Integrable aspects and applications of a generalized inhomogeneous N-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system in plasmas and optical fibers via symbolic computation

For describing the general behavior of N fields propagating in inhomogeneous plasmas and optical fibers, a generalized N-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system is investigated with symbolic computation in this Letter. When the coefficient functions obey the Painlevé-integrable conditions, the (N+1)×(N+1) nonisospectral Lax pair associated with such a model is derived by means of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur formalism. Furthermore, the Darboux transformation is constructed so that it becomes exercisable to generate the multi-soliton solutions in a recursive manner. Through the graphical analysis of some exact analytic one- and two-soliton solutions, our discussions are focused on the envelope soliton excitation in time-dependent inhomogeneous plasmas and the optical pulse propagation with the constant (or distance-related) fiber gain/loss and phase modulation.     

Modulating the amplitude of dark soliton by scattering-length management in Bose-Einstein condensates

We present a family of soliton solutions of the quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent scattering length, by developing multiple-scale method combined with truncated Painlevé expansion. Then, by numerical calculating the solutions, it is shown that there exhibit two types of dark solitons—black soliton (the zero minimum amplitude at its center) and gray soliton (the minimum density does not drop to zero) in a repulsive condensate. Furthermore, we propose experimental protocols to realize the exchange between black and gray solitons by varying the scattering length via the Feshbach resonance in currently experimental conditions.     

Painlevé analysis and symmetry group for the coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

The Painlevé property for the coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation is verified with the WTC approach and new exact solutions of bell-type are constructed from standard truncated expansion. A symmetry transformation group theorem is also given out from a simple direct method.     

The generalized Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials and their properties

Rational solutions of the generalized second Painlevé hierarchy are classified. Representation of the rational solutions in terms of special polynomials, the generalized Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials, is introduced. Differential-difference relations satisfied by the polynomials are found. Hierarchies of differential equations related to the generalized second Painlevé hierarchy are derived. One of these hierarchies is a sequence of differential equations satisfied by the generalized Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials.     

The Self-Dual Einstein–Weyl Metric and Classical Solution of Painlevé VI

In the natural correspondence between the self-dual Bianchi type IX metrics and solutions of Painlevé VI, the self-dual Ricci-flat metrics or the nontrivial self-dual Einstein–Weyl metrics correspond to the classical solutions of Painlevé VI that determine isomonodromic deformations with reducible monodromy.     

Chirped and chirpfree soliton solutions of generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients

Using the F-expansion method, we systematically present exact solutions of the generalized nonlinear nonlinear Schrödinger equation with varying intermodal dispersion and nonlinear gain or loss. This approach allows us to obtain large variety of solutions in terms of Jacobi-elliptical and Weierstrass-elliptical functions. The chirped and unchirped spatiotemporal soliton solutions and trigonometric-function solutions have been also obtained as limiting cases. The dynamics of these spatiotemporal soliton is discussed in context of optical fiber communication. To visualize the propagation characteristics of chirp and unchirped dark-bright soliton solutions, few numerical simulations are given. It is found that wave profile of solitons depend on the group velocity dispersion and the gain or loss functions.     

On special solutions of second and fourth Painlevé hierarchies

In this Letter, we give special solutions of second and fourth Painlevé hierarchies derived by Gordoa, Joshi, and Pickering. We show that for certain choice of the parameters each nth member of these hierarchies has a special solution in terms of an nth order differential equation. Furthermore we derive a relation between these two hierarchies.     

Singularity analysis and integrability for a HNLS equation governing pulse propagation in a generic fiber optics

Taking into account many developments in fiber optics communications, we propose a higher nonlinear Schrödinger equation (HNLS) with variable coefficients, more general than that in [R. Essiambre, G.P. Agrawal, Opt. Commun. 131 (1996) 274], which governs the propagation of ultrashort pulses in a fiber optics with generic variable dispersion. The study of this equation is performed using the Painlevé test and the zero-curvature method. Also, we prove the equivalence between this equation and its anomalous integrable counterpart (the so-called Sasa-Satsuma equation). Finally, in view of its physical relevance, we present a soliton solution which represents the propagation of ultrashort pulses in a dispersion decreasing fiber.     

Dark soliton interaction of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice

We study the magnetic soliton dynamics of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice which results in an effective Hamiltonian of anisotropic pseudospin chain. An equation of nonlinear Schrödinger type is derived and exact magnetic soliton solutions are obtained analytically by means of Hirota method. Our results show that the critical external field is needed for creating the magnetic soliton in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. The soliton size, velocity and shape frequency can be controlled in practical experiment by adjusting the magnetic field. Moreover, the elastic collision of two solitons is investigated in detail.     

Integrability analysis of a conformal equation in relativity

In 1987 C. C. Dyer, G. C. McVittie, and L. M. Oattes derived the (two) field equations for shear-free, spherically symmetric perfect fluid spacetimes which admit a conformai symmetry. We use the techniques of the Lie and Painlevé analyses of differential equations to find solutions of these equations. The concept of a pseudo-partial Painlevé property is introduced for the first time which could assist in finding solutions to equations that do not possess the Painlevé property. The pseudo-partial Painlevé property throws light on the distinction between the classes of solutions found independently by P. Havas and M. Wyman. We find a solution for all values of a particular parameter for the first field equation and link it to the solution of the second equation. We indicate why we believe that the first field equation cannot be solved in general. Both techniques produce similar results and demonstrate the close relationship between the Lie and Painlevé analyses. We also show that both of the field equations of Dyeret al. may be reduced to the same Emden-Fowler equation of index two.     

