Uniquely ergodic property of minimal probability measure in positive definite Lagrangian systems

Mane conjectured that every minimal measure in the generic Lagrangian systems is uniquely ergodic. In this paper, we will show that the answer to the Mane's conjecture is negative by analyzing the structure of the supports of minimal probability measures for some kinds of the Lagrangian systems.     

Traveling Wave Solutions of a Fourth-order Generalized Dispersive and Dissipative Equation

In this paper, we consider a generalized nonlinear forth-order dispersive-dissipative equation with a nonlocal strong generic delay kernel, which describes wave propagation in generalized nonlinear dispersive, dissipation and quadratic diffusion media. By using geometric singular perturbation theory and Fredholm alternative theory, we get a locally invariant manifold and use fast-slow system to construct the desire heteroclinic orbit. Furthermore we construct a traveling wave solution for the nonlinear equation. Some known results in the literature are generalized.     

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.     

Scattering of solitons for coupled wave-particle equations

We establish a long time soliton asymptotics for a nonlinear system of wave equation coupled to a charged particle. The coupled system has a six-dimensional manifold of soliton solutions. We show that in the large time approximation, any solution, with an initial state close to the solitary manifold, is a sum of a soliton and a dispersive wave which is a solution to the free wave equation. It is assumed that the charge density satisfies Wiener condition which is a version of Fermi Golden Rule, and that the momenta of the charge distribution vanish up to the fourth order. The proof is based on a development of the general strategy introduced by Buslaev and Perelman: symplectic projection in Hilbert space onto the solitary manifold, modulation equations for the parameters of the projection, and decay of the transversal component.     

Decay and Scattering of Small Solutions of Pure Power NLS in ℝ with p > 3 and with a Potential

We prove decay and scattering of solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) in ? with pure power nonlinearity with exponent 3 < p < 5 when the initial datum is small in Σ (bounded energy and variance) in the presence of a linear inhomogeneity represented by a linear potential that is a real‐valued Schwarz function. We assume absence of discrete modes. The proof is analogous to the one for the translation‐invariant equation. In particular, we find appropriate operators commuting with the linearization. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

On certain conjectures on invariant measures on semigroups

A conjecture stating that a locally compact semigroup admits a twosided semi-invariant measure iff it contains a kernel which is a unimodular group, is proven. Also a conjecture stating that the support of an r^*-invariant measure is a left group, is proven under the condition that for some a ε F (=support of the measure), aF is right cancellative. Moreover four types of invariance for regular probability measures are shown to be equivalent. Also a new proof of the equivalence of a two-sided semi-invariant probability measure and the existence of a kernel which is a compact group, is given.     

Envelope soliton resonances and broer-kaup-type non-madelung fluids

We derive an extended nonlinear dispersion for envelope soliton equations and also find generalized equations of the nonlinear Schr?dinger (NLS) type associated with this dispersion. We show that space dilatations imply hyperbolic rotation of the pair of dual equations, the NLS and resonant NLS (RNLS) equations. For the RNLS equation, in addition to the Madelung fluid representation, we find an alternative non-Madelung fluid system in the form of a Broer-Kaup system. Using the bilinear form for the RNLS equation, we construct the soliton resonances for the Broer-Kaup system and find the corresponding integrals of motion and existence conditions for the soliton resonance and also a geometric interpretation in terms of a pseudo-Riemannian surface of constant curvature. This approach can be extended to construct a resonance version and the corresponding Broer-Kaup-type representation for any envelope soliton equation. As an example, we derive a new modified Broer-Kaup system from the modified NLS equation.     

A System of ODEs for a Perturbation of a Minimal Mass Soliton

We study soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with a saturated nonlinearity. NLS with such a nonlinearity is known to possess a minimal mass soliton. We consider a small perturbation of a minimal mass soliton and identify a system of ODEs extending the work of Comech and Pelinovsky (Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 56:1565–1607, 2003), which models the behavior of the perturbation for short times. We then provide numerical evidence that under this system of ODEs there are two possible dynamical outcomes, in accord with the conclusions of Pelinovsky et al. (Phys. Rev. E 53(2):1940–1953, 1996). Generically, initial data which supports a soliton structure appears to oscillate, with oscillations centered on a stable soliton. For initial data which is expected to disperse, the finite dimensional dynamics initially follow the unstable portion of the soliton curve.     

Exact soliton solution for the fourth‐order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with generalized cubic‐quintic nonlinearity

In this paper, we investigate the fourth‐order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with parameterized nonlinearity that is generalized from regular cubic‐quintic formulation in optics and ultracold physics scenario. We find the exact solution of the fourth‐order generalized cubic‐quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation through modified F‐expansion method, identifying the particular bright soliton behavior under certain external experimental setting, with the system's particular nonlinear features demonstrated.

The Gabriel-Roiter measure

The first Brauer-Thrall conjecture asserts that algebras of bounded representation type have finite representation type. This conjecture was solved by Roiter in 1968. The induction scheme which he used in his proof prompted Gabriel to introduce an invariant which we propose to call Gabriel-Roiter measure. This invariant is defined for any finite length module and it will be studied in detail in this paper. Whereas Roiter and Gabriel were dealing with algebras of bounded representation type only, it is the purpose of the present paper to demonstrate the relevance of the Gabriel-Roiter measure for algebras in general, in particular for those of infinite representation type.     

