Abstract

We investigate the dynamics arising out of the propagation of light pulses with different polarizations through a condensate (referred to as a constant background field) with cross coupling described by a coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation(NLSE) type equation. We then employ Gauge and Darboux transformation approach to bring out the rich dynamics arising out of the background field and cross coupling. The collisional dynamics of bright solitons is found to be inelastic. The constant background field is found to facilitate the periodic localization of light pulses during propagation. We have also unearthed breathers, bright-bright, bright-dark and dark-bright solitons of the coupled NLSE. While the amplitude of breathers oscillate with time as predicted, their maximum(or minimum) amplitude is found to remain a constant and the addition of cross coupling only contributes to the rapid fluctuations in its amplitude over a period of time. In addition, the reinforcement of cross coupling in the presence of constant wave field facilitates the interference of light pulses leading to interesting pattern formation among bright-bright, bright-dark and dark-bright solitons. The highlight of the results is that one obtains various localized excitations like breathers, bright and dark solitons by simply manipulating the amplitude of the constant wave field.

Rogue-like waves from collision of mKdV solitons

Interactions of two solitary waves with an up and a down orientation in the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation are shown to produce rogue-like waves. For waves that asymptotically vanish, the maximum ratio between the height of the interaction profile and the height of the tallest incoming wave is 2.41 when the waves have approximately equal speeds, and this ratio decreases to 2 when the speed ratio is 1.5. For waves that approach a non-zero constant at infinity, the same ratio reaches a maximum of 2.65 when the speed ratio of the waves is 6.32.

On B\"acklund transformations preserving the Darboux integrability of hyperbolic equations

This paper deals with two kinds of B\"acklund transformations for scalar hyperbolic partial differential equations. We prove that both these types of transformations map solutions of a Darboux integrable equation into solutions of, generally speaking, another but also Darboux integrable equation. The latter fact can be used to roughly check the completeness of a list of Darboux integrable equations. To illustrate this, we apply the above transformations to several equations from a well-known list of Darboux integrable equations and, as a result, obtain a Darboux integrable equation which is absent in this list, but is already known at present. As a generalization of the last equation, we construct a family of Darboux integrable equations that is parametrized by three arbitrary functions, each of which depends on two arguments. This family is probably new.

Complex singularities for Burgers' equation with piecewise-continuous initial conditions

There is a body of research devoted to understanding how complex singularities of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (pdes) spontaneously emerge at $t=0^+$ and propagate for $t>0$, and how their behaviour affects the solution on the real axis. Despite the importance of the small-time limit in these studies, there is still a lack of understanding of how complex singularities are born at $t=0^+$, including for initial conditions that are not analytic functions of the spatial variable. In this paper, we use Burgers' equation as a prototype nonlinear pde and study the complex-plane singularities for initial conditions that are piecewise smooth. Using matched asymptotic expansions, we show how infinitely many singularities emerge from points of discontinuity in a pattern that can be described using branches of the Lambert-$W$ function. For various initial conditions, we observe how these singularities rearrange themselves to align with the appropriate exactly-described long-time behaviour, including sigmoid-shaped travelling waves, constant-area (triangular wave) similarity solutions and $N$-wave solutions. In terms of Burgers' equation, our small-time asymptotic analysis of the singularity propagation for piecewise-continuous initial conditions illustrates the types of generic behaviours that arise for inner regions when diffusion dominates advection. More generally, this work is a step towards understanding complex-plane behaviour of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations with non-analytic initial conditions.