A numerical methodology for the Painlevé equations

The six Painlevé transcendents P_I − P_VI have both applications and analytic properties that make them stand out from most other classes of special functions. Although they have been the subject of extensive theoretical investigations for about a century, they still have a reputation for being numerically challenging. In particular, their extensive pole fields in the complex plane have often been perceived as ‘numerical mine fields’. In the present work, we note that the Painlevé property in fact provides the opportunity for very fast and accurate numerical solutions throughout such fields. When combining a Taylor/Padé-based ODE initial value solver for the pole fields with a boundary value solver for smooth regions, numerical solutions become available across the full complex plane. We focus here on the numerical methodology, and illustrate it for the P_I equation. In later studies, we will concentrate on mathematical aspects of both the P_I and the higher Painlevé transcendents.     

Nonlinear nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems from a general discrete isomonodromy problem

Nonlinear nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems (DDS) whose continuum limits are the well-known Painlevé equations, have recently arisen in models of quantum gravity. The Painlevé equations are believed integrable because each is the isomonodromy condition for an associated linear differential equation. However, not every DDS with an integrable continuum limit is necessarily integrable. Which of the many discrete versions of the Painlevé equations inherit their integrability is not known. How to derive all their integrable discrete versions is also not known. We provide a systematic method of attacking these questions by giving a general discrete isomonodromy problem. Discrete versions of the first and second Painlevé equations are deduced from this general problem.     

Exact analytical solutions of three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-space modulation

By the generalized sub-equation expansion method and symbolic computation,this paper investigates the(3 + 1)dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-and space-dependent potential,time-dependent nonlinearity,and gain or loss.As a result,rich exact analytical solutions are obtained,which include bright and dark solitons,Jacobi elliptic function solutions and Weierstrass elliptic function solutions.With computer simulation,the main evolution features of some of these solutions are shown by some figures.Nonlinear dynamics of a soliton pulse is also investigated under the different regimes of soliton management.     

New Exact Periodic Solitary-Wave Solutions for New (2+1)-Dimensional KdV Equation

The extended homoclinic test function method is a kind of classic, efficient and well-developed method to solve nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper, with the help of this approach, we obtain new exact solutions (including kinky periodic solitary-wave solutions, periodic soliton solutions, and crosskink-wave solutions) for the new (2+1)-dimensional KdV equation. These results enrich the variety of the dynamics of higher-dimensional nonlinear wave field.     

Ion-acoustic dressed solitons in electron-positron-ion plasmas

Expanding the Sagdeev potential to include fourth-order nonlinearities of electric potential and integrating the resulting energy equation, an exact soliton solution is determined for ion-acoustic waves in an electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma system. This exact solution reduces to the dressed soliton solution obtained for the system using renormalization procedure in the reductive perturbation method (RPM), when Mach number (M) is expanded in terms of soliton velocity (λ) and terms up to order of λ² are retained in the analysis. Variation of shape, velocity, width and product (P) of amplitude (A) and square of width (W²) for the KdV soliton, core structure, dressed soliton, and exact soliton are graphically represented for different values of fractional positron concentration (p). It is found that for a given value of the fractional positron concentration (p) and amplitude of soliton, the velocity of the dressed soliton is faster and width is narrower than the KdV or exact soliton, and agrees qualitatively with the experimental observations of Ikezi et al. for small amplitude solitons in the plasma free from positron component. Among all these structures, the product P(AW²) is found to be lowest for the dressed soliton and it decreases as Mach number of soliton or fractional positron concentration in the plasma increases.     

Complex oscillator and Painlevé IV equation

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is a powerful tool for generating exactly solvable potentials departing from a given initial one. In this article the first- and second-order supersymmetric transformations will be used to obtain new exactly solvable potentials departing from the complex oscillator. The corresponding Hamiltonians turn out to be ruled by polynomial Heisenberg algebras. By applying a mechanism to reduce to second the order of these algebras, the connection with the Painlevé IV equation is achieved, thus giving place to new solutions for the Painlevé IV equation.     

Solitons for a generalized variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrdinger equation

In this paper,we investigate some exact soliton solutions for a generalized variable-coefficients nonlinear Schrdinger equation (NLS) with an arbitrary time-dependent linear potential which describes the dynamics of soliton solutions in quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensations. Under some reasonable assumptions,one-soliton and two-soliton solutions are constructed analytically by the Hirota method. From our results,some previous one-and two-soliton solutions for some NLS-type equations can be recovered by some appropriate selection of the various parameters. Some figures are given to demonstrate some properties of the one-and the two-soliton and the discussion about the integrability property and the Hirota method is given finally.     

Similarity solution and lie symmetry for a coupled nonlinear system

The Lie point symmetries of a set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are considered. The system is an extended version of the usual nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In the similarity variable deduced from the symmetry analysis, the system is equivalent to the Painlevé III in Ince's classification. By starting from a solution of the Painlevé equation, one can reproduce various classes of solutions of the original PDEs. Such solutions include both rational and progressive types or a combination of the two.
