Double-well potentials and crucial estimations in nonlinear dynamics of microtubules

In the present work, we study the two-component model of microtubules, the basic components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. We introduce a couple of estimations, which tremendously simplified the model. The paper is devoted to tangential oscillations of dimers, but we explain that the model can explain the radial oscillations as well. Finally, we study the stability of all solutions of differential equations, describing the dynamics of the microtubules.

Configurational Entropy of Optical Bright Similariton in Tapered Graded-Index Waveguide

Configurational entropy (CE) consists of a family of entropic measures of information used to describe the shape complexity of spatially-localized functions with respect to a set of parameters. We obtain the Differential Configurational Entropy (DCE) for similariton waves traveling in tapered graded-index optical waveguides modeled by a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is found that for similariton's widths lying within a certain range, DCE attains minimum saturation values as the nonlinear wave evolves along the effective propagation variable $ζ(t)$. In particular, saturation is achieved earlier for lower values of the width, which we show correspond to global minima of the DCE. Such low entropic values lead to minimum dispersion of momentum modes as the similariton waves propagate along tapered graded-index waveguides, and should be of importance in guiding their design.

A method to solve nonlinear Schrödinger equation using Riccati equation

A method to find exact solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equation, defined on a line and on a plane, is found by connecting it with second order linear ordinary differential equation. The connection is essentially made using Riccati equation. Generalisation of several known solutions is found using this method, in case of nonlinear Schrödinger equation defined on a line. This method also yields non-singular and singular vortex solutions, when applied to nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a plane.
