Solutions of Several Coupled Discrete Models in terms of Lame Polynomials of Order One and Two

Coupled discrete models abound in several areas of physics. Here we provide an extensive set of exact quasiperiodic solutions of a number of coupled discrete models in terms of Lame polynomials of order one and two. Some of the models discussed are (i) coupled Salerno model, (ii) coupled Ablowitz-Ladik model, (iii) coupled saturated discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation, (iv) coupled phi4 model, and (v) coupled phi6 model. Furthermore, we show that most of these coupled models in fact also possess an even broader class of exact solutions.

Mapping Between Generalized Nonlinear Schroedinger Equations and Neutral Scalar Field Theories and New Solutions of the Cubic-Quintic NLS Equation

We highlight an interesting mapping between the moving breather solutions of the generalized Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations and the static solutions of neutral scalar field theories. Using this connection, we then obtain several new moving breather solutions of the cubic-quintic NLS equation both with and without uniform phase in space. The stability of some stationary solutions is investigated numerically and the results confirmed via dynamical evolution.

Staggered and short period solutions of the Saturable Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

We point out that the nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger lattice with a saturable nonlinearity also admits staggered periodic as well as localized pulse-like solutions. Further, the same model also admits solutions with a short period. We examine the stability of these solutions and find that the staggered as well as the short period solutions are stable in most cases. We also show that the effective Peierls-Nabarro barrier for the pulse-like soliton solutions is zero.

Exact Solutions of the Two-Dimensional Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Saturable Nonlinearity

We show that the two-dimensional, nonlinear Schrödinger lattice with a saturable nonlinearity admits periodic and pulse-like exact solutions. We establish the general formalism for the stability considerations of these solutions and give examples of stability diagrams. Finally, we show that the effective Peierls-Nabarro barrier for the pulse-like soliton solution is zero.

Solitary wave in the Nonlinear Dirac Equation with arbitrary nonlinearity

We consider the nonlinear Dirac equations (NLDE's) in 1+1 dimension with scalar-scalar self interaction $\frac{g^2}{k+1} ({\bar Ψ} Ψ)^{k+1}$, as well as a vector-vector self interaction $\frac{g^2}{k+1} ({\bar Ψ} γ_μΨ\bPsi γ^μΨ)^{\frac{1}{2}(k+1)}$. We find the exact analytic form for solitary waves for arbitrary $k$ and find that they are a generalization of the exact solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and reduce to these solutions in a well defined nonrelativistic limit. We perform the nonrelativistic reduction and find the $1/2m$ correction to the NLSE, valid when $|ω-m |\ll 2m$, where $ω$ is the frequency of the solitary wave in the rest frame. We discuss the stability and blowup of solitary waves assuming the modified NLSE is valid and find that they should be stable for $k < 2$.

Kink ratchets in the Klein-Gordon lattice free of the Peierls-Nabarro potential

A discrete Klein-Gordon model with asymmetric potential that supports kinks free of the Peierls-Nabarro potential (PNp) is constructed. Undamped ratchet of kinks under harmonic AC driving force is investigated in this model numerically and contrasted with the kink ratchets in the conventional discrete model where kinks experience the PNp. We show that the PNp-free kinks exhibit ratchet dynamics very much different from that reported for the conventional lattice kinks which experience PNp [see, e.g., Phys. Rev. E {\bf 73}, 066621 (2006)]. Particularly, we could not observe any significant influence of the discreteness parameter on the acceleration of PNp-free kinks induced by the AC driving.

Compactons in PT-symmetric generalized Korteweg-de Vries Equations

In an earlier paper Cooper, Shepard, and Sodano introduced a generalized KdV equation that can exhibit the kinds of compacton solitary waves that were first seen in equations studied by Rosenau and Hyman. This paper considers the PT-symmetric extensions of the equations examined by Cooper, Shepard, and Sodano. From the scaling properties of the PT-symmetric equations a general theorem relating the energy, momentum, and velocity of any solitary-wave solution of the generalized KdV equation is derived, and it is shown that the velocity of the solitons is determined by their amplitude, width, and momentum.

Domain Wall and Periodic Solutions of Coupled phi6 and Coupled phi6-phi4 Models

We obtain several higher order periodic solutions of a Coupled phi6 model in terms of Lame polynomials of order one and two. These solutions are unusual in the sense that while they are the solutions of the coupled problem, they are not the solutions of the uncoupled problem. We also obtain exact solutions of coupled phi6-phi4 models, both when the phi4 potential corresponds to a first order (asymmetric double well) or a second order (symmetric double well) transition.

Suppression of quantum tunneling for all spins for easy-axis systems

The semi-classical limit of quantum spin systems corresponds to a dynamical Lagrangian which contains the usual kinetic energy, the couplings and interactions of the spins and an additional, first order kinematical term which corresponds to the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) term for the spin degree of freedom \cite{og}. It was shown that in the case of the kinetic dynamics determined only by the WZNW term, half odd integer spin systems show a lack of tunneling phenomena whereas integer spin systems are subject to it \cite{l} in the case of potentials with easy-plane easy-axis symmetry. Here we prove, for the theory with a normal quadratic kinetic term of arbitrary strength or the first order theory with azimuthal symmetry (which is equivalently the so-called easy-axis situation), that the tunneling is in fact suppressed for all non-zero values of spin. This model exemplifies the concept that in the presence of complex Euclidean action, it is necessary to use the ensuing complex critical points in order to define the quantum (perturbation) theory \cite{ampr}. In the present example, if we do not do so, exactly the opposite, erroneous conclusion, that the tunneling is unsuppressed for all spins, is reached.

