Abstract

We study the dynamics of a probe soliton propagating in an optical fiber and exchanging energy in fast collisions with a random sequence of pump solitons. The energy exchange is induced by Raman scattering or by cubic nonlinear loss/gain. We show that the equation describing the dynamics of the probe soliton's amplitude has the same form as the equation for the local space average of energy dissipation in random cascade models in turbulence. We characterize the statistics of the probe soliton's amplitude by the τ_{q} exponents from multifractal theory and by the Cramér function S(x). We find that the n-th moment of the two-time correlation function and the bit-error-rate contribution from amplitude decay exhibit power-law behavior as functions of propagation distance, where the exponents can be expressed in terms of τ_{q} or S(x).

Solitons in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the pseudo-Raman term, anti-diffusion gain and nonlinear loss

We introduce a nonconservative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) which includes additional nonlinear terms accounting for the pseudo-stimulated-Raman-scattering (pseudo-SRS) effect and cubic loss. An essentially novel feature of the model is the linear anti-diffusion gain, which leads to the obvious blow-up in the infinite or spatially periodic system. We consider the absorptive boundary conditions, which suppress the blow-up driven by effective convective instability in the setup. The NSLE model is derived, in the extended adiabatic approximation, from the underlying Zakharov system, which includes the viscosity term acting on its low-frequency component and the anti-diffusion gain in the high-frequency (HF) one. The latter term appears if the expansion, with respect to the deviation of the wavenumber, is performed not around the minimum-loss point (as in the usual situation), but around a maximum-loss point. Dynamics of moving solitons in the model is addressed by means of analytical and numerical methods. The sech approximation for the soliton predicts it as a stable fixed point (FP) of the system of balance equations for the HF norm and wave momentum, derived in the moving reference frame. The FP attraction basin is identified too. The predictions are corroborated by direct simulations of the full NSLE with the absorptive boundary conditions.

Multistability and Juggling States in Frustrated Kuramoto Oscillators on Ring Networks

We study the properties of matrix coupled oscillators in ring networks and show that the system supports several families of synchronized clustered solutions. One of these families is characterized by consecutive oscillators belonging to distinct clusters, called alternate ordering, with two classes of solutions. The first consists of one or two static clusters, that lock on phases that depend on the coupling parameters, despite the non-zero natural oscillation frequency. The second one is comprised of clusters that rotate rigidly. The number of clusters depends on the neighbor connectivity. We also investigated sequential ordered clusters and showed that the constraints imposed by the interface oscillators imposes additional restrictions to equilibrium configurations. Although some of these solutions are stable, their basins of attraction depend on model parameters: when the system is initialized with random phases, the oscillators tend to organize themselves into dynamical clusters whose interfaces move along the ring. The oscillators within each cluster remain close to one of the stable phase configurations, while particles are exchanged at the interfaces. When interfaces moving in opposite directions collide, the corresponding clusters annihilate, until a state with interfaces moving in a common direction is reached.

A theory for detecting the Turing instability on static and temporal multiplex networks

The purpose of this work is to introduce and discuss a general framework for performing a linear instability analysis on multiplex networks, in the absence of inter-layer diffusion, with the specific motivation of detecting the Turing instability. The formalism itself is presented in full generality for $m$-unknowns, each of which arise as solutions of non-autonomous reaction-diffusion equations, on $n$-node temporal multiplex networks. In addition, we identify a class of multiplex networks for which the Laplacian matrices commute. In this setting analytical progress can be made and the explicit inequalities, governing instability, are derived. In order to explore our formalism we apply it to the specific example of a two-species predator-prey model on archipelagos. Here nodes are interpreted as islands and edges correspond to the transportation network for each species. Moreover, the non-autonomous setting is used to model a variety of natural phenomena.
