Abstract

We study bit-parallel-wavelength (BPW) pulse transmission in multi-channel single-mode optical fiber links for high-performance computer networks. We develop a theory of the pulse shepherding effect earlier discovered in numerical simulations, and also describe the families of the BPW solitons and bifurcation cascades in a system of N coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

Laplacian Growth I: Finger Competition and Formation of a Single Saffman-Taylor Finger without Surface Tension: An Exact Result

We study the exact non-singular zero-surface tension solutions of the Saffman-Taylor problem for all times. We show that all moving logarithmic singularities a_k(t) in the complex plane ω= e^{iϕ}, where ϕis the stream function, are repelled from the origin, attracted to the unit circle and eventually coalesce. This pole evolution describes essentially all the dynamical features of viscous fingering in the Hele-Shaw cell observed by Saffman and Taylor [Proc. R. Soc. A 245, 312 (1958)], namely tip-splitting, multi-finger competition, inverse cascade, and subsequent formation of a single Saffman-Taylor finger.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of coupled array of Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua circuits

The circuit recently proposed by Murali, Lakshmanan and Chua (MLC) is one of the simplest non-autonomous nonlinear electronic circuits which shows a variety of dynamical phenomena including various bifurcations, chaos and so on. In this paper we study the spatio-temporal dynamics in one and two dimensional arrays of coupled MLC circuits both in the absence as well as in the presence of external periodic force. In the absence of any external force, the propagation phenomena of travelling wave front and its failure have been observed from numerical simulations....

Stability of Compacton Solutions of Fifth-Order Nonlinear Dispersive Equations

We consider fifth-order nonlinear dispersive $K(m,n,p)$ type equations to study the effect of nonlinear dispersion. Using simple scaling arguments we show, how, instead of the conventional solitary waves like solitons, the interaction of the nonlinear dispersion with nonlinear convection generates compactons - the compact solitary waves free of exponential tails. This interaction also generates many other solitary wave structures like cuspons, peakons, tipons etc. which are otherwise unattainable with linear dispersion. Various self similar solutions of these higher order nonlinear dispersive equations are also obtained using similarity transformations. Further, it is shown that, like the third-order nonlinear $K(m,n)$ equations, the fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations also have the same four conserved quantities and further even any arbitrary odd order nonlinear dispersive $K(m,n,p...)$ type equations also have the same three (and most likely the four) conserved quantities. Finally, the stability of the compacton solutions for the fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations are studied using linear stability analysis. From the results of the linear stability analysis it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton solutions are stable, since the stability conditions are satisfied for arbitrary values of the nonlinear parameters.
