Coupled quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in a generalized elastic solid

The two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation is used to describe the propagation of an intense laser beam through a medium with Kerr nonlinearity. Coupled two-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equations are used to describe the interaction of electromagnetic waves with different polarizations in nonlinear optics. In this chapter, we solve these equations by imposing a quadratic condition on the related argument functions and using their symmetry transformations. More complete families of exact solutions of this type are obtained, many of which are periodic, quasi-periodic, aperiodic, and singular solutions that may have practical significance. The Davey–Stewartson equations are used to describe the long time evolution of three-dimensional packets of surface waves. Assuming that the argument functions are quadratic in spatial variables, we find various exact solutions for the Davey–Stewartson equations.

The existence of solutions with localized solitary wave structures is one of the significant characteristics of nonlinear integrable systems. Darboux transformation (DT) is a well-known method for constructing multi-soliton solutions, using a type of localized solitary wave, of integrable systems, but there are still no reports on extending DT techniques to construct such solitary wave solutions of fractional integrable models. This article takes the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations with conformable fractional derivatives as an example to illustrate the feasibility of extending the DT and generalized DT (GDT) methods to construct symmetric and asymmetric solitary wave solutions for fractional integrable systems. Specifically, the traditional n-fold DT and the first-, second-, and third-step GDTs are extended for the fractional CNLS equations. Based on the extended GDTs, explicit solutions with symmetric/asymmetric soliton and soliton–rogon (solitrogon) spatial structures of the fractional CNLS equations are obtained. This study found that the symmetric solitary wave solutions of the integer-order CNLS equations exhibit asymmetry in the fractional order case.

We investigate the generation of breathers, solitons, and rogue waves of the quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (QNLSE) on uniform and elliptical backgrounds. The QNLSE is the general nonlinear Schrodinger equation that includes all terms up to the fifth-order dispersion. We use Darboux transformation to construct initial conditions for the dynamical generation of localized high-intensity optical waves. The condition for the breather-to-soliton conversion is provided with the analysis of soliton intensity profiles. We discover a new class of higher-order solutions in which Jacobi elliptic functions are set as background seed solutions of the QNLSE. We also introduce a method for generating a new class of rogue waves—the periodic rogue waves—based on the matching of the periodicity of higher-order breathers with the periodicity of the background dnoidal wave.

The modulation of a one-dimensional weakly non-linear quasimonochromatic ion acoustic plasma wave (the carrier) is considered. It is well known that the carrier is modulationally unstable for wavenumbers k larger than a critical wavenumber kc, and that when k is not near kc the modulations of the carrier are governed by a non-linear Schrodinger (NS) equation. The author shows that when k is near kc, and under certain assumptions, the modulations are governed by a modified form of the NS equation that involves higher-order non-linearities, and that the correct critical wavenumber for marginal modulational instability is slightly different from kc.

A perturbation theory for the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations is developed to investigate the effect of the background radiation on the soliton amplitude, frequency and polarization angle. By resorting to the theory of the inverse scattering transform, it is shown that the background radiation can be taken into account by evaluating the off diagonal terms of the scattering matrix associated with the coupled NLS equations. The theory is applied to the characterization of the soliton amplitude decrease observed in the propagation in the presence of loss and periodical amplification.

In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann method for convection-diffusion equation with source term is applied directly to solve some important nonlinear complex equations, including nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, coupled NLS equations, Klein-Gordon equation and coupled Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations, by using complex-valued distribution function and relaxation time. Detailed simulations of these equations are carried out. Numerical results agree well with the analytical solutions, which show that the lattice Boltzmann method is an effective numerical solver for complex nonlinear systems.

The concept of non-linear pulse is a symptom of such physical phenomenon inherently non linear, and its history is intimately linked to the development of theories of equations of nonlinear waves. As such, we now know that the non-linear pulses occur naturally in most nonlinear systems. This paper is devoted to modeling the evolution of nonlinear pulse during its propagation in a nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC) in terms of intermodal dispersion (IMD) in order to show the impact of these phenomena on the propagation in the (NLDC). In this case modeling the propagation in a nonlinear medium is governed by a system of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations (CNLSE). This is a mathematical model using to describe the (NDLC). The study is focused on the propagation of fundamental solitary pulses. Key words: Nonlinear optic, dispersive medium, nonlinear medium, modeling, temporal widening, optical coupler, nonlinear pulses, nonlinear fiber, coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation (CNLSE), intermodal dispersion (IMD).

We use a statistical approach to investigate the modulational instability (Benjamin-Feir instability) in several nonlinear discrete systems: the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation, the Ablowitz-Ladik equation, and the discrete deformable NLS equation. We derive a kinetic equation for the two-point correlation function and use a Wigner-Moyal transformation to write it in a mixed space-wave-number representation. We perform a linear stability analysis of the resulting equation and discuss the obtained integral stability condition using several forms of the initial unperturbed spectrum (Lorentzian and δ-spectrum). We compare the results with the continuum limit (the NLS equation) and with previous results.

The field experiment is conducted from April 16, 2005 to July 20, 2005 at Wenchang area east of Hainan Island (19°35'N, 112°E) of China. Internal wave packets are observed frequently with thermistor chains during the experiment. Meanwhile, internal waves are also detected from a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image on June 19, 2005 and several other moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) images near a mooring position. The distance between the positive and negative peaks induced by the internal wave can be obtained from satellite images. Combined with remote sensing images and in situ data, a new method to inverse the amplitude of the internal wave is proposed based on a corrected nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. Two relationships are given between the peak-to-peak distance and the characteristic wavelength of the internal wave for different nonlinear and dispersion coefficients. Based on the satellite images, the amplitude inversion of the internal waves are carried out with the NLS equation as well as the KdV equation. The calculated amplitudes of the NLS equation are close to the observation amplitude which promise the NLS equation a reliable method.

An integrable model for stable:unstable wave coupling phenomena

In this paper, the quintic derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation is investigated into two main aspects. Firstly, a series of solutions of this equation are derived. More specifically, the singular solitons and dark solitons are obtained by using the ansatz method. The explicit power series solutions for the equation has also been constructed by employing power series method. Secondly, linear stability analysis is applied to estimate the stability of the equation. Finally, all solutions are presented via 3-dimensional plots with choices some special parameters to show the dynamic characteristics.

The stability of plane wave interactions of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations can be analyzed within a bisymplectic framework. This framework is a generalization of the Hamiltonian formulation. The current study considers a family of CNLS equations that are used as a prototype system for studying the combined interaction of unstable and stable component waves in optics. This popular family has a drawback when cast into a bisymplectic framework: the determinant controlling various types of fiber regime is zero. To solve this problem, it is proposed that a limit is taken from a more general CNLS family to the family in question. This method is then bench-marked against known stability results for the simple two plane wave interactions when amplitudes are equal and are found to agree. It is then applied to two wave interactions with unequal amplitudes as well as three and four wave interactions. The latter interactions for this particular system are not spectrally stable. By suggesting a slightly larger family of CNLS equations, it is illustrated that spectral stability can occur. This adapted prototype system may be of use in optics; in particular, to show that long-wave stability is possible given a judicious choice of parameter values.

The NLS(n, n) equation: Multi-hump compactons and their stability and interaction scenarios

We study the amplitude modulation of a symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity through the use of the reductive perturbation method by introducing a new set of slow variables. The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with seventh order nonlinearity is obtained as the evolution equation for the lowest order term in the perturbation expansion. It is also shown that the NLS equation with seventh order nonlinearity assumes an envelope type of solitary wave solution.
