Nondegenerate bright solitons and their interactions in the generalized coupled nonlinear Schroedinger system

It is known that the generalized coupled nonlinear Schroedinger (GCNLS) equations can be reduced to the basic vector nonlinear Schroedinger models through various symmetry reductions. By using such reductions, soliton solutions of several interesting types can be obtained for the GCNLS system. In this paper, we show how the non-degenerate soliton solutions can be derived using one such reduction and analyze the various special features associated with the resulting soliton solutions. We find that the obtained non-degenerate soliton solutions exhibit breathing behavior, characterized by a breathing frequency. We also show that the vector solitons emerging from the reduction undergo elastic collisions with the standard phase shift, similar to the non-degenerate solitons of other coupled nonlinear Schroedinger models. Further, they undergo interesting energysharing collisions when they interact with the already known bright solitons. These collision scenarios are further confirmed by an appropriate asymptotic analysis. We have also analyzed the stability of the obtained vector solitons and found that they are stable against random perturbations. The results presented here enhance the understanding of the nature and dynamics of non-degenerate vector solitons.

Integrable motion of curves associated with the Fokas-Lenells equation and related spin system

In this article, we study the gauge equivalence between the integrable Fokas- Lenells equation (FLE) and an associated spin equation through a gauge transformation and the zero curvature condition. We also construct the Lax pair for the generalized spin equation to confirm its integrability. Further, by mapping a generalized spin system on a moving space curve in R3, we show its geometrical equivalence with the FLE. In particular, the associated evolution equations for the curvature and torsion of the space curve are shown to be equivalent to the FLE through a complicated complex transformation unlike the case of the well known Heisenberg spin equation and the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation.

Bright soliton interactions in the variable coefficient Fokas-Lenells equation, Conservation laws, Modulation instability and Soliton tunneling

We present here a study of the bright soliton dynamics in an inhomogeneous fibre by means of variable coefficient Fokas-Lenells equation with time varying dispersion, nonlinearity and gain/loss parameter. At first, we propose our system that governs the propagation of ultrashort pulses in an inhomogeneous fibre. Secondly, under a suitable gauge transformation, we transform the system into a simplified form of variable coefficient Fokas-Lenells equation. The Lax integrability and conservation laws are exhibited. We also study the stability of the generalised plane wave against small amplitude perturbations. Thereafter, by using a nonstandard Hirota bilinearization method with the help of a suitable auxiliary function, we obtain the bright one soliton, two soliton and provide a scheme for obtaining N-bright soliton solutions. The elastic collision dynamics of the two solitons is studied using asymptotic analysis. We also investigate the soliton acceleration/retardation under a suitable choice of dispersion and nonlinearity coefficients. Finally, the dramatic effect of the nonlinear tunnelling of the bright one and two-soliton is also studied under some Gaussian dispersion or nonlinearity.

Deep convolutional neural networks and data approximation using the fractional Fourier transform

In the first part of this paper, we define a deep convolutional neural network connected with the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) using the $\theta$-translation operator, the translation operator associated with the FrFT. Subsequently, we study $\theta$-translation invariance properties of this network. Unlike the classical case, these networks are not translation invariant. \par In the second part, we study data approximation problems using the FrFT. More precisely, given a data set $\fl=\{f_1,\cdots, f_m\}\subset L^2(\R^n)$, we obtain $\Phi=\{\phi_1,\cdots,\phi_\ell\}$ such that \[ V_\theta(\Phi)=\argmin\sum_{j=1}^m \|f_j-P_{V}f_j\|^2, \] where the minimum is taken over all $\theta$-shift invariant spaces generated by at most $\ell$ elements. Moreover, we prove the existence of a space of bandlimited functions in the FrFT domain which is ``closest" to $\fl$ in the above sense.

Coupled Nonlinear Schr\"odinger System: Role of Four-Wave Mixing Effect on Nondegenerate Vector Solitons

In this paper, we investigate the role of four-wave mixing effect on the structure of nondegenerate vector solitons and their collision dynamics. For this purpose, we consider the generalized coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger (GCNLS) system which describes the evolution and nonlinear interaction of the two optical modes. The fundamental as well as higher-order nondegenerate vector soliton solutions are derived through the Hirota bilinear method and their forms are rewritten in a compact way using Gram determinants. Very interestingly, we find that the presence of four-wave mixing effect induces a breathing vector soliton state in both the optical modes. Such breather formation is not possible in the fundamental vector bright solitons of the Manakov system. Then, for both strong and weak four-wave mixing effects, we show that the nondegenerate solitons in the GCNLS system undergo, in general, novel shape changing collisions, in addition to shape preserving collision under suitable choice of wave numbers. Further, we analyze the degenerate soliton collision induced novel shape changing property of nondegenerate vector soliton by deriving the partially nondegenerate two-soliton solution. For completeness, the various collision scenarios related to the pure degenerate bright solitons are indicated. We believe that the results reported in this paper will be useful in nonlinear optics for manipulating light by light through collision.

