Hamiltonian form of extended cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon model

We derive an extended cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Hamiltonian structure in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon model with cubic-quintic nonlinearity. We use the nonlinear dispersion relation to properly take into account the input of high-order nonlinear effects in the Hamiltonian perturbation approach to nonlinear modulation. We demonstrate that changing the balance between the cubic and quintic nonlinearities has a significant effect on the stability of unmodulated wave packets to long-wave modulations.

High-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the envelope of slowly modulated gravity waves on the surface of finite-depth fluid and its quasi-soliton solutions

We consider the high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation derived earlier by Sedletsky [Ukr. J. Phys. 48(1), 82 (2003)] for the first-harmonic envelope of slowly modulated gravity waves on the surface of finite-depth irrotational, inviscid, and incompressible fluid with flat bottom. This equation takes into account the third-order dispersion and cubic nonlinear dispersive terms. We rewrite this equation in dimensionless form featuring only one dimensionless parameter $kh$, where $k$ is the carrier wavenumber and $h$ is the undisturbed fluid depth. We show that one-soliton solutions of the classical nonlinear Schrödinger equation are transformed into quasi-soliton solutions with slowly varying amplitude when the high-order terms are taken into consideration. These quasi-soliton solutions represent the secondary modulations of gravity waves.

The effect of the fifth-order nonlinearity on the existence of bright solitons below the modulation instability threshold

We analyze three different high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (HONLSE) models that have been used in the literature to describe the evolution of slowly modulated gravity waves on the surface of ideal finite-depth fluid. We demonstrate that the inclusion of the fifth-order nonlinear term to the HONLSE model introduces only a small correction to the amplitude of the bright HONLSE soliton solutions obtained without this term. Such soliton slutions behave as quasi-solitons in this more general case.

Bright and Dark Solitons on the Surface of Finite-Depth Fluid Below the Modulation Instability Threshold

We use the high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) derived to model the evolution of slowly modulated wave trains with narrow spectrum on the surface of ideal finite-depth fluid. This equation is the finite-depth counterpart of celebrated Dysthe's equation, which is usually used for the same purpose in the case of infinite depth. We demonstrate that this generalized equation admits bright soliton solutions for depths below the modulation instability threshold $kh\approx 1.363$ ($k$ being the carrier wave number and $h$ the undisturbed fluid depth), which is not possible in the case of standard NLSE. These bright solitons can exist along with the dark solitons that have recently been observed in a water wave tank [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 124101 (2013)].