Instability of the finite‐difference split‐step method applied to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. I. standing soliton

We consider numerical instability that can be observed in simulations of solitons of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) by a split‐step method (SSM) where the linear part of the evolution is solved by a finite‐difference discretization. The von Neumann analysis predicts that this method is unconditionally stable on the background of a constant‐amplitude plane wave. However, simulations show that the method can become unstable on the background of a soliton. We present an analysis explaining this instability. Both this analysis and the features and threshold of the instability are substantially different from those of the Fourier SSM, which computes the linear part of the NLS by a spectral discretization. For example, the modes responsible for the numerical instability are not similar to plane waves, as for the Fourier SSM or, more generally, in the von Neumann analysis. Instead, they are localized at the sides of the soliton. This also makes them different from “physical” (as opposed to numerical) unstable modes of nonlinear waves, which (the modes) are localized around the “core” of a solitary wave. Moreover, the instability threshold for thefinite‐difference split‐step method is considerably relaxed compared with that for the Fourier split‐step. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rational and semi‐rational solutions of a nonlocal (2 + 1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the fully parity‐time (PT) symmetric nonlocal (2 + 1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with respect to x and y. By using Hirota's bilinear method, we derive the N‐soliton solutions of the nonlocal NLS equation. By using the resulting N‐soliton solutions and employing long wave limit method, we derive its nonsingular rational solutions and semi‐rational solutions. The rational solutions act as the line rogue waves. The semi‐rational solutions mean different types of combinations in rogue waves, breathers, and periodic line waves. Furthermore, in order to easily understand the dynamic behaviors of the nonlocal NLS equation, we display some graphics to analyze the characteristics of these solutions.     

Ergodicity for a weakly damped stochastic non-linear Schrödinger equation

We study a damped stochastic non-linear Schr?dinger (NLS) equation driven by an additive noise. It is white in time and smooth in space. Using a coupling method, we establish convergence of the Markov transition semi-group toward a unique invariant probability measure. This kind of method was originally developed to prove exponential mixing for strongly dissipative equations such as the Navier-Stokes equations. We consider here a weakly dissipative equation, the damped nonlinear Schr?dinger equation in the one-dimensional cubic case. We prove that the mixing property holds and that the rate of convergence to equilibrium is at least polynomial of any power.     

Long‐Time Asymptotics for the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Nonzero Boundary Conditions at Infinity and Asymptotic Stage of Modulational Instability

We characterize the long‐time asymptotic behavior of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation on the line with symmetric, nonzero boundary conditions at infinity by using a variant of the recently developed inverse scattering transform (IST) for such problems and by employing the nonlinear steepest‐descent method of Deift and Zhou for oscillatory Riemann‐Hilbert problems. First, we formulate the IST over a single sheet of the complex plane without introducing the uniformization variable that was used by Biondini and Kova?i? in 2014. The solution of the focusing NLS equation with nonzero boundary conditions is thereby associated with a matrix Riemann‐Hilbert problem whose jumps grow exponentially with time for certain portions of the continuous spectrum. This growth is the signature of the well‐known modulational instability within the context of the IST. We then eliminate this growth by performing suitable deformations of the Riemann‐Hilbert problem in the complex spectral plane. The results demonstrate that the solution of the focusing NLS equation with nonzero boundary conditions remains bounded at all times. Moreover, we show that, asymptotically in time, the xt ‐plane decomposes into two types of regions: a left far‐field region and a right far‐field region, where the solution equals the condition at infinity to leading order up to a phase shift, and a central region in which the asymptotic behavior is described by slowly modulated periodic oscillations. Finally, we show how, in the latter region, the modulus of the leading‐order solution, initially obtained as a ratio of Jacobi theta functions, can be reduced to the well‐known elliptic solutions of the focusing NLS equation. These results provide the first characterization of the long‐time behavior of generic perturbations of a constant background in a modulationally unstable medium. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A higher‐order PDE‐based image registration approach

This paper addresses the problem of image registration with higher‐order partial differential equation (PDE) methods. From the study of existing affine‐linear and non‐linear methods, a new framework is proposed that unifies common image registration methods within a generic formulation. Currently image registration strategies are classified into either affine‐linear or non‐linear methods subject to the underlying transformations. The new approach combines both strategies to obtain proper approximations which are invariant under global geometrical distortion (shearing), anisotropic resolution (scale changes), as well as rotation and translation. To achieve this favourable property, a modified gradient flow approach is proposed which uses an operator with a kernel consisting of affine‐linear transformations. An approximation with finite differences leads to a large singular linear system. The pseudo‐inverse solution of this system can be computed efficiently by augmenting the singular system to a regular system. Numerical experiments show the improvements compared to unmodified gradient flow approaches. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On optimal solutions of general continuous-singular stochastic control problem of McKean-Vlasov type

In this paper, we establish general necessary optimality conditions for stochastic continuous-singular control of McKean-Vlasov type equations. The coefficients of the state equation depend on the state of the solution process as well as of its probability law and the control variable. The coefficients of the system are nonlinear and depend explicitly on the absolutely continuous component of the control. The control domain under consideration is not assumed to be convex. The proof of our main result is based on the first- and second-order derivatives, with respect to measure in Wasserstein space of probability measures, and by using variational method.     

Instability of the finite‐difference split‐step method applied to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. II. moving soliton

We analyze a mechanism and features of a numerical instability (NI) that can be observed in simulations of moving solitons of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS). This NI is completely different than the one for the standing soliton. We explain how this seeming violation of the Galilean invariance of the NLS is caused by the finite‐difference approximation of the spatial derivative. Our theory extends beyond the von Neumann analysis of numerical methods; in fact, it critically relies on the coefficients in the equation for the numerical error being spatially localized. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