Modulation spaces, multipliers associated with the special affine Fourier transform

We study some fundamental properties of the special affine Fourier transform (SAFT) in connection with the Fourier analysis and time-frequency analysis. We introduce the modulation space $\boldsymbol {M}^{r,s}_A$ in connection with SAFT and prove that if a bounded linear operator between new modulation spaces commutes with $A$-translation, then it is a $A$-convolution operator. We also establish Hörmander multiplier theorem and Littlewood-Paley theorem associated with the SAFT.

Dynamics of nondegenerate solitons in long-wave short-wave resonance interaction system

In this paper, we study the dynamics of an interesting class of vector solitons in the long wave-short wave resonance interaction (LSRI) system. The model that we consider here describes the nonlinear interaction of the long-wave and two-short waves and it generically appears in several physical settings. To derive this class of nondegenerate vector soliton solutions we adopt the Hirota bilinear method with the more general form of admissible seed solutions with nonidentical distinct propagation constants. We express the resultant fundamental as well as multi-soliton solutions in a compact way using Gram-determinants. The general fundamental vector soliton solution possesses several interesting properties. For instance, the double-hump or a single-hump profile structure including a special flattop profile form results in when the soliton propagates in all the components with identical velocities. Interestingly, in the case of nonidentical velocities, the soliton number is increased to two in the long-wave (LW) component, while a single-humped soliton propagates in the two short-wave (SW) components. We establish through a detailed analysis that the nondegenerate multi-solitons in contrast to the already known vector solitons (with identical wave numbers) can undergo three types of elastic collision scenarios: (i) shape preserving, (ii) shape altering, and (iii) a novel shape changing collision, depending on the choice of the soliton parameters. In addition, we point out the coexistence of nondegenerate and degenerate solitons simultaneously along with the associated physical consequences. We also indicate the physical realizations of these general vector solitons in nonlinear optics, hydrodynamics, and Bose-Einstein condensates. Our results are generic and they will be useful in these physical systems and other closely related systems including plasma physics.

Nondegenerate bright solitons in coupled nonlinear Schrödinger systems: Recent developments on optical vector solitons

Nonlinear dynamics of an optical pulse or a beam continue to be one of the active areas of research in the field of optical solitons. Especially, in multi-mode fibers or fiber arrays and photorefractive materials, the vector solitons display rich nonlinear phenomena. Due to their fascinating and intriguing novel properties, the theory of optical vector solitons has been developed considerably both from theoretical and experimental points of view leading to soliton based promising potential applications. In the recent past, many types of vector solitons have been identified both in the integrable and non-integrable coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations framework. In this article, we review some of the recent progress in understanding the dynamics of the so called nondegenerate vector bright solitons in nonlinear optics, where the fundamental soliton can have more than one propagation constant. We address this theme by considering the integrable two CNLS family of equations, namely Manakov system, mixed 2-CNLS system, coherently CNLS system, generalized CNLS system and two-component long-wave short-wave resonance interaction (LSRI) system. In these models, we discuss the existence of nondegenerate vector solitons and their associated novel multi-hump geometrical profile nature by deriving their analytical forms through the Hirota bilinear method. Then we reveal the novel collision properties of the nondegenerate solitons in the Manakov system as an example. The asymptotic analysis shows that the nondegenerate solitons, in general, undergo three types of elastic collisions without any energy redistribution among the modes. Further, we show that the energy sharing collision exhibiting vector solitons arises as a special case of the newly reported nondegenerate vector solitons. Finally, we point out the possible further developments in this subject and potential applications.

