Nonautonomous solitary-wave solutions of the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients

A class of analytical solitary-wave solutions to the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients and potentials are constructed using the similarity transformation technique. Constraints for the dispersion coefficient, the cubic and quintic nonlinearities, the external potential, and the gain (loss) coefficient are presented at the same time. Various shapes of analytical solitary-wave solutions which have important applications of physical interest are studied in detail, such as the solutions in Feshbach resonance management with harmonic potentials, Faraday-type waves in the optical lattice potentials, and localized solutions supported by the Gaussian-shaped nonlinearity. The stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.     

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.     

(2+1)-Dimensional Spatial Localized Modes in Cubic-Quintic Nonlinear Media with the PT-Symmetric Potentials

We obtain exact spatial localized mode solutions of a(2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with constant diffraction and cubic-quintic nonlinearity in PT-symmetric potential, and study the linear stability of these solutions. Based on these results, we further derive exact spatial localized mode solutions in a cubic-quintic medium with harmonic and PT-symmetric potentials. Moreover, the dynamical behaviors of spatial localized modes in the exponential diffraction decreasing waveguide and the periodic distributed amplification system are investigated.     

Evolution of local ideal helical perturbations in cylindrical plasma

The evolution of a local helical perturbation and its stability property for arbitrary magnetic shear configurations are investigated for the case of in cylindrical geometry. An analytic stability criterion has been obtained which predicts that a strong magnetic shear will enhance the instability in the positive shear region but enhance the stability in the negative shear region. The perturbations with the poloidal and toroidal perturbation mode numbers m/n=1/1 is most unstable due to the stabilizing terms increasing with m. For m/n=1/1 local perturbations in the conventional positive magnetic shear (PMS) configurations, a larger q_{min} exhibits a weaker shear in the core and is favourable to the stability, while in the reversed magnetic shear (RMS) configurations, a larger q_0 corresponds to a stronger positive shear in the middle region, which enhances the instability. No instabilities are found for m≥2 local perturbations. The stability for RMS configuration is not better than that for PMS configuration.     

Degree distribution of random birth-and-death network with network size decline

In this paper,we provide a general method to obtain the exact solutions of the degree distributions for random birthand-death network(RBDN) with network size decline.First,by stochastic process rules,the steady state transformation equations and steady state degree distribution equations are given in the case of m ≥ 3 and 0 p 1/2,then the average degree of network with n nodes is introduced to calculate the degree distributions.Specifically,taking m = 3 for example,we explain the detailed solving process,in which computer simulation is used to verify our degree distribution solutions.In addition,the tail characteristics of the degree distribution are discussed.Our findings suggest that the degree distributions will exhibit Poisson tail property for the declining RBDN.

The possible stable geometrical configurations and the relative stabilities of the lowest-lying isomers of copper-doped gold clusters,Au n Cu (n=1-7),are investigated using the density functional theory.Several low-lying isomers are determined.The results indicate that the ground-state Au n Cu clusters have planar structures for n=1-7.The stability trend of the Au n Cu clusters (n=1-7),shows that odd-numbered Au n Cu clusters are more stable than the neighbouring even-numbered ones,thereby indicating the Au 5 Cu clusters are magic cluster with high chemical stability.     

Rational Solutions for the Fokas System

Fokas system is the simplest(2+1)-dimensional extension of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation(Eq.(2),Inverse Problems 10(1994) L19-L22).By using the bilinear transformation method,general rational solutions for the Fokas system are given explicitly in terms of two order-N determinants T_n(n = 0,1) whose elements m_(i,j)~(n)(n = 0,1;1≤i,j≤N)are involved with order-n_i and order-n_j derivatives.When N = 1,three kinds of rational solution,i.e.,fundamental lump and fundamental rogue wave(RW) with n_1 = 1,and higher-order rational solution with n_1 2,are illustrated by explicit formulas from T_n(n = 0,1) and pictures.The fundamental RW is a line RW possessing a line profile on(x,y)-plane,which arises from a constant background with at t 0 and then disappears into the constant background gradually at t 0.The fundamental lump is a traveling wave,which can preserve its profile during the propagation on(x,y)-plane.When N ≥2 and n_1 =n_2=...=n_n = 1,several specific multi-rational solutions are given graphically.

Abundant Symmetries and Exact Compacton—Like Structures in the Two—Parameter Family of the Estevez—Mansfield—Clarkson Equations

The two-parameter family of Estevez-Mansfield-Clarkson equations with fully nonlinear dispersion (called E(m,n) equations),(uz^m)zzτ γ(uz^nuτ)z uττ=0 which is a generalized model of the integrable Estevez-Mansfield-Clarkson equation uzzzτ γ(uzuzτ uzzuτ) uττ=0,is presented.Five types of symmetries of the E9m,n) equation are obtained by making use of the direct reduction method.Using these obtained reductions and some simple transformations,we obtain the solitary-like wave solutions of E(1,n) equation.In addition,we also find the compacton solutions (which are solitary waves with the property that after colliding with other compacton solutions,they reemerge with the same coherent shape) of E(3,2) equation and E(m,m-1) for its potentials,say,uz,and compacton-like solutions of E(m,m-1) equations,respectively.Whether there exist compacton-like solutions of the other E(m,n) equation with m≠n 1 is still an open problem.

The approximate analytical solutions of the Schrdinger equation for the Eckart potential are presented for the arbitrary angular momentum by using a new approximation of the centrifugal term. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wavefunctions are obtained for different values of screening parameter. The numerical examples are presented and the results are in good agreement with the values in the literature. Three special cases, i.e., s-wave, ξ = λ = 1, and β = 0, are investigated.