Higher Order Periodic Solutions of Coupled phi4 Models

We obtain several higher order exact periodic solutions of (i) a coupled symmetric phi4 model in an external field, (ii) an asymmetric coupled phi4 model, (iii) an asymmetric-symmetric coupled phi4 model, in terms of Lame polynomials of order two and obtain the corresponding hyperbolic solutions in the appropriate limit. These solutions are unusual in the sense that while they are the solutions of the coupled problems, they are not the solutions of the corresponding uncoupled problems.

High-speed kinks in a generalized discrete $ϕ^4$ model

We consider a generalized discrete $ϕ^4$ model and demonstrate that it can support exact moving kink solutions in the form of tanh with an arbitrarily large velocity. The constructed exact moving solutions are dependent on the specific value of the propagation velocity. We demonstrate that in this class of models, given a specific velocity, the problem of finding the exact moving solution is integrable. Namely, this problem originally expressed as a three-point map can be reduced to a two-point map, from which the exact moving solutions can be derived iteratively. It was also found that these high-speed kinks can be stable and robust against perturbations introduced in the initial conditions.

Exact Static Solutions of a Generalized Discrete ϕ^4 Model Including Short-Periodic Solutions

For a five-parameter discrete $ϕ^4$ model, we derive various exact static solutions, including the staggered ones, in the form of the basic Jacobi elliptic functions $\sn$, $\cn$, and $\dn$, and also in the form of their hyperbolic function limits such as kink ($\tanh$) and single-humped pulse ($\sech$) solutions. Such solutions are admitted by the considered model in seven cases, two of which have been discussed in the literature, and the remaining five cases are addressed here. We also obtain $\sin$e, staggered $\sin$e as well as a large number of short-periodic static solutions of the generalized 5-parameter model. All the Jacobi elliptic, hyperbolic and trigonometric function solutions (including the staggered ones) are translationally invariant (TI), i.e., they can be shifted along the lattice by an arbitrary $x_0$, but among the short-periodic solutions there are both TI and non-TI solutions. The stability of these solutions is also investigated. Finally, the constructed Jacobi elliptic function solutions reveal four new types of cubic nonlinearity with the TI property.

Exact Moving and Stationary Solutions of a Generalized Discrete Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

We obtain exact moving and stationary, spatially periodic and localized solutions of a generalized discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. More specifically, we find two different moving periodic wave solutions and a localized moving pulse solution. We also address the problem of finding exact stationary solutions and, for a particular case of the model when stationary solutions can be expressed through the Jacobi elliptic functions, we present a two-point map from which all possible stationary solutions can be found. Numerically we demonstrate the generic stability of the stationary pulse solutions and also the robustness of moving pulses in long-term dynamics.

Exact static solutions to a translationally invariant discrete $ϕ^4$ model

For a discrete, translationally-invariant $ϕ^4$ model introduced by Barashenkov {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 72}, 35602R (2005)], we provide the momentum conservation law and demonstrate how the first integral of the static version of the discrete model can be constructed from a Jacobi elliptic function (JEF) solution. The first integral can be written in the form of a nonlinear map from which {\it any} static solution supported by the model can be constructed. A set of JEF solutions, including the staggered ones, is derived. We also report on the stability analysis for the static bounded solutions and exemplify the dynamical behavior of the unstable solutions. This work provides a road-map, through this illustrative example, on how to fully analyze translationally-invariant models in terms of their static problem, its first integral, their full-set of static solutions and associated conservation laws.

Level rearrangement in exotic atoms and quantum dots

A presentation and a generalisation are given of the phenomenon of level rearrangement, which occurs when an attractive long-range potential is supplemented by a short-range attractive potential of increasing strength. This problem has been discovered in condensate-matter physics and has also been studied in the physics of exotic atoms. A similar phenomenon occurs in a situation inspired by quantum dots, where a short-range interaction is added to an harmonic confinement.

Domain Wall and Periodic Solutions of Coupled Asymmetric Double Well Models

Coupled asymmetric double well ($aϕ^2-bϕ^3+cϕ^4$) one-dimensional potentials arise in the context of first order phase transitions both in condensed matter physics and field theory. Here we provide an exhaustive set of exact periodic solutions of such a coupled asymmetric model in terms of elliptic functions (domain wall arrays) and obtain single domain wall solutions in specific limits. We also calculate the energy and interaction between solitons for various solutions. Both topological (kink-like at $T=T_c$) and nontopological (pulse-like for $T\ne T_c$) domain wall solutions are obtained. We relate some of these solutions to domain walls in hydrogen bonded materials and also in the field theory context. As a byproduct, we also obtain a new one parameter family of kink solutions of the uncoupled asymmetric double well model.

Domain Wall and Periodic Solutions of a Coupled phi6 Model

Coupled triple well (phi6) one-dimensional potentials occur in both condensed matter physics and field theory. Here we provide a set of exact periodic solutions in terms of elliptic functions (domain wall arrays) and obtain single domain wall solutions in specific limits. Both topological, nontopological (e.g. some pulse-like solutions) as well as mixed domain walls are obtained. We relate these solutions to structural phase transitions in materials with polarization, shuffle modes and strain. We calculate the energy and the asymptotic interaction between solitons for various solutions. We also consider the discrete analog of these coupled models and obtain several single and periodic domain wall exact solutions.
