the Nonlinear Schr?dinger Equation and Their Asymmetric Decompositions

We study the asymmetric decompositions of bound-state(BS) soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. Assuming that the BS solitons are split into multiple solitons with different displacements, we obtain more accurate decompositions compared to the symmetric decompositions. Through graphical techniques, the asymmetric decompositions are shown to overlap very well with the real trajectories of the BS soliton solutions.     

Soliton solutions,travelling wave solutions and conserved quantities for a three-dimensional soliton equation in plasma physics

Many physical systems can be successfully modelled using equations that admit the soliton solutions. In addition, equations with soliton solutions have a significant mathematical structure. In this paper, we study and analyze a three-dimensional soliton equation, which has applications in plasma physics and other nonlinear sciences such as fluid mechanics, atomic physics, biophysics, nonlinear optics, classical and quantum fields theories. Indeed, solitons and solitary waves have been observed in numerous situations and often dominate long-time behaviour. We perform symmetry reductions of the equation via the use of Lie group theory and then obtain analytic solutions through this technique for the very first time. Direct integration of the resulting ordinary differential equation is done which gives new analytic travelling wave solutions that consist of rational function, elliptic functions, elementary trigonometric and hyperbolic functions solutions of the equation. Besides, various solitonic solutions are secured with the use of a polynomial complete discriminant system and elementary integral technique. These solutions comprise dark soliton, doubly-periodic soliton, trigonometric soliton, explosive/blowup and singular solitons. We further exhibit the dynamics of the solutions with pictorial representations and discuss them. In conclusion, we contemplate conserved quantities for the equation under study via the standard multiplier approach in conjunction with the homotopy integral formula. We state here categorically and emphatically that all results found in this study as far as we know have not been earlier obtained and so are new.