Based on these results, we further derive exact spatial localized mode solutions in a cubic-quintic medium with harmonic and PT-symmetric potentials. Moreover, the dynamical behaviors of spatial localized modes in the exponential diffraction decreasing waveguide and the periodic distributed amplification system are investigated.     

Spatiotemporal self-similar waves for the (3 + 1)-dimensional inhomogeneous cubic-quintic nonlinear medium

Spatiotemporal self-similar waves of the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, describing propagation of optical pulses in a cubic-quintic nonlinear medium with inhomogeneous dispersion and gain, are derived. A one-to-one correspondence between such self-similar waves and solutions of the constant-coefficient cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation exists when two certain compatibility conditions are satisfied. Under these conditions, we discuss dynamical behaviors of self-similar waves in dispersion decreasing fiber.     

Stability criterion for dissipative soliton solutions of the one-, two-, and three-dimensional complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equations

The generation and nonlinear dynamics of multidimensional optical dissipative solitonic pulses are examined. The variational method is extended to complex dissipative systems, in order to obtain steady state solutions of the (D + 1)-dimensional complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (D = 1, 2, 3). A stability criterion is established fixing a domain of dissipative parameters for stable steady state solutions. Following numerical simulations, evolution of any input pulse from this domain leads to stable dissipative solitons.     

Heavily-chirped solitary pulses in the normal dispersion region: New solutions of the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

A new type of the heavily-chirped solitary pulse solutions of the nonlinear cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation has been found. The methodology developed provides for a systematic way to find the approximate but highly accurate analytical solutions of this equation with the generalized nonlinearities within the normal dispersion region. It is demonstrated that these solitary pulses have the extra-broadened parabolic-top or fingerlike spectra and allow compressing with more than a hundredfold growth of the pulse peak power. The obtained solutions explain the energy scalable regimes in the fiber and solid-state oscillators operating within the normal dispersion region and promise to achieve microjoules femtosecond pulses at MHz repetition rates.     

Stable vortex tori in the three-dimensional cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation

We demonstrate the existence of stable toroidal dissipative solitons with the inner phase field in the form of rotating spirals, corresponding to vorticity S=0, 1, and 2, in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity. The stable solitons easily self-trap from pulses with embedded vorticity. The stability is corroborated by accurate computation of growth rates for perturbation eigenmodes. The results provide the first example of stable vortex tori in a 3D dissipative medium, as well as the first example of higher-order tori (with S=2) in any nonlinear medium. It is found that all stable vortical solitons coexist in a large domain of the parameter space; in smaller regions, there coexist stable solitons with either S=0 and S=1, or S=1 and S=2.

Nonlinear tunneling effect in the (2+1)-dimensional cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients

By means of the similarity transformation, we obtain exact solutions of the(2+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which describes thepropagation of optical beams in a cubic-quintic nonlinear medium with inhomogeneousdispersion and gain. A one-to-one correspondence between such exact solutions andsolutions of the constant-coefficient cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation existswhen two certain compatibility conditions are satisfied. Under these conditions, wediscuss nonlinear tunneling effect of self-similar solutions. Considering the fluctuationof the fiber parameter in real application, the exact balance conditions do not satisfy,and then we perform direct numerical analysis with initial 5% white noise for the brightsimilariton passing through the diffraction barrier and well. Numerical calculationsindicate stable propagation of the bright similariton over tens of diffraction lengths.     

Two-dimensional matter-wave solitons and vortices in competing cubic-quintic nonlinear lattices

The nonlinear lattice — a new and nonlinear class of periodic potentials — was recently introduced to generate various nonlinear localized modes. Several attempts failed to stabilize two-dimensional (2D) solitons against their intrinsic critical collapse in Kerr media. Here, we provide a possibility for supporting 2D matter-wave solitons and vortices in an extended setting — the cubic and quintic model — by introducing another nonlinear lattice whose period is controllable and can be different from its cubic counterpart, to its quintic nonlinearity, therefore making a fully “nonlinear quasi-crystal”.A variational approximation based on Gaussian ansatz is developed for the fundamental solitons and in particular, their stability exactly follows the inverted Vakhitov–Kolokolov stability criterion, whereas the vortex solitons are only studied by means of numerical methods. Stability regions for two types of localized mode — the fundamental and vortex solitons — are provided. A noteworthy feature of the localized solutions is that the vortex solitons are stable only when the period of the quintic nonlinear lattice is the same as the cubic one or when the quintic nonlinearity is constant, while the stable fundamental solitons can be created under looser conditions. Our physical setting (cubic-quintic model) is in the framework of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation or nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the predicted localized modes thus may be implemented in Bose–Einstein condensates and nonlinear optical media with tunable cubic and quintic nonlinearities.     

The similarity of interactions between （3＋1）D spatiotemporal optical solitons in both the dispersive medium with cubic-quintic nonlinearity and the saturable medium

By making use of the split-step Fourier method, this paper numerically simulates dynamical behaviors, including repulsion, fusion, scattering and spiraling of colliding (3+1)D spatiotemporal solitons in both the dispersive medium with cubic-quintic and the saturable medium. Careful comparison of the colliding behaviors in these two media is presented. Although the origin of the nonlinearities is different in these two media, the obtained results show that the dynamical behaviors are very similar. This presents additional evidence to support the supposition of universality of interactions between solitons.