Multihumped nondegenerate fundamental bright solitons in $N$-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system

In this letter we report the existence of nondegenerate fundamental bright soliton solution for coupled multi-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations of Manakov type. To derive this class of nondegenerate vector soliton solutions, we adopt the Hirota bilinear method with appopriate general class of seed solutions. Very interestingly the obtained nondegenerate fundamental soliton solution of the $N$-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) system admits multi-hump natured intensity profiles. We explicitly demonstrate this specific property by considering the nondegenerate soliton solutions for $3$ and $4$-CNLS systems. We also point out the existence of a special class of partially nondegenerate soliton solutions by imposing appropriate restrictions on the wavenumbers in the already obtained completely nondegenerate soliton solution. Such class of soliton solutions can also exhibit multi-hump profile structures. Finally, we present the stability analysis of nondegenerate fundamental soliton of the $3$-CNLS system as an example. The numerical results confirm the stability of triple-humped profile nature against perturbations of 5\% and 10\% white noise. The multi-hump nature of nondegenerate fundamental soliton solution will be usefull in multi-level optical communication applications with enhanced flow of data in multi-mode fibers.

Torsional potentials of glyoxal, oxalyl halides and their thiocarbonyl derivatives: Challenges for popular density functional approximations

The reliability of popular density functionals was studied for the description of torsional profiles of 36 molecules: glyoxal, oxalyl halides and their thiocarbonyl derivatives. HF and \textcolor{black}{eighteen} functionals of varying complexity, from local density to range-separated hybrid approximations and double-hybrid, have been considered and benchmarked against CCSD(T)-level rotational profiles. For molecules containing heavy halogens, all functionals except M05-2X and M06-2X fail to reproduce barrier heights accurately and a number of functionals introduce spurious minima. Dispersion corrections show no improvement. Calibrated torsion-corrected atom-centered potentials rectify the shortcomings of PBE and also improve on $σ$-hole based intermolecular binding in dimers and crystals.

Nondegenerate Solitons and their Collisions in Manakov System

Recently, we have shown that the Manakov equation can admit a more general class of nondegenerate vector solitons, which can undergo collision without any intensity redistribution in general among the modes, associated with distinct wave numbers, besides the already known energy exchanging solitons corresponding to identical wave numbers. In the present comprehensive paper, we discuss in detail the various special features of the reported nondegenerate vector solitons. To bring out these details, we derive the exact forms of such vector one-, two- and three-soliton solutions through Hirota bilinear method and they are rewritten in more compact forms using Gram determinants. The presence of distinct wave numbers allows the nondegenerate fundamental soliton to admit various profiles such as double-hump, flat-top and single-hump structures. We explain the formation of double-hump structure in the fundamental soliton when the relative velocity of the two modes tends to zero. More critical analysis shows that the nondegenerate fundamental solitons can undergo shape preserving as well as shape altering collisions under appropriate conditions. The shape changing collision occurs between the modes of nondegenerate solitons when the parameters are fixed suitably. Then we observe the coexistence of degenerate and nondegenerate solitons when the wave numbers are restricted appropriately in the obtained two-soliton solution. In such a situation we find the degenerate soliton induces shape changing behavior of nondegenerate soliton during the collision process. By performing suitable asymptotic analysis we analyze the consequences that occur in each of the collision scenario. Finally we point out that the previously known class of energy exchanging vector bright solitons, with identical wave numbers, turns out to be a special case of the newly derived nondegenerate solitons.

Nondegenerate soliton solutions in certain coupled nonlinear Schrödinger systems

In this paper, we report a more general class of nondegenerate soliton solutions, associated with two distinct wave numbers in different modes, for a certain class of physically important integrable two component nonlinear Schrödinger type equations through bilinearization procedure. In particular, we consider coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations (both focusing as well as mixed type nonlinearities), coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CCNLS) equations and long-wave-short-wave resonance interaction (LSRI) system. We point out that the obtained general form of soliton solutions exhibit novel profile structures than the previously known degenerate soliton solutions corresponding to identical wave numbers in both the modes. We show that such degenerate soliton solutions can be recovered from the newly derived nondegenerate soliton solutions as limiting cases.

Nondegenerate solitons in Manakov system

It is known that Manakov equation which describes wave propagation in two mode optical fibers, photorefractive materials, etc. can admit solitons which allow energy redistribution between the modes on collision that also leads to logical computing. In this paper, we point out that Manakov system can admit more general type of nondegenerate fundamental solitons corresponding to different wave numbers, which undergo collisions without any energy redistribution. The previously known class of solitons which allows energy redistribution among the modes turns out to be a special case corresponding to solitary waves with identical wave numbers in both the modes and travelling with the same velocity. We trace out the reason behind such a possibility and analyze the physical consequences.
